Florence Welch is Scared to Bare Her Soul
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Pop, Rock
Florence Welch is scared about baring her soul on her albums. The Florence + the Machine singer admits her British upbringing makes it hard for her to write about her feelings in her songs.
"Like a lot of British people, I prefer sarcasm and irreverence. Wearing my heart on my sleeve - very frightening."
Florence admires songwriters who are honest in their lyrics or put messages into their songs, but it is something she finds difficult to do when creating her own tracks. However, she did include two songs on her acclaimed LP Ceremonials which have positive messages for her fans: "For someone so conflicted, who am I to give advice to anybody? It's such a funny, grandiose idea. I was thinking about positive messages on the record because I knew there would be kids listening. Like putting something in there that wasn't just for me, like "Heartlines" and "Spectrum," they're really earnest, saying don't be afraid of who you are and follow your heart."

It looks like Drake will be working with Florence + the Machine in the future.
The "Forever" rapper was joined onstage by flamed haired singer Florence Welch when he played in London on Saturday night, fueling rumors of a collaboration.
Florence -- who is presently writing her second album -- had gone to the rapper's show the previous evening as a fan. That is when Drake reportedly approached the singer about a duet.
The pair originally met each other at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles last year and have stayed in contact since.
When Welch performed with Drake, Florence sang the part recorded by Alicia Keys in the track "Fireworks," from Drake's debut album Thank Me Later. (See video above.)

Florence Welch’s Eclectic Concert Style
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Alternative
Florence Welch loves dressing in outlandish outfits when she is performing, and cites one leotard she donned for a festival performance as her favorite.
“My most outrageous stage outfit was a cabaret theme with big glittery pants, a tuxedo and a bow-tie. For a festival once I wore a lime-green catsuit with a slit down to my naval. I looked like a sort of deranged superhero version of Peter Pan. I’d been on tour with MGMT, and me and Andrew VanWyngarden kept swapping outfits. He gave it to me to wear,” the Florence + the Machine star said.
