Fantastic; good to know.

This is going to be a good album; I think it'll have enough progression to feel fresh while still carrying that morbid Flo charm :P

I'm praying for a tour soon after.
Yes i think she will be phenomenal on tour! I hope she does after this album too, perhaps from Spring next year or something? would be fantastic.

And yeah i think it will be a fresh album to show progression and have her own murky macabre beauty behind it too

Shake It Out is just to good, is it going to be the lead single? I'm assuming What the Water gave me was a promo.

yeah What The Water was a promotional single for the album for radios/download.

And Shake It Out is the lead single for Ceremonials. Just hope the video is as epic as the song.

It is just so....yeah! Cant put my finger on it but when it has finished playing i feel so refreshed.

Ooh Digital Spy had a preview of 6 songs from the album and it sounds absolutely amazing!

Just cannot wait to hear it.

YES little-monster

I think it is very INSTANT in sound if that makes sense. The shake it off hook is there and its catchy.

I think it will definitely be a hit in Dog Days scale

I am eager to see how she will do the states. I check the US charts every week and Lungs is still selling in the top 60. Plus the grammy nomination earned her some recognition.

Could she do an Adele/Amy and be as big with album 2? You never know.

that would be a dream.

Back To Black and 21 are magnum albums that only happen once in a while, but if Ceremonials was to happen twice in that same year....especially cross the Autumn and Winter periods in sales Florence is well on her way! And she also definitely deserves the recognition

I agree

Still amazed at the gorgeousness of the front cover of thew album
Just looked on amazon and there is a deluxe edition of the album with a second disc. We get a few songs that didn't make the album and a few album tracks done acoustically.

it is a song that either hits you immediately or you need to let it grow into your head.i almost know it word for word ive played it so much!

Shake It Out was more instant with me however. But both are EPIC

Always loved Florence's videos. Mainly her early ones which were really cheap.

Yeah i cannot wait to see the video for it. Cosmic Love and the original Dog Days Are Over video are my faves! Rabbit Heart is also very dreamlike too and surreal.

Cannot wait for this one

She was great i must add. She has so many elements of Kate Bush in her performances that it's obvious that woman is a huge influence in her. But she does it in a way where it isn't obvious and not like Tribute act to her. I was in awe watching, especially as i have a soft spot for Kate Bush as well.

Kate Bush influences LIFE basically I mean DAMN! Kate is still THE British artist for me!

Flo is so heavily influenced, what i love is both have that UNearthly energy, But Flo is more Folk, Erethral and Macabre....Kate is always descriptive and progressive art and rock!

But Flo is out of all female artists "contemporary" right now THE one for me definitely!

And how can none like Howl???

And Between Two Lungs is amazing agreed, i love the whole album bar Kiss With A FIst really.

Florence is very contemporary and i think Critics with have a sense of relief when she uneveils Album 2 because although she has that good voice, her voice isn't her key market strategy at all. It's her image and the way that transcends into her music.
