New Music: Florence + The Machine's ‘What The Water Gave Me’

Crystal

on August 24, 2011

Remember that little album Lungs by Florence + The Machine? Sure you do! Many of you named it as your Favorite Album of 2010 even though it was released in 2009, which I feel is a true mark of a hugely successful and downright spectacular album. Well good news, Florence fans. The yet-to-be-titled new album is set for release on November 7, and the world has been treated to a preview.

Here's the music video for a stunning new track, “What The Water Gave Me”.

What do you think?

At this point I feel that most people are well aware of just how phenomenal and deserving of that ‘Queen of (Indie) Pop’ title Florence is, but it’s always nice to have a reminder. In terms of new material, “What The Water Gave Me” delivers everything I’ve dreamed about and then some; there’s little doubt that in a few short months Florence’s name will be dominating our Favorite Albums of 2011 list too.

    I love it.

    One of my favourite things about F+M has always been how well Florence’s voice harmonizes with the music of a harp. There’s something new in every song.

    I can already tell it’s going to be awesome.
    Awesome enough that I’ll probably actually pay real money for it.

    GAH! I’m so happy to finally hear a high quality version of this! All those awful, shaky youtube videos just weren’t cutting it anymore.

    I can see how her music is evolving. FATM used to equal powerful ethereal voice + heavy drums + elegant harp flourishes to me. This track really went kind of back to kiss with a fist with its more guitar presence but this time with more bass.

      same here! it doesn’t really sound ‘florencey’ without all the subtle harp and twinkley bits, and i guess it’s missing some of the theatricality older florence had.

    #63 on the list of things the world will probably never have too many of: witchy hippie/hipster women lead singers with snappy style and cute noses.
