As florencemachine releases her album 'Dance Fever,' she talks to RollingStoneUK about relationships, avoiding fame, and managing anxiety. Read the cover story:
, “A fairy tale in 14 songs.” With regal artwork and vast, glimmering tracks topped with formidable vocals that seem to narrate on monsters and kings, it’s a descriptor that takes us back to the early days of Florence. But this is a collection that speaks to all manner of anxieties, from shared experiences such as ageing, womanhood, the fragility of the planet and the pandemic to more intimate musings on her career, relationships, loneliness; simply existing.
There is something especially meaningful about the dance floor being a healing space. In February 2020, Florence was in New York City, recording with renowned producer, songwriter and artist in his own right, At times, Florence can be quite fatalistic — as explored on album track ‘Cassandra’, she says that part of her felt like the pandemic was her being punished for any prescience in her work, and for wanting to rest for a while.
Florence had been anxious since childhood, but her self-doubt and fear was exacerbated by that late-00s era when her face was suddenly everywhere, and she was being scrutinised for how she looked. She started to measure her worth by her weighing scale, caking herself in make-up and fancy clothes, hoping she would fit into this bewitching new world of red carpets. That period still hangs over her creative decisions. “When I first put music out, my life completely upturned,” she says.
The daughter of Nick and Evelyn Welch , Florence was one of three siblings. Her parents were relatively lax, and her relationship with them and general upbringing is something she drily wonders about.
