Florence + The Machine - Ceremonials

[Ramz]

New single from Florence + The Machine



Can see this growing on me a lot over the next days. Got that typical Florence sound which I just love!

And it's out to buy now! Let's see how the on air/on sale treats her.

[yeahyeahtron]

I'm sure it's going to be massive... Expectations are high but for me it's the first time in a VERY VERY long time where I can say that the song defies all the hype surrounding it... If it won't be massive then something must be wrong with the public... It's the best piece of music I heard this year!!! MINDBLOWING stuff!

[ManicKangaroo]

I didn't like her material before and this doesn't do anything to change my opinion

[evansabove]

Nope didn't like that on first listen. Doesn't really go anywhere and too long. It needs a radio edit

[raliverpool]

I thought their/her debut album was grossly overrated by the critics, especially her cover of You Got The Love (I still think Marina & The Diamonds debut album is far superior) .... but that is the most blatantly immediate "it's gonna be massive" track I've heard on first play, since Adele performed "Someone Like You" on Later with Jools Holland last November.

On that evidence they've reigned in the quirkiness of the debut and gone for a Bats For Lashes landing on planet Adele sound so shift serious units.

[yeahyeahtron]

Well it goes everywhere for me and definitely DOESN'T need a radio edit... the song is very dramatic and if you remove a single part it would leave a negative effect on it's built...

[Smurfie]

I actually quite like this, I find it's nicely atmospheric and builds up well. Not as good as Drumming Song, but considerably better than You Got The Love and Dog Days Are Over which I found borderline unlistenable and overplayed.

[vya]

I quite like it - definitely a grower. Yeah, not as good as Drumming Song (but what is?), and I also prefer Marina & The Diamonds to F&TM overall.... but , still, this bodes well for the new album. Atmospheric and well-crafted.

[darkstar79]

I wasn't a big fan of her previous material but this one is an excellent tune.

[Jordan]

I love that this one is more guitar heavy than anything on her last album. Hopefully it'll make the two records stand apart.

[Earl Purple]

The only one I've really liked by them was A Kiss With a Fist.

[o]

Loving it, really growing on me, deserves Top 10, but when does good music do well?

[Ramz]

Such a grower! Everytime I hear this I love it more.

Definitely one of her better videos imo. Really enjoyed it!

[S1m]

Listening to the album now. Downloaded it for £3.99 from Amazon. Bargain!

[Jordan]

Brilliant new video for 'No Light, No Light'. Sparking a bit of controversy though... some people saying it's racist and complaining about Illuminati imagery Some people should just decline their freedom of speech.
