I am a huge fan of Florence Welch. The girl can flat out sing. I'm sure most of you are familiar with her recent success, particularly the hit
Dog Days, which was all over the place last year. Well, if you have grown a bit weary of everyone overplaying that song but really enjoyed the greatness that is Florence + the Machine, I highly recommend checking out her album "Lungs: The B-sides". Most of these tracks haven't hit radio, despite showcasing Welch's powerhouse of a voice. My personal favorite is the cover she does of the Cold War Kids song
Hospital Beds. While imitation is the highest form of flattery (Welch has adamantly expressed her love for Cold War Kids, and performed this song at Coachella last year with lead singer Nathan Willett), she makes the song her own with a unique and powerful interpretation.
