Dance Fever [VINYL]

Product Information

Her past EDM collaborations sparkled—none more than the Calvin Harris-produced “ Sweet Nothing”—but “My Love” is too stilted to open up a dancefloor. It’s the album that brings back the very best of Florence – the festival headlining Boudicca, wielding anthems like a flaming sword. The single, titled " King" was digitally released on 23 February 2022 along with its accompanying music video. The track chugs along over subdued percussion before it swells into classic, titanic Welch, belting over harp. Dance Fever' is an album that sees Florence at the peak of her powers, coming into a fully realised self-knowledge, poking sly fun at her own self-created persona, playing with ideas of identity, masculine and feminine, redemptive, celebratory, stepping fully into her place in the iconic pantheon.
