I have to admit, after listening to Dog Days I've really grown to like Florence's singing. Her Aretha Franklin tribute at the Grammy's this year was absolutely fantastic.

It's kind of funny how in interviews she's so shy, silent and innocent and once she performs she becomes this massive stage presence. :rolleyes:

It's the booze.

 

No, seriously. I heard she drinks a lot while on stage. Michael can probably verify that for all of us.

 

Well, give me some of that booze! :D

Last time I saw her, she took a shot of pure vodka before performing Hurricane Drunk.

 

So yes, I can verify this. :P

 

EDIT: Ladies and gentlemen, the lead single "Shake It Out":

Ooooo! I'm loving it!! Wasn't sure I liked how it started, but once the drums came in...it was pure epicness!

 

ETA: She sounds a bit different, I think. Could be the way her voice is mixed with the instrumentals and backing vocals, but if I was just a casual listener, it would be hard for me to distinguish that it's Florence.

A great and positive surprise after hearing Paradise which was...just weird. Yeah I started to like it but it's now the way it should be. What is the point in listening the song 40 times to like it? I love Coldplay but...it was weird.

So, when I first heard this song - means like 3 hours ago I loved it straight away and near 1/3 through the song I already cried. Lame, but I had a heavy day. Thanks very much Florence you're amazing as always.

I love the start. I particularly enjoyed the abundance of low strings. :cheesy:

ATTN COLDPLAY:

This is how you write a catchy radio single.

I listened this evening Paradise and Shake it out one after another....the difference gap in term of quality hit me really hard....Pull yourself together CP!

 

Okay, for those who have listened to both of Flo's new singles, which do you like more? WTWGM or SIO?

I love both. SIO is more upbeat/catchy, WTWGM is more floesque.... It's different and my heart squeed madly at the first listen of those two! *hopeless fan* :P

I like this one:

 

'Never Let Me Go'

We're back to familar themes of the sea in this piano-led slowie. Florence's backing vocalists intone "never let me go" in the chorus, before the slow build (the verses recall Enya) reveals a full pelting power ballad,

:awesome:
