www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dMYxGrSLZg&feature=relatedIm completely OBSESSED with this singer. She totally dont have the recognition she derserves...yet...im thinking they are gonna become pretty big soon so I wanted to post the first single from their first album Lungs. Iv been a big fan for a few months now and have been eagerly awaiting a release of her first album, Iv made do with the occassional live cover song on youtube or the two previous songs they have released. So wanted to spread the love for Florence...hope you like the song...I LOVE it. and if you like it, try out 'Dog Days'/'you got the love'/'flakes'/'galaxy of the lost' Hope anyone who checks out the thread likes the song.

She is good. They have been doing pretty well over here in Ireland, I think they even won a meteor award. They do need more recognition in the rest of the UK though.

I love Florence!! Amazing voice. I think they have recognition though, like the BBC LOVE HER! and she won a Brit and radio 1 constantly mention her. Her cover with glasvegas at the NME awards is AMAZING! I don't really like glasvegas, but the chemistry is insane. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIa0TiSoGnU&feature=related

anyone get the new single then? the remixes are pretty good too, but blasting the original full volume is much more fun
didn't really like that cover of suspicious minds with glasvegas her "you've got the love" cover is such a good cover tho

Think it came out in shops on the monday though. Currently listening to my favourite of all her songs, 'cosmic love' on youtube. CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM so I dont have to youtube 'cosmic love' and 'howl' all the time. Iv heard a bit of 'drumming' as well which sounds fucking amazing to be honest. But back to the single...I love jamie Ts remix. Oh and also...anyone hear on radio1s livelounge today? Her cover of beyonces Halo was in-cred-i-ble.

I am really starting to love her music. She gave an amazing show to remember. So many people showed up to see her that they couldnt fit in the tent. She could barely hear herself speak over the roar of fans. She was totally not expecting anything like it. She left the stage in tears after an amazing performance and was so grateful for the response she got. Aparently it was a performance that will never be forgotten.

'Girl With One Eye' is amazing and so is 'Drumming Song' Im a bit sick of girl with one eye cos I downloaded that about a year or so ago but I agree, Drumming Song is just amazing!!!! I remember she did a special version of Girl with one eye for last christmas that was cool...'All I want for Christmas is a girl with one eye'. lol.

Thats ao not fair that Itunes have bonus tracks I dont have an Ipod. But I am with you on the hard copy. I have my money ready and I am off to Tesco first thing tomorrow morning to buy the album for £9.99. *Goes off to see if the bonus tracks were uploaded to YouTube*

I assume it was a itune extra track as the track listing on florences myspace and amazons track list of the album dont have 'swimming' on.
The deluxe edition of the album has a few extra, like falling/hardest of hearts/ percussion version of girl with one eye (which is awesome)/ bird song/ bird song intro/ and a couple of demos.
So Id definitely suggest you buy the deluxe version of the album for a few extra quid than the normal 9.99 version.
