Her powerful vocals have guided Florence + the Machine to phenomenal success, and as the band prepare to perform in New Zealand, Florence Welch has opened up about the future of her music.

As the way fans keep up to date with artists evolves, Welch revealed changing times come with new opportunities.

"Things are more fast-paced and for better or worse, that is kind of how streaming is but it does allow you a certain element of freedom in that way because if you have a song you like, it's like we'll just put it out," she said.

"No one cares if it comes really near a record anymore because there is no such thing as near a record anymore."

Welch explained she would like to incorporate more electronics into future music and is celebrating sharing her talents with fans on her current tour."

"I really actually love dance music and electronic music. I don't know if I would make a dance record, but I'm getting interested in old synth sounds."

At each show, the starlet revealed that she sees fans with their "hearts on the floor".

"It's a really beautiful thing so in that sense I'm looking forward to keeping playing this year. I think maybe with this record, 'cause I made myself more vulnerable, I think people feel freer to be more vulnerable themselves as well.

"I think it's all about connecting with people and encouraging people to come together with love. It feels really special. I mean it seems like small things, but when you can see a couple of thousand people all turn and hug a stranger and tell them that they love them."
