Florence and the machine

When people think about Florence and the machine the would think its a pop band, but in my opinion its alternative rock. Florence the lead singer is one of my all time top artists. Her voice herself sounds like an angel im not exaggerating i swear when you listen to one of her songs any, you're immediately dragged into. Its like you can feel the vibes and it just gives you jitters. The first time i listened to Florence and the Machine was to " Never let me go" that song just hit me, its just makes you emotional. Even though i didn't have any experience with the song i just felt an immediate connection. I think Florence herself is just an amazing inspiration.

During an interview, Florence cited Grace Slick as her influence and "hero". Florence and the Machine's style has been described as "dark, robust and romantic". Their music is a mix of "classic soul and midnight-on-the-moors English art rock".Florence stated that her lyrics related to Renaissance artists: "We're dealing with all of the same things they did—love and death, time and pain, heaven and hell."

I love the fact that Florence uses a style of influence that she then tries to interpret in her music. It makes her music even more meaningful. I think that Florence and the Machine is one of those bands were you keep thinking what is next?
