Florence and the Machine (sometimes stylised as Florence + the Machine) is the recording name of English rock artist Florence Welch and a collaboration of other artists who provide backing music for her voice. Florence and the Machine's sound has been described as a combination of various genres, including rock and soul. The band's music has received praise across the music media before they gained mainstream success, especially from the BBC who played a large part in Florence and the Machine's rise to prominence by promoting her as part of BBC Introducing.
So, what do you all think about Ms. Flo? Any other fans of her here at AI? I personally adore her, she's a terrific singer. Lungs was definitely one of my top favorite albums of 2009. She's one of the artists that have made me get back into Western music, I really hope she tours in Norway one day!
What are your favorite songs by F+TM? I like all of their songs, really, but mainly "Dog Days Are Over", "You've Got The Love", and "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)".

Lovelovelovelove Florence♥ Lungs was the best of album of 2009 by a far! I actually only bought it on a whim, because I thought the cover was pretty. I'm glad I did though XD
Florence the Machine did perform in Oslo two times last year, I think. Don't quite remember it at the top of my head. I didn't get to see her though, since I couldn't afford both concert tickets and the trip to Oslo...
Anyways! The entire album is great, but my favorite songs are "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)", "Girl With One Eye", "Cosmic Love" and "Dog Days Are Over". Oh, and "Bird Song", thanks to this performance:
Spoiler:
Awesome~

Oh, really, she did? How could I have missed her?! And my aunt lives in Oslo, so it would be piece o' cake getting there to see her. Aw. Well, next time, there is always a next time~ ^_^
Wow, amazing performance, I really hope to be able to see her live some day~ =)

Florence + The Machine has been busy with a series of interviews lately, talking about her experiences with the festivals and gigs this summer, plus giving little hints away about the upcoming 2011 album.
She says she'll be talking more about her views on the world and love in this second album, rather than her emotions about her own experiences. No title has been specified yet, nor a release date.

I am so ready for new music from Florence ;__; Even though I know it hasn't been that long since her debut.
I guess I'll have to hunt down some of those interviews too keep me occupied untill we get some more news. x3

Well, her debut was two years ago now! I think it's time for a new album. Her debut single was released in 2008, and then re-released in 2009 to huge success.
I'll try and look for some transcripts of the interviews; I listened to them on BBC Radio 1 (U.K).

Flo will release her new album "Ceremonials" on 31 October, and she's already released two singles that will lead up to the album. The most recent is Shake It Out and the other is called What The Water Gave Me.
Excited♥ What The Water Gave Me is gorgeous.
