Florence & The Machine

There is nothing original about loving Florence & The Machine.

"Dog Days" is on every playlist.
"Cosmic Love" seems to be the soundtrack for every movie.
"Shake it Out" is set to be this year's "Dog Days".

The only artist getting more play as the "I'm-Indie-No-Wait-I'm-On-the-Radio-24/7" is Adele (not a slam, love her too).


Though I'm digging their new album, Ceremonials, it's F&M's covers that are on constant repeat on my ipod.

"Addicted to Love"...
Sorry Palmer, she nails it.

"Halo"...
Beyonce's version is good. This is better.

"Take Care"...
This one is a draw for me. Flo is good, but you can't deny the Rihanna/Drake chemistry.

Does she seem like a bit of a fruit loop? Of course she does (her curtain gowns puzzle me every time). But the girl can sing. And she brings a harp with her everywhere she goes, so what's not to like?

  1. Agreed on the appreciation despite the overplay. I Just don't see a few of those hooks coming off of my workout mix anytime soon. Then I find a new use of an older Florence tune and it feels completely new again. If you haven't seen the moments of beach zen known as "My Home, Our Home," it's the perfect break in the day. http://vimeo.com/26646640
