Lungs- Florence + The MachineReleased in April 2009, Florence + The Machine's debut album is a sign of great things to come. Florence's voice is truly something special; with talent abound, she can hit those epic notes and the melodic even soul-like tone of her voice offer a soothing yet powerful sensation. Let's not forget about the "Machine" part of the band which is comprised of various bands who add there vocals and instruments to the musical atmosphere. This album is near flawless although certain tracks stand out more than others; such as: "Howl", an angelic blend of vocals and ambient sound that result in something truly beautiful. "You've Got The Love", the title speaks for itself and the lyrics go where you would expect, but the way it gets there is the most enjoyable part. "Blinding" really shows off her vocal range in spades. "Drumming Song" the chorus best describes the album as a whole in my opinion: " Louder than sirens, louder than bells, sweeter than Heaven and hotter than Hell". "Rabbit Heart" is the song that grabbed me since the first listen and cemented my love for this band, fantastic lyrics, grandiose instrumental and just the right length, in short, perfect. If you enjoy Indie/Soul, you'll truly be enchanted with this album.
