Florence + the Machine - Dance Fever, King + My Love (plus further floorfillers)

[Jark]

My Love is getting a massive push. straight onto Radio 1's A-list, top of New Music Friday, already on Hot Hits UK. I actually think King is perhaps a better song but happy for her to snatch a "hit" with this if the stars align.

 

[Jark]

Free
The Bomb
Girls Against God
Back in Town
Choreomania
Dream Girl Evil

instantly wonderful song. this album is shaping up really nicely indeed.

 

[funky]

Thank fuck she’s keeping it mainstream this season!

Bring on the ANTHEMZ Flo!

 

[FetchFugly]

Free is really good. It has such a rousing energy.

 

[COB]

A bit late but I've been enjoying the new songs quite a lot, King is really a very special song - she does a lot of little stuff with her inflections as it builds that I can't get enough of, and then that drop out then big BURST towards the end, it's too much It's got me back in the Florence mood, I might even do a top trax list later on.

 

[COB]

I am no mother
I am no bride

I
AM
KING​

In the words of the famous philosopher, mood forever

 

[Jark]

album #1 in the mids with 26.5k so far. High as Hope opened with 40k.

haven't listened yet so can't comment on the ratio of club bangers to percussion-free Jack Antonoff twang

 

[Phoenix]

I’m finding it very dull.

 

[funky]

I’ve saved a couple of tracks but it’s very SLOW

definitely more of the Art Project side of Florence.
I just don’t know if I have the patience for it

Happy for the longevity success though

 

[Pipo]

so she didn't go full dance/pop? FIGURES.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Ugh

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I do like this too

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I think it's my fave Florence album!!

 

[Jark]

WTF

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Her ART POP can mean anything

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Take us to church Queen

Sorry but I think I'm having a mini Florence stan era with this album

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm normally into Flo, but this is album is the TITS! What gives Moopy?

 

[COB]

I'm having my first listen now, it's fantastic so far

 

[FetchFugly]

Cassandra is my favourite of the new songs, it is GORGEOUS (in acoustic form as well).

 

[COB]

Choreomania is immediately one of my favourite things she's ever done. What a thrill!

 

[COB]

You said that rock and roll is dead
But is that just because it has not been resurrected in your image?
Like if Jesus came back, but in a beautiful dress
And all the evangelicals were like, "Oh, yes"

Can't stop playing/thinking about this verse. Queen King!

 

[funky]

Cassandra is my favourite of the new songs, it is GORGEOUS (in acoustic form as well).

That's my favourite.

Not loving the album on the whole, though.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

DREAM GIRL EVIL is particularly hitting hard for me on this Saturday morn brunchette time.


Take us to a medieval cathedral with your historical chamber pop bangers Queen King Flo!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

And yes it sounds great on vinyl of course

 

[COB]

I'm sorry, but the full album version of My Love (featuring the already iconic extended orchestral introduction)?

[COB]

New live album out today:

I've almost finished listening to it all - she's in fantastic voice, and it's quite the all killer no filler setlist for the most part.

 

[COB]

Actually shaking and crying at the version of Rabbit Heart at the end of this. Queen!!

 

[Pipo]

Shaking and crying at this shameless Spectrum erasure.

 

[funky]

I'm normally pretty critical of her live vocals but i've just had a flick through and she sounds wonderful. Found some footage on YouTube and she looks like she's having the time of her life at that gig. Never Let Me Go and Rabbit Heart sound incredible.

 

[POP!]

A new song "Mermaids" was added to Dance Fever (Complete Edition). Love the sassy brass instruments.
