'What The Water Gave Me' - Florence & The Machine's New SIngle (VIDEO)

Florence and the Machine‘s second album is set to drop in November, and here is the first track called “What the Water Gave Me“. It's available now via her website and iTunes.

It’s a song for the water… Because in music and art what I’m really interested in are the things that are overwhelming. The ocean seems to me to be nature’s great overwhelmer. When I was writing this song I was thinking a lot about all those people who’ve lost their lives in vain attempts to save their loved ones from drowning. It’s about water in all forms and all bodies. It’s about a lot of things; Virginia Woolf creeps into it, and of course Frieda Kahlo, whose painfully beautiful painting gave me the title.

The song is exciting & intense and something of a new direction -- here's to hoping there's more of this on the new album.
