Florence + the Machine- Lungs Album Review


If you like soul, indie, artsy, blues, or all, then you will definately enjoy Florence + the Machine.

Florence Welch is from London. It is said that she was discovered when she dragged her now manager into the bathroom at a club and sang an Etta James song to her.

Florence + the Machine's album, Lungs, is full of creative, fantasy lyrics, a variety of different sounding music (although her voice remains the same wailing), and most importantly A HARP!!

Florence's voice is one of a kind. It's amazing how young, skinny, caucasion girls can sound like big, black women.
 Each track on the album has its own sound. There are already 5 singles off of the 12 track album, with another song that was never released as a single being used for promotion commercials for television shows.


Each track seems to highlight a certain instrument. The lyrics all tell stories with interesting words.

Florence hopes to have a career like Bjork and PJ Harvey.
She has also been compared to Kate Bush.

This has to be one of my all time favorites.
