The track

Missing You is the comeback track from London underground grime rapper Foxxxy (Taylor Fox). Bursting onto the scene in the summer of 2011 with vibrant and bouncing grime tunes, Foxxxy would go on to release two singles in her first few weeks in the industry, with her second track, Stand Up, hitting the number one slot on the Digital Top 20 Charts, an unprecedented reality for someone who has only just begun what they hope will be a long and successful journey to the top. Stand Up would spend two weeks at the top of the charts as Foxxxy's unique and exciting personality would win her fans across the globe, her one-of-a-kind accent in particular becoming a firm favourite with her legion of fans.
Following on from the success of her two summer singles, Foxxxy would go on to join Electrodeath on their Wicca World Tour, another unprecedented and massive deal for one so young. At the age of 17, Foxxxy said she was living the dream, having the chance to play to packed out arenas and let the world hear rhymes which had previously been confined to arenas that lived in her mirror, with an audience of just one; herself. Following on from the Electrodeath tour, Foxxxy announced that she would be taking some time out to deal with the quick rise she had to fame, as well as getting away from everything to write new material which would be more considered, more real, and more mature.

Now, almost one year on from her meteoric rise to fame, the chart topper is back, aged 18, with new rhymes, new friends, and a brand new attitude. Her third single Missing You represents something that was not evident on her first two records; a serious, negative and dark edge that lends itself wonderfully to her superior rhyming skills and her quickfire spitting of aggressive and hard-hitting lyrics. For the comeback, Foxxxy teams up with Italian dance superstar Cinzia Ricci. The pair met on the Electrodeath tour, and are said to have become good friends as a result of spending a lot of time together between shows. While Foxxxy's voice and lyrics are dark, angry and full of hate and retribution throughout this track, Cinzia provides a softer and more emotional and touching tone throughout the choruses, conveying the hurt and heartbreak portrayed through the song wonderfully.

Missing You is a very dark and emotive underground rap song. It begins with the sound of some rain beating down on a concrete ground loudly, before the sound of thunder can be heard somewhere in the distance. From there, there is a quiet and reasonably slow beat begins, which eventually overpowers the sound of the rain and drowns it out. The verses are very dark, and the sound of loneliness that runs through the song is conveyed by the fact that only the beating of drums in the background play out against the enigmatic and atmospheric yet saddening voice and lyrics of Foxxxy.
For the choruses, a dim yet audible synth noise comes in just as Cinzia does. It is flowing and sounds smooth, yet still sad and downtrodden Cinzia's voice, flowing and unwavering, almost mirrors the synth, bringing a beautiful and emotional feel to the song.

Missing You is released on Studio 60 Records on July 29th

Lyrics

Let's not take it as far back as the start of our fling/
I gave you my heart, my all, but you were scared of dat ring/
Remember how we were when we had the chance to be one/
I held you deep in my heart your mates said you just wanted fun/
Every day since I run it over in my mind and I think of you/
And when I see you around, I wonder if you feel it too/
Sometimes I find myself readin' the texts on my phone/
It's not that I want you, I'm just feelin' alone/
I don't wanna forget you/
I will never regret you/
But I'm slippin' from your mind when I hear that dial tone/

And when the time came at last I knew we was finished/
It's just I wasn't ready to admit your love had diminished/
I've heard all tha' shit you were talkin' about/
How you told everyone that I'd scream and I'd shout/
But you know that was lies, you pushed me down to the kerb/
I sat in the raindrops watching you leave without a word/
But this ain't time to be cryin'/
Even when you been lyin'/
And now I watch you stalkin' around town wit' your latest bird/

You made me walk through this emotional storm/
Feet bare, skin exposed there ain't no shelter in the warm/
I don't want you back, I just want you to remember/
Your summer-time love turned cold and darker than December/
Why can't you see it's not that easy to let go/
You had an iron grip on my heart but now you're letting it flow/
Now as I'm standing here, my memory is pain, it's true/
You know that I'm still missing you/
(Missing you)

I'm standin' alone, it's like my heart's been ripped from my chest/
You tossed it atop of the fire to be burned with all the rest/
That's all I ever was to you, a pawn in your big game/
I tried to be your queen, but I wanted a knight and you were lame/
But is this the way it is? Is the world just one big board?/
And we just play towards our own goals, tryin' to strike a chord/
I still feel you just rolled a dice/
Chose her over me not once but twice/
I don't hold it against you at all, I just resent bein' ignored/

You made me walk through this emotional storm/
Feet bare, skin exposed there ain't no shelter in the warm/
I don't want you back, I just want you to remember/
Your summer-time love turned cold and darker than December/
Why can't you see it's not that easy to let go/
You had an iron grip on my heart but now you're letting it flow/
Now as I'm standing here, my memory is pain, it's true/
You know that I'm still missing you/
(Missing you)

You're a protagonist, but more Norman Bates than Schindler's List/
This ain't a game of cards, you got no time to stick or twist/
You see you got no way out, I ain't affordin' you no option/
My heart ain't gone to the highest bidder you can't win me at the auction/
I feel like one of us, you or me, we're lost in some kinda daze/
Your life seems to be full of dead ends, like you're scrapin' through a maze/
You said you'd remember me by it/
That was a promise I'll make you stand by it/
You let her win cos, see, she the all new craze/

You made me walk through this emotional storm/
Feet bare, skin exposed there ain't no shelter in the warm/
I don't want you back, I just want you to remember/
Your summer-time love turned cold and darker than December/
Why can't you see it's not that easy to let go/
You had an iron grip on my heart but now you're letting it flow/
Now as I'm standing here, my memory is pain, it's true/
You know that I'm still missing you/
(Missing you)

So give me one more chance to show what I'm feelin'/
You never called back again, left me angry, I'm reelin'/
I don't even want you, I just think it's sad that you forget/
You can't just flush me from your memory like some cheap dyin' pet/
Next time I see you with her yeah, don't worry, I'll say nothin'/
But know that I can, and sometime will, and trust me I ain't bluffin'/
So I feel like I can walk away now/
It's like I got nothing more left to say now/
Maybe one day it'll be you left huffin' and puffin'/

You made me walk through this emotional storm/
Feet bare, skin exposed there ain't no shelter in the warm/
I don't want you back, I just want you to remember/
Your summer-time love turned cold and darker than December/
Why can't you see it's not that easy to let go/
You had an iron grip on my heart but now you're letting it flow/
Now as I'm standing here, my memory is pain, it's true/
You know that I'm still missing you/
(Missing you)
