She argues with a lover about the endpoints of her ambition, whether art is useless, if she can build a version of motherhood that would mesh into her own mythology. It conjures up what Florence missed most in the midst of lockdown—clubs, dancing at festivals, being in the whirl of movement and togetherness—and the hope of reunions to come.

On 21 February 2022, fans of the band received a medieval-styled card in the mail that featured a photo of Florence Welch dressed in period clothing. Holed up at home, the songs began to transform, with nods to dance, folk, ‘70s Iggy Pop, longing-for-the-road folk tracks a la Lucinda Williams or Emmylou Harris and more. Florence + the Machine shares details of her 5th studio album Dance Fever set for release on May 13th via Polydor Records. The imagery resonated with Florence, who had been touring nonstop for more than a decade, and in lockdown felt oddly prescient.That same day, digital billboards began popping up around London that featured the same picture of Welch that was printed on the card. I think my role was to make sure that, even if the record was torn between the two, there was still a sound that tie everything together. On Dance Fever, Welch stays trapped indoors, sobbing into bowls of cereal at midnight, trying to comfort herself with the crumbs of her own image.

SEALED - Florence missed most in the midst of lockdown -clubs, dancing at festivals, being in the whirl of movement and togetherness -and the hope of reunions to come. Dance Fever was recorded predominately in London over the course of the pandemic in anticipation of the world’s reopening. Welch stamps these stark admissions throughout the album, little lacerations tucked into the bass and trumpets.Florence stated in an April 2022 interview with Vogue, “I had this drive underneath me and I was like if these songs want to get out, I have to get them out fast, because I do have other desires…” as motherhood. But there’s a moment when the cello slows to a sputter and the frenetic drums ease up, and she seems to think out loud. She conceived her fifth album, Dance Fever, as a “‘be careful for what you wish for’ fable,” she told the New York Times; as she read more about the dancing that spread like sickness, she thought about what it would be like to give up performing altogether. Music videos for both songs were shot in Kyiv shortly before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
