Florence + The Machine Biography

THE MOMENT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITNG FOR IS HERE! Well, maybe. I have anyways. It’s time for a band’s biography! This week’s lucky band is………………………………………………………………………………………..
FLORENCE + THE MACHINE!
The lead singer of this band is Florence Mary Leontine Welch, and she is from London, England. Florence + The Machine was founded in 2007. Her music can be described as a blend of pop, soul, and baroque. The subjects of the lyrics appear to be in the same category as Adele, Lilly Allen, etc. The band consists of Florence all of the time, as well as Isabella “Machine” Summers, and a rotating group of musicians. At the moment, the band consists of Robert Ackroyd, Tom Monger, Chris Hayden, and Mark Saunders. Robert is the guitarist, Tom is the harpist, Chris is the drummer, Mark is the bassist, and Isabella is the keyboardist. Their debut single was “Kiss with a Fist”. It was released in June 2008. Lungs was their debut album, and it was and still is, wildly popular. It was released in July 2009. “The Dog Days Are Over” was actually sung on the hit TV show Glee. That song was my favorite from that album. Florence has actually charted FORTY top singles in just twelve months before! I love her voice so much. My favorite album is actually Ceremonials. I have three songs from this album on my iPod. “What the Water Gave Me”, “Shake It Out”, and “No Light, No Light” are my favorites. This album was released on Halloween in 2011. If I was a singer, I would totally release my album on Halloween! “Shake It Out” was also sung on Glee. Florence + the Machine has won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Art Direction. Florence Welch is only 26 years old despite what many people may think. I know! I can’t wait to hear more of her music!
