MUMBAI: Following on from the full-force anthem of uplifting defiance that was ‘What Kind of Man’, the second single to be taken from the forthcoming new album is the future Florence classic ‘Ship To Wreck’. The track premiered as Annie Macs Hottest Record in the World last night.
On the track Florence explains, “I was thinking about my own self destructive side, and how you can make something only to tear it down, enjoy/destroy, create/devastate etc. When you’re in that whirlwind, you often end up breaking the thing you love the most”.
The video for Ship to Wreck airs next week and is uniquely set and filmed in Florence’s very own home.

Florence is currently in LA preparing to perform on the main stage at Coachella, right before headliner Drake. A far cry from her warm-up secret show at the 400 capacity London venue The Dome last month.
The new album ‘How Big How Blue How Beautiful’ is a collection of songs, written and recorded over the course of 2014. Produced by Markus Dravs (Björk, Arcade Fire, Coldplay) with contributions from Paul Epworth, Kid Harpoon and John Hill, the third album by Florence + The Machine is live-sounding, tune-rich, unhinged in all the right places and powerful in all the best ways. In voice and, ultimately, outlook Florence has never sounded better.
‘How Big How Blue How Beautiful’ will be released on June 1st on Island Records.
