This Is Only the Beginning

Listen to the ethereal echo, her goddess’ call. A song so beautiful it’s as if it was created from the heavens above. Listen as the strings tremble and the trumpets sound.
Watch as a soul divided dances in rhythm and breathes in rhyme. Watch as we leave one life behind to walk toward a new era, a new fantastical odyssey.

The video for Florence + The Machine’s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful is truly amazing and deeply inspiring, a bona fide artistic vision. It gives me chills. Chills, I tell you! It’s beyond anything we could have hoped for or imagined, beyond any of our expectations. It’s…not the full video.

Well, truthfully, we don’t really know if it is or if it isn’t. Nothing has been officially announced; no album title, no release date, no track listing. Although, the length of the video suggests it is simply a short teaser to satisfy our cravings. All we know for certain is the first single off the album – which is titled What Kind of Man – will be broadcasted to all on Thursday. Thurs-day; only two days away (Just let that sink in for a moment).

Fans have theorized that this is actually a small glimpse into a much more elaborate feature, since several insiders have claimed that Florence will be releasing a short film of sorts for the new album. In any case, PLEASE DEAR GOD LET THIS BE TRUE.

Rest assured, any news will be imminent.

In the meantime, know that there will be a lot more Florence posts in your future. Yay!

What did you think of the teaser for Florence + The Machine‘s new album? How many times have you watched the video? Listened to the music? How do you think this album will compare to the others? Tell me in the comments!
