Watch & Listen: Handclaps And Harps!

Filed under: Anglophilia > Listen To This > Florence and The Machine

Florence & The Machine are extremely popular in the UK, but in America - sadly - they are not as well known.

If you're unfamiliar with Florence's music, her stellar song Dog Days Are Over is a perfect introduction to her sound.

And, the tune's just-released video (above) is her best to date!

Ch-ch-ch-check it out.

Love it! Love her!

Love Ellen DeGeneres? Love Portia?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IT TAKES ONE SECOND TO DO!

Hey guys!!! Will you please Google " Save Better off Ted" and it should be the second or so link down at " go petition" and you don't have to register to sign it. It stars Ellen D's wifey Portia de Rossi. It's a great show, it just didn't get a good time slot, or good promotion. Thanks so much!!!!!

Cosmic love is the only song i like by her so far. She seems a bit overrated.

ok i've been a fan from the start but this is a mistake… the outfits and concept are amazing as is the song but the original video was better and she's re-released this about teice now.
She shoulda just made a vid for a new single like "Howl" or something, still love her though and her album is amazing so check her out and check out "Bat For Lashes" too she's equally if not more amazing

p.s follow me on t w i t t e r my names FUTURESTARdelux thanks ^_^

I think she's popular here with the hipster crowd, I think once she goes on the festival circuit, she'll gain a massive fanbase. Kudos on reintroducing her

Absolutely adore Florence!!
Definately deserved to win Best Btish Album 2009 at the Brits!!
Her album is brilliant!!

I can't believe you would even know this person, Perez. LUNGS has been my favorite album for the last couple of months now, but this song is not one of my favorites of hers. I don't hate it, but I don't love it like I do a lot of the rest of the songs on the album. Sadly this album hasn't done well in the US. If you like people like Kate Bush, Siouxsie and The Banshees, early Sinead O'Connor, Annie Lennox, PJ Harvery, Bjork, Toni Childs, etc, than you would love this.

Lungs is a phenomenal album, however it took a while to get into it. I have to say the best songs on the album (in my opinion) are Howl and Blinding. Check them out.

Re: Mayapapaya1 –

She? Last time I heard, they're a band.

Beyonce SHINES At Revel! WERKS Single Ladies & Halo! Watch!!

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
