Prediction: Florence Welch to be the next Sarah McLachlan
I adore Sarah McLachlan. I think most of her work is exquisite and has pushed the bar pretty high. From her studio albums to the remixes, it’s all hard to dismiss. In the early-to-mid 2000’s especially, the remixes really stood out and transcended her to yet another musical level (granted with the help of talented DJ’s & producers). Sarah is still great all these years later, including her recent work.
I’ve just downloaded the Florence and the Machine’s album Lungs and I must say it is fantastic so far. One thing did resonate with me from Florence Welch’s voice - character. She has a unique tone and attitude that dances between anger and ecstasy.
One song in particular caught my ear and made me think “Whoa. Florence could be the next Sarah McLachlan”. That song is Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up). She might not end up being the next Sarah but she sure has the potential to get there and I’m excited to see and hear what other work Florence is creating.
Below is the song mentioned for your viewing and listening pleasure!
