Florence + the Machine's Florence Welch has one of those big time voices you'd typically associate with pop divas, but up until now she's been content to be a standout in the alternative and indie world.
It was a busy weekend for music lovers in the U.K. Not only was the Isle of Wight Festival going on this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but Radio 1's Hackney Weekend had a busy two-day stretch as well. Video has surfaced of Florence + the Machine giving a goosebump-inducing performance of their hit 'Shake It Out.'
Florence + the Machine singer Florence Welch has moved on to dating an events organizer named James Nesbitt after breaking up with her last longterm boyfriend, but her biggest crush these days isn't either man -- and, in fact, isn't a guy at all.
'Lungs'
Everyone always talks about what a great voice Florence Welch has, and it all starts with those pipes that fans first came to love on the 'Lungs' album.
To our knowledge, a harp doesn't come with the 'Rock Band' video game, but Florence + the Machine fans should be happy to know that they can now rock just like their favorite red-headed songbird on the popular music-based game.
Featuring a remarkable wig, plenty of fabulous couture, a bevy of beautiful dancers and a memorably luminescent crotch, Florence + the Machine have released the official video for their latest single, 'Spectrum.'
It's time for Florence + the Machine to lighten up, and that's exactly what happens in their upcoming video for 'Spectrum.' The band recently shot the clip with acclaimed director David LaChapelle, and there's now a behind-the-scenes featurette about the process that's turned up as a tease for the video.
Florence + the Machine have selected fine arts photographer/music video director/documentary filmmaker David LaChapelle to helm the clip for 'Spectrum,' the next single off their 'Ceremonials' album. The shoot, which recently took place in Los Angeles, was the first LaChapelle directed since Amy Winehouse’s ‘Tears Dry on Their Own’ back in 2007.
Florence + the Machine are headlining the Bestival festival overseas this September, and are having some fun with the announcement. Singer Florence Welch and her bandmates revealed the news via a video performance in which they appear in costume while performing a stripped-down version of the Talking Heads classic 'Wild Wild Life.'
Florence Welch has officially accomplished half of the goals she set for herself when she started Florence + the Machine. Now, all she has left to do is convince Justin Timberlake to join her in the studio.
