shouty!

 

[Jark]

I didn't vibe much with the last two albums so we'll see. great artwork though

 

[lolly]

At least she's warning us.

Is the cover image from when she got stuck in Enya’s sex swing?

 

[Jark]

I like this a lot! production knocks. James Ford and Aaron Dessner co-produced.

 

[FetchFugly]

I'm definitely into the song. Video... unsure

 

[Rita]

Wow this is AMAZING!!

 

[Rita]

Is it just me getting KATE BUSH vibes?

 

[funky]

Oh that's quite good.

She's had Kate Bush vibes on and off since the start really, but anyone who does a bit of banshee pop is going to get that comparison - Kate Bush basically invented the genre herself so there'll always be that connection.

 

[Inner Smile]

I thought the dog days were over??

 

[Tisch]

I like this! I feel like it should have been out around the beginning of summer/festival season for a bigger impact though. First listen is much more instant than their last couple of lead singles.

 

[Joseph]

It’s not bad and I really like the video

 

[FetchFugly]

Florence has some thoughts:



Extra points for working BEDRAGGLED in there.

 

[octophone]

She's revealed that she nearly died after suffering an ectopic pregnancy in 2023. Grim.

 

[Tisch]

We have a tracklisting

1."Everybody Scream"
2."One of the Greats"
3."Witch Dance"
4."Sympathy Magic"
5."Perfume and Milk"
6."Buckle"
7."Kraken"
8."The Old Religion"
9."Drink Deep"
10."Music By Men"
11."You Can Have It All"
12."And Love"

I feel the most invested in them than I have since the third album

 

[funky]

I’m all for some new Flo but I’ve not liked either of the new tracks tbh

 

[funky]

I might have to put the second album on again to counter it.. it’s just majestic and a perfect autumn/winter album

Absolutely this! I've also struggled with the 2 new tracks, so will try again when the full album is out.

 

[funky]

Was this album campaign in need of a big pop stomper? Yes it was.

Did Florence respond in kind? OH YES SHE DID.

 

[FetchFugly]

I've given it a couple of listens but the album is still kind of hard work for me.

Buckle is a lovely pared back moment though:



Mitski has her fingerprints on that one.

 

[funky]

Oh I didn’t know the album was out. I assume Sympathy Magic is the chosen promo single for the album release as it’s #1 on NMF and it was in my radar, but when you click on the song it doesn’t take you to the album. Which has to be some sort of error.

 

[Joseph]

I’m really enjoying this album now

 

[Inner Smile]

Anything as good as COSMIC LOVE

 

[big ron]

Really enjoyed her Jools performance

 

[funky]

I haven’t been able to get into the whole album but “Music By Men” is stunning, “Sympathy Magic” is just a GREAT pop song, one of her best singles, and “You Can Have It All” is Florence at her gothic BEST

I quite like “Buckle” too. The rest I haven’t gone back to.

 

[Joseph]

This is a really good album as a whole

 

[VV]

I'm really liking this album at the moment.
