Florence Welch

Florence Welch is one of the few contemporary artists whose voice genuinely unsettles me, in the best way. As the force behind Florence and the Machine, she channels something theatrical and almost mythic, and her debut Lungs topping the UK charts announced a singular vision rather than a trend-chaser. Her training at the University of the Arts London shows in how visually and poetically she constructs her songs. What I admire most is her refusal to dilute herself across album after album; she writes like the poet she is, and that uncompromising commitment to her own otherworldly aesthetic is exactly why her music endures.
