Florence & The Machine cover Drake's "Take Care"

Two Florence & The Machine posts in one week?  When they're killin' it like this... absolutely.  On BBC 1's Live Lounge Special they tackle a Jamie xx-produced title track off of Drake's surprisingly excellent sophomore album, Take Care.

Florence Welch gave the best musical performance I've ever seen on SNL this past weekend... just, wow.

Florence + the Machine, "What the Water Game Me"

Indie darlings turned mass sensation provide us with a new track from their forthcoming sophomore effort and some visual teasers.

Florence & The Machine

Meet Florence Welch, the most sincere vocalist this side of 30.  Backed by a rocking band, her voice is equally at home over handclaps and a tambourine as it is screaming out over hard drums and guitars.  Her catchy "Kiss With A Fist" got me hooked, but the soul that pours out of "Hospital Beds" made me a fan for life.  Her voice completely fills out the melody making the song infinitely interesting despite the constant tom drum and acoustic strumming.  The lyrics are amazingly intricate and visual despite the slow tempo and short length.

The album, Lungs, drops July 6th.  Pre-order the album and get a signed copy here.
