The first studio album from London's Florence + the Machine, 'Lungs,' was first released in 2009. It's a bold debut that blends rock, soul, and baroque pop. Florence Welch's vocals are truly amazing. On hit singles like 'Dog Days Are Over,' 'You've Got The Love,' and others, her singing is raw, full of emotion, and easy to connect with. The rich, string - filled music perfectly matches her voice and unique melodies. Influences from Joanna Newsom, Kate Bush, and Fiona Apple can be heard. This 10 - year anniversary version comes on burgundy colored vinyl, with a gatefold sleeve and a printed inner sleeve. Music label: Island Records 2009. Reviewed by Thom Tanks in 07/2017.
