In the latest album from Florence + The Machine, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, the fierce singer continues to share herself in her music. How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful is the group’s first album since 2011.
The album’s energy continues what music junkies love about Florence + The Machine. She recalls memorable times and sad moments all the while keeping true to herself.
In the first song, “Ship to Wreck,” Florence sings about a recent break up. She wonders aloud about where she went wrong and what she did. Even though this song has a particularly sad theme, the overall beat is quite fun and might even get listeners to dance.
“Delilah,” on the other hand, starts off slow and builds throughout. The beginning of the song talks about being in danger, making the song feel sinister and creepy, but in the best possible way.
Immediately following “Delilah” is the sad “Long & Lost.”  The song recalls feeling depressed and alone. Most listeners will be able to relate to the feeling of loneliness, being unsure, or misunderstood, making this one of the stronger songs on the album.
If music fans want to find a new take on true storytelling, buy Florence + The Machine’s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.
