Bio:
To round off yet another exceptional year, Florence will be releasing the mighty single ‘Heavy In Your Arms’ on November 15th. Produced by Paul Epworth ... (more)
the track a favourite of recent festival headlining live sets was recorded for the Twilight Eclipse film.
Florence comments “’Heavy In Your Arms’ I suppose is about the weight of love, and how sometimes it can be a burden between two people. I felt this was a strong theme in the Twilight series – is someone being rescued or are they being condemned, and is the love you carry bringing you down? I recorded it with Paul one evening, using a lot of strange reversed vocal samples and big hip hop piano. It’s basically inspired by 90's hip hop, and gospel choirs, like most of my songs.”
‘Heavy In your Arms’ will also be available on Between Two Lungs, a two disc special edition version of her 4 x platinum selling Brit Award winning debut album Lungs.
Between Two Lungs will feature new cover art, sleeve notes by Florence and exclusive images. Plus a 10 track second disc which as well as ‘Heavy In Your Arms’, also includes amongst others, a live recording of brand new song ‘Strangeness & Charm’. The massive collaboration with Dizzee Rascal ‘You Got The Dirtee Love’ and a previously unreleased Yeasayer remix of ‘Dog Days Are Over’ will also be available on November 15.
Florence recently wowed worldwide audiences with her live performance (and victory) at this year’s MTV VMA Awards which saw her album explode in the U.S., firing up to #2 in the iTunes chart and breaking the top #15 in the Billboard album chart. Exciting times ahead there! Back home Florence has been nominated for two Q Awards, including Best Female and Best Song.
