Florence + The Machine

I first heard her on the Colbert Report performing Dogs Day Are Over and I instantly fell in love. :luv2 Her voice is absolutely amazing. I've listened to both albums, but recently I've been favoring Ceremonials. I hope sometime in the future I can see Florence perform live.

After she won the Sound of the BBC poll or whatever, and I heard Lungs, I felt like my world had been rocked...there are so many epic and amazing songs on that album. ('Cosmic Love', anyone?) But I don't think the super long break between albums did her any favors. I was pretty disappointed in Ceremonials, with the exception of the flawless 'Never Let Me Go' and 'What The Water Gave Me'. Hopefully the next material she releases will bring back some of the magic for me. :'(

Finally a poll for this awesomeness. I love Lungs especially for Cosmic Love and Blinding, but Ceremonials blew my mind. Its the epitome of what I look for in music. Full of power, it never stops. Just love it.

omg, how am i supposed to pick?!!! :P

i think both albums are pretty fantastic. Lungs was a super colorful, fun, and diverse album. Ceremonials, however, is a cohesive, heavy, and dark album.

i think i'll go with Ceremonials. "Cosmic Love" is my favoriteeeeee ever ever, but i can listen to Ceremonials in full more, so...

has anyone heard their new song "Breath of Life" for the Snow White & The Huntsman soundtrack? GORGEOUS.

^ Yes yes it is very nice indeed :D here it is:

I'm going to see them in lolapalooza I'M SO HAPPY

I love lungs

Out of the two, I will always choose Lungs. Lungs is a very magical album. Ceremonials just didn't stick with me like Lungs did...But Only If for a Night is FLAWLESS!

Ceremonials FTW!

"No Light, No Light" is just pure gem! :heart

Lungs for me. That album is perfect. It has so much magic and soul in it. And although I love Ceremonials as well, it never touched me as much as Lungs did.

Lungs is a well-rounded album and it just blew my mind. Cosmic Love is probably one of my favourite songs ever. Ceremonials though fantastic didn't have as much magic as Lungs.

Has to be Ceremonials!

I've fallen in love with Only If For The Night. Absolutely beautiful and haunting track.

I think I like Ceremonials slightly better than Lungs. But Lungs' got some songs that are really, freaking amazing as well.

It's Ceremonials for me, I don't know Lungs well enough. There are a lot of good songs on the former (No Light, No Light; Seven Devils; Spectrum; All This And Heaven Too) and I love Cosmic Love and Howl from the latter, but I didn't get around to buying Lungs and listening to it properly yet.

My recent obsession is Breath of Life though. Beautiful. <3

Couldn't vote in the poll because both albums are absolutely stellar. I love Florence to death. I went and saw her in Chicago last December and am going to see her in Cleveland this July! :D

I live in Austin and Florence + the Machine is coming to ACL *_*

Saw Florence 2 nights ago in Melbourne, was amazing!!! She said in MC she went to see Nicki Minaj 2 nights before her melbourne show and said she enjoyed it hahaha

^That's so awesome!!! I would love to hear Nicki sample a Florence song or for Florence to feature Nicki in one of her songs! Have you guys heard the Kid Cudi x Florence mashup? It's called Falling Star (R3K Remix) and it's freaking amazing.

Why is Ceremonials so epic? OMG I love it so much, it's so powerful and amazing and... :cry

If Only for a Night has become one of my most favorite songs ever. Even if Ceremonials as a whole wasn't as super strong as Lungs, If Only for a Night is flawless. Although I think Ceremonials is creeping next to Lungs. They're both fantastic albums.

I didn't like Ceremonials at first but I loveeee it now. I wish HBO would've changed the Game of Thrones theme to Seven Devils instead of just using it in the trailer. So perfect for this season!!

I really can't get enough Florence. She's passed Ayu and tied with Hikki as my favorite artists ever. :heart

My friends can't believe she's in her 20s. Though I can see why. Lol

she's in her 20s?

what?

The first time I saw her I thought she was 40 at least.


wow...oh wow. she's 25? I'm in disbelief. I was always under the impression that she was an "older" entertainer. That maybe she had this whole life of music and whatever before she made it big....

this is so weird lol

I thought so too when I first got into her music. At the time my roomie was listening to Katy Perry, and I was all "This chick can't be younger than Katy! No way in hell."

I thought Adele was 30 lol. Them British ladies.

^lol I wasn't gonna say it outright ;P

I knooow :(

So guys, do you like Breath of Life? I think it's epic T.T

She has a new album coming out soon. I haven't listened to anything off of it yet though just cause I'm lazy; but I'll definitely be picking up this release. I've recently become obsessed with Never Let Me Go; so tranquil and beautiful.
