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.
