Florence + the Machine

I am in love with this women. Her vocals are so good she makes me want to cry. Her voice is so motivating and powerful, it makes me want to get up and run a marathon. Before I say anymore, I really want you to listen to this song:

If you haven't fallen in love with that voice, I am sorry that you are missing out on a such an incredible talent. The way she starts with that powerful intro really sets a great mood for the song. I love it when artists make statements like that. From the very beginning, they give it all they have rather than just slowly climbing to their climax.

Florence + The Machine are a British indie, rock band that consists of Florence Welch and Isabella Summers and a variety of artists are used as their back up music. Her recent album, Ceremonials, is a really emotional and empowering album with tribals sounds and a variety of music influences. In some songs, I see influences from maybe African tribes and in others, I see influences from Egypt and the Middle East. Florence Welch has the same classy sound as Kate Nash, but Nash's sound is much softer, while Welch's is full of energy and anger, which really brings life into her music.

This song is a very good example of how she incorperates different sounds into her songs. What I love about her songs is when the song begins, I feel like it has a set path. Rather than bouncing everywhere and being jumbled, it is very organized and together, building at the right times and softening at others.

Here are some other songs of Florence that I love:

No Light, No Light

Bedroom Hymns

Heartlines

Strangeness and Charm

If you have time, I really urge you to listen to as many of her songs as possible. She is a really talented and inspiring artist and I feel like she has a lot to offer in the world of music!
