Who recorded the 2013 hit "Clarity"?

The story behind the answer

Zedd featuring Foxes recorded the 2013 hit "Clarity." Zedd, the stage name of Russian-German DJ and producer Anton Zaslavski, created the electronic production, while British singer-songwriter Foxes provided the lead vocals.

The song first appeared on Zedd's debut studio album, Clarity, which was released in 2012. It became a single internationally in 2013, helping establish Zedd as a major name in dance-pop and electronic music. Its sound combines progressive house, dance-pop, prominent synthesizers, and a dramatic vocal chorus.

A common mix-up is to credit the song only to Foxes because her voice is so central to the recording. However, the official billing is "Zedd featuring Foxes": Zedd is the primary recording artist and producer, while Foxes is the featured vocalist. The track won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the 56th Grammy Awards in 2014, making it one of Zedd's defining career achievements.
