Florence and the Machine – Lungs

Florence Welch, better known alongside her band as Florence and The Machine, confidently announces her arrival onLungs. With several strong singles taking up a fair portion of this debut release, it’s clear that Welch is as much a pop writer as she is a left-field artist, despite the early influence of punk and grunge on her life. Musically, these influences are tempered by an admiration for soul and contemporary indie. Welch also received the Critics’ Choice award at the Brits in 2009, usually a sign of big things to come. Includes the singlesYou’ve Got The LoveandRabbit Heart (Raise It Up).
