FLORENCE + THE MACHINE, "You've Got The Love"

[(Artie Ziff)]

8th overall single from Lungs, and the third going for Alternative adds from Billboard.biz. Have not heard, but if it's anything as eclectic as Dog Days Are Over, they should start getting regular airplay anywhere Modern.

[Gravity.]

Not the right choice. Should have gone with "Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)."

This was the first single in the UK, I believe.

The first single over here was Kiss With A Fist. You've Got The Love was the 5th.

[(Artie Ziff)]

Over where? Kiss With A Fist was the first single here, also, right? I swear there was a topic here about that.

[Devin]

^ Yep it was Artie. I think we discussed this somewhere else...

[(Artie Ziff)]

Adds date pushed to next week.

This should be released to Pop, not Alternative.

I think it's edgy enough for Alternative - same deal as Rolling In The Deep anyway IMO

I'm sure this is gonna go to pop also - maybe months from now though

I actually like this and this band but OK enough already they need to let this album die, and do they remind anyone else of Rilo Kiley?

She's working on a new album.

Not particularly, no.

This is only the third single released in the US. I don't see why the album should die here just because it's finished in the UK. It would be one thing if Florence had another album ready to go. I did hear on Fuse the other day that she's working on new material.

I still wish that "Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)" had been released instead. It's more radio ready than this song.

[Sir Benji]

I know but 8 singles (even though they were split between 2 territories) still seems like a lot. The album came out nearly 2 years ago in the U.S., I wonder if this will be the last single.

[Ron57]

This band actually reminds me of Ida Maria and Bjork, honestly.

[(Artie Ziff)]

With the new Evanescence single due this summer, and Meg White's eventual solo debut we might have more female Alternative that we bargained for.
