Today, Florence Welch – also known as Florence + The Machine – releases new song ‘Sympathy Magic’ ahead of her forthcoming new album Everybody Scream, set for release on October 31st. After unveiling the song for the first time on the The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she brings it to life with a video directed by longtime collaborator Autumn De Wilde.
The song, written and produced with Danny L. Harle and Aaron Dessner, is the final taster of Florence + The Machine’s sixth album out this Friday. It joins the hellraising title track and ‘One of the Greats’, both released to widespread critical acclaim. Everybody Scream was written and produced by Florence Welch over the past two years with a close-knit circle of collaborators including Mark Bowen of IDLES, Aaron Dessner and Mitski.
She will be bringing the magic to life across major strongholds including two nights at London’s O2 Arena, the Accord Arena in Paris and the Tauron Arena in Krakow. Florence will be joined by Paris Paloma who will be opening the shows across the eighteen dates for the Everybody Scream tour.
After needing lifesaving surgery on the Dance Fever tour, Florence’s recovery took her down the path of spiritual mysticism, witchcraft and folk horror as she felt the limits of her body and explored what it means to be “healed.” The album treads through womanhood, partnership, aging and dying, exposing the murky in the mundane.
Across five albums—2009’s Lungs, 2011’s Ceremonials, 2015’s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, 2018’s High As Hope and 2022’s Dance Fever—Florence has become one of the most monumental artists of a generation, with multiple U.S. and U.K. #1 albums and countless awards. Known for her earth-shattering live show and singular, iconic voice, Florence has sold out shows and headlined festivals the entire world over. She has collaborated and shared stages with icons—The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift among them—and published a book of lyrics, poetry and drawings, Useless Magic.
