Second Florence album to have more chemistry

The Oxegen-bound singer says her new record is inspired by 'crystals'. We have to profess to being a bit concerned!

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 28 Apr 2010

Flame haired Florence Welch has revealed that the follow up to her mega-selling debut album Lungs will "move away from gothic horror toward something that's slightly more chemical."

The star, who is set to play the Oxegen festival this summer, also denied rumours that this album would be a concept album saying: "Everyone thinks I'm going to do an album about the periodic table - which I'm not."

Whatever the inspiration behind the new album, we in Hot Press can only hope it contains the same standard of killer songs as its predecessor.

At the end of a victory lap of just about every major music industry awards show going, Hot Press manages to buttonhole the Oxegen-bound Florence Welch backstage at the Meteors. Tired but jubilant, the Amazonian belle of the ball spills the beans on collaborations with Dizzee Rascal and David Byrne, her adoration of Courtney Love and My Bloody Valentine, and reveals that all she ever wanted was to appear in an Andrew Lloyd-Webber production.

Florence Welch’s mic stand is wreathed in a posy of flowers; beside her, her trusty snare, which will get a good battering later. Dressed in a flowing black dress, she bares impossibly white feet and a shock of copper hair. She’s been on stage for a few minutes now but there are still intermittent wild squeals from the depths of the crowd - cheers I haven’t heard for artists two decades in the biz, never mind kids barely two decades on the planet.
