As you know, I planned to write about Florence as much as I could, where I could until she got signed. Well, as you all know- SHE HAS BEEN SIGNED!!!! Of course it’s nothing to do with me, and just because she has been signed does not mean I’ll stop writing about this talented young woman. Oh no.

The other morning I woke to read that she had won Brit Awards Critics Choice Award 2009. I was so happy, it made my week.  I can’t think of any other person worthy of that award right now. If she performs at the Brits (I think she is) I am 100000000000000000 % sure she will blow everyone away with her energy and voice.

The album’s out next year and I’m positive it’ll be one of, if not THE best album of 2009!

I’ve decided I will keep writing about Florence until she is signed because her music is beautiful.

Right, so you’ve heard A Kiss With A Fist playing in the advert for 4 Music? Good. And you probably think the song is about domestic violence? You’re wrong. It’s not! She even said so herself (check out her MySpace blog)

Her voice sends chills down my spin and makes me smile. Her lyrics send me to some place beautiful and her music just leaves me in awe. How can someone so bloody talented not be signed? She’s been compared to Kate Nash but I fail to see any resemblence. I do like Kate Nash but I love Florence.

Her MySpace has a list of tour dates that are coming up soon. Please go see her, but don’t tell me how amazing she is. Although she’s not playing anywhere near me, I know it’ll be an amazing experience that you just cannot put into words. Her voice is so so powerful and clear. You can pick up on the emotions as her voice echoes out of your speakers and into your ears. Don’t do ANYTHING when you listen to her. Give Florence all your attention. Even if you just listen to her cover of Cold War Kids’ Hospital Beds or Girl With 1 Eye.

If she isn’t signed by the start of next year then I’ll give up on listening to music…okay, I won’t go that far but I’ll be seriously pissed off!

Besides, Kid Harpoon is helping her out with her album. When it coems out- it’ll be the album of the year!

Enjoy!

Girl With One Eye(LIVE)

Girl With 1 Eye was one of the best songs to have been sang by a beautiful unsigned artist, Florence And The Machine. A cover by a band called The Ludes.

On her Myspace there are now more additions to her wonderful,growing collection of songs. Yes, she will be compared to a certain Kate Nash but realistically- she sounds NOTHING like her at all. Her lyrics are deeper and it doesn’t feel like she is reading a diary entry to you (Kate is the only one to actually do this well)

Florence is good mates with Dev Hynes (Lightspeed Champion) and on YouTube there’s a lovely clip of them singing together.

Anyway, Florence is supporting MGMT on their UK tour next month- I suppose that’s a reason to go!

She deserves to be signed, and hopefully within the next few months she will be 🙂
