Having already released five singles off their debut 'Lungs', 'Florence + The Machine' recently filmed the video for their next single 'Hurricane Drunk', due out March 22nd. Still fresh off the success of their first album, Florence is busy recording their sophomore effort.
'Lungs' has garnered much acclaim, and is widely regarded as one of the top albums in a year filled with standouts. Allmusic described it as "one of the most musically mature and emotionally mesmerizing albums of 2009". I like the wording used there, although I would have just stuck with "fucking awesome". Often described as soulful indie-rock, lead singer Florence Welch's jazz and blues influences shine through in her singing.
In June 2009, 'Florence + The Machine' covered Beyonce's 'Halo' at the famous 'Live Lounge' on BBC's Radio 1. The host of 'Live Lounge' said it was one of the best covers they've ever had, high praise considering the caliber of artists they've had in the studio.
