Shake It Out . Florence + The Machine
I don’t know. I really don’t know.
First thoughts after one listen:
- They REALLY mixed her voice down. It sounds super polished and studio-like, which I think takes away from Florence’s natural voice.
- Not sure how I feel about how commercial it is; this thing is gonna get massive airplay
- It feels vaguely African-like to me…which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
- It’s also pure pop. Pure, unadulterated pop. With Paul Epworth’s track record, this isn’t surprising.
Okay, that’s reaction one. Gonna go listen to it 8 million times more in my good headphones.
