The enchanting flame haired songstress of indie/pop returns with her second album "ceremonials".
I was a little dubious about the release of this album, mostly because I loved her debut "Lungs" so much and didn't want to be disappointed. I had little to worry about though, as Florence bursts back into the public eye with another fantastic collection of spellbinding songs!

But I must admit, although I absolutely love the album now I was a little nervous after hearing the first song released. "What the Water Gave me" was the first glimpse I got from Ceremonials and I was majorly underwhelmed. Looking back it's (in my opinion) the worst song off of the album and was a poor choice to release as a taster of things to come.
I was completely relieved when I heard "Shake It Out" just a few days later, and could confirm my love for Florence was back! I breathed a further sigh of relief when I bought the album and heard the rest of the songs!

"No Light, No light" & "Spectrum" are cracking tunes and "Never Let Me Go" may be one of the most hauntingly beautiful love songs I've ever heard.
Do I like this album more than her first? No, but it's certainly not a let down, considering her first album was so amazing! It was a hard one to follow and I think she's done a fantastic job.

It's the perfect follow up to "Lungs" and Queen Florence of Machines continues her reign.
