Our favourite singing/drumming on the side sensation has been promising new music for a while and a single is coming next Friday:



Sounds a bit different for her, quite ANGSTY
 
This is fabulous

Oh she's not messing about this time, with the album, Magic For a While, announced for October and already up for pre-order:

  1. The Times
  2. Magic For A While
  3. Sofa
  4. Warrior
  5. Catch You If You Fall
  6. Late Night Running Through New York
  7. Spreadsheets
  8. Annie
  9. Malibu (Falling Over The Edge)
  10. I Wanna Be in LA
  11. Live in the Silence
  12. Sad Eyes
Last two are CD bonus tracks. Speaking of the CD, it is currently named as The Lost Ones on her store in error.
 
song is very different for Florrie! I need more TIMES with it
 
Malibu is not grabbing me on first listen but it might grow with a few plays. Kinda feels like it has a run of the mill, already done that feel within the catalogue.
 
the absolute Xenomania gay panic throwback of this. a hook at every turn, far too charming to resist.
 
there is fucking crack cocaine in this song. it's relentless!

her entirely new timbre on the verse is also a bit of a GAG.
 
Oh she's a moody one:



Obviously it is all relative in Florrie streaming terms, but Malibu has more than double the streams of The Times.
 
pretty good fuzzy moody remix. the song is just such a fucking smash.

next single out next friday

sounds incredible. the album is gonna be better than the last one I think.
 
I'm feeling very positive about it too, there seems to be more confidence around things this time. The last album had some excellent songs, even though it felt a little caught between the old Florrie sound and a bit of a hangover from some of the less interesting tracks she dropped in recent years.
 
is Malibu still on spotify etc. for you guys? it's "unavailable" on my Qobuz (but the remix remains)...
 


More chilled than Malibu but she really decided to put all the hooks in for this album.
 
love this. the verses especially are top notch and the final minute is excellent. so much room to breathe when a pop song is 4-5 minutes long, thank god we're moving back in that direction.
 
I do hope she’s doing some shows later this year. Would be great to see her :disco:

Those verses are from the olden Florrie times:



 
it's not going to challenge Warrior or Malibu, two SOTY contenders for me right now, but what a lovely song
 
Love the new song. She posted that it is the big sister to Kissing In The Cold and there definitely is some crossover there:



Speaking of Kissing In The Cold, she pointed out in her email today that it now has 20m views on YouTube. I'm not sure how that happened, it seems to be so much bigger than anything else and while it is her top song on Spotify, it isn't so far ahead.

Also she says she has written a proper ('tasteful') Christmas song.
 


Disappointed she isn't playing here, considering she's FROM here.

Only listened to the album once. Liked but didn't love it. But that's not unusual for me with Florrie - songs often take a little while to get under my skin and albums appearing a little samey initially.

loving the average song length being 4:10. these songs have so much room to breathe, it's lovely. The Times is a bit of a bummer isn't it? just doesn't fit, I'll probably skip from now on. Spreadsheets is a QUIRKY GAL! I Wanna Be in LA felt over too soon somehow. very good stuff.
