There's a reason Florence Welch has been compared to '80s icon Kate Bush. Their vocal styles may be on entirely different pages, but both artists have a penchant for crafting epic tracks that grab you by the shirt and demand attention. This is especially demonstrated on at least two of Florence + The Machine's singles, "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" and "Drumming Song", and it remains true throughout the entire debut album Lungs.
In the age of iTunes, it seems as if the art of the album has become a thing of the past. Few musicians succeed at creating a sincere, cohesive piece of work. Florence Welch isn't one of those musicians. She's not just a singer; she's an artist. And while it'd probably be an overstatement to say that Lungs is a classic, it's at least reminiscent of the days when people still made classic albums.

Mmmm. I’m so glad you’re branching off from Lady Gaga and Britney. Nice to see an artist like this on here.
Anyways I thought if you wanted a suggestion for dance music you should check out some of the remixes by Fred Falke
He has one for Gossip’s “Heavy Cross” which is amazing as well as PNAU feat. Ladyhawke “Embrace”
Yes I agree this is a great album. I also agree with Michael about checking out Fred Falke. He has not only remixed The Gossip, but also Grizzly Bear and a host of other artists.
I cant not stop listening to The Drumming Song. Its so addictive to the point that I want to do drag in it.
Florence + the Machine is basically the best album of the year. More people should listen to it.
Matt – totally agree about Drumming Song. I would so do drag to that song. Or fuck to it!
if she has a Kate Bush vibe then I’m there
