On Friday I found myself having a day dedicated to finding out more about Florence and the Machine! YouTube was my resource for all the interviews, music videos and live shows I could possibly find on the marvelously unique and intriguing band.
The first treat I lay my eyes on was the music video for Rabbit Heart...I ended up watching it three times in a row...continuously mesmerised! I decided there and then Florence Welch was possibly the most beautiful woman of this decade! When I watched the video for the Drumming Song.... This only confirmed my thoughts!
Being a complete and utter old school girl at heart, with my soul belonging somewhere between the 1920s and 1990s, I could completely appreciate the incredibly graceful, vintage, yet roaring feminine rock and roll style this girl has got going on! Shes so effortless, and my god, how refreshing it is to see a young girl taking the charts by storm....who isn't blinding me with a fake orange tan! Her style is timeless and her beauty grows on you like a blossoming flower.
Amongst the many interviews I watched with her, my favorite had to be where she talks about being highly dyslexic and therefor putting all her efforts into the creativity that came so naturally to her... this being mainly her art and music. She lived her life in a imaginary world, and one day created these worlds in small jars, where she made miniature people out of clay and unique miniature surroundings.
Florence and her beautifully fearless voice, were discovered in the toilets of a party, The lady who approached her was astounded by her vocals and instantly asked to be her manager. Having never been a manager, and Florence being fresh to the music scene, little did they expect to end up where they are now. Slowly Florence created her band, putting musicians together bit by bit, Until finally Florence and the Machine were created.
It has been such a long time since there has been such a unique, incredibly talented and totally rocking 70s inspired chick has been making it big in the music scene... and the best part of it all, shes completely genuine. She Isn't styled and modelled on record label ideals, or trying her hardest to fit into a identity that just isn't her... she is simply Florence... A real inspiration and ideal role model for the younger female generation of today!
We welcome you warmly, lovely Florence and the Machine, To our musical ears.
The best Florence + The Machine !!! :)
