Florence + the Machine debut “Mermaids,” Dance Fever (Complete Edition) out today

April 21, 2023—Florence + the Machine unveil a new track, “Mermaids,” today alongside the Complete Edition of Dance Fever, a deluxe packaging of the band’s much-lauded 2022 album featuring “Mermaids” and poem versions of several songs from the LP. “Mermaids” was written and produced alongside album collaborator Dave Bayley of Glass Animals during the original Dance Fever sessions—listen here.

Furthermore, Florence is on tour across Europe this summer including headline shows and festivals in Milan, Athens, Budapest, Paris, Lisbon and more. See below for full routing.

Dance Fever, released last spring, was one of the most celebrated releases of 2022. The album was named to Best Of lists from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Esquire, Consequence, NYLON, Billboard, Paste and a host of others.

The album hit #1 in the U.K. and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts and #7 on the Billboard 200—her fourth consecutive album in the top ten. Since its release, Florence has played sold out arenas across North America and will play a run of U.K. dates in early 2023.

Praise for Dance Fever:

“Dance Fever is a collection of haunting rock songs that are frothing for release.”—The New York Times

“Over the past decade, Welch has become one of the most assured live performers in music. Her sets feel religious, filled with pop anthems that sound as imposing as age-old hymns, which she sings with her equally imposing voice while sprinting across the stage. That makes Dance Fever an apt name for her new album; that’s what her music, at its best, inspires to do.”—Vulture

“In an age that favors—often demands—the constant reinvention of its pop stars, there is a reassuring familiarity to Florence Welch…This wry, gently self-mocking sense of humor runs through Dance Fever, which sees Welch return to the euphoric, stadium-sized anthems that defined her earlier career.”—Vogue

“On the band’s fifth album, she’s still chasing her own heroically errant muse down whichever mossy, forked path it might take her…Dance Fever may be Welch’s most ecstatically extra work yet…No matter what raw deal the world gives her, this is not an artist who will be settling for less.”—Rolling Stone

“Florence Welch’s pandemic album turns her intensity inward, interrogating her relationship to performance and public image. These are her most personal lyrics, and among her most poignant.”—Pitchfork

“She’s long-exhumed the depths of her emotions through the power of booming, bewitching vocals and life-affirming choreography. And that’s no different on Dance Fever, an explosive expression of unity in the face of strife and an exuberant expression of hope.”—Consequence

“…some of the most captivating [songs] Florence The Machine have made in years, and exist as a hellish rebuke against stillness.”—Paste
