Florence + The Machine’s music has received praise across the British music media, especially from the BBC, who played a large part in their rise to prominence, by bringing them into the spotlight as part of BBC Introducing. Musically, Florence + The Machine’s sound is sometimes referred to as soul-inspired indie rock. She grew up listening to The White Stripes and Kate Bush and says she writes: metaphorical songs that are “stories with consequences and weird morality issues.”





Florence + The Machine is a London, UK, art pop band led by singer-songwriter Florence Welch and formed in 2007.
