Florence + The Machine - Everybody Scream Review
Born out of a potentially fatal health scare, Florence Welch’s sixth album Everybody Scream offers catharsis and evolution.
In 2022, Florence Welch’s Dance Fever tour was derailed when she suffered a potentially fatal health scare. Since then, she’s recovered and made appearances on Taylor Swift’s Florida!!! and The Weeknd’s Reflections Laughing.
Everybody Scream is a collaboration with Idles guitarist Mark Bowen, and it marks both a re-statement of what made Florence so beguiling and a gentle step forwards.
Medical worries are referenced in songs like Kraken, where Florence sings
sometimes my body seems so alien to me. Other tracks, such as You Can Have It All and the title track, evoke the spirit of her debut album Lungs.
More experimental tracks, including One Of The Greats, Witch Dance, and Buckle, showcase an artist broadening her horizons.
