I discovered Florence on 1 of the blogs I visit prob the brillant "hits from another planet" blog I always visit with some of the best new and up+coming inde artists out there. I was taken back by her soulful and strong vocals that seems to have gone right through me. Little did I know, Florence is actually only 24 my age, but appears to look 40 in utube videos. It might be because she has pale skin and bright red hair... The range in her voice was magnificent.
What is special about her sound is that she is one of those artists described as 'real' she's not 'unreachable' as the type of concerts she performs in really touch you and a relativness is felt. The Le Posion de Rouge venue in the city is very small, yet I am starting to like its intimate atmosphere, especially after I saw Marina and The Dimaonds there. I think that the fact that Florence's mic volume was so low and all the instruments she has were so loud, it killed her powerful voice, so unforuntually compared to the Terminal 5 show, I didn't get to hear her voice in its entirely the way I wanted to and the way it should of been. Even though her sold out show at Terminal 5, the mic was at a normal volume so her full range could be heard, that concert lacked the intimacy that my concert did that I saw.
Her interaction with the crowd too was rather funny, and she was very close to doing a stage dive. There was this drunk annoying girl that kept giving her shots over and over again until a point where she was thrown out. Yet Florence kept taking the shots, she is insane when it came to that, like there could have been drugs in the shots.
My fav songs from Florence are definitly, "Betweeen two Lungs" aka "lungs," "Hardest of Hearts" aka "hearts" and "You've got the Love." Those 3 songs in my opinion jusify that she is going to become huge. Some notiables are def "Drumming song" which is the first song I discovered of hers and I was instantly addicted, and "Blinding." New and upcoming talent named Florence with her wonderful band called the machine which consisted of every single instrument ever thought possible.
