Performing their emotional new single, “My Love,” Florence and the Machine appeared on The Tonight Show.
Complete with an Art Deco-inspired backdrop, a back-up singer and a harpist, Florence Welch and her bandmates gave the performance a vintage flair.
In addition to her song, the legendary UK chanteuse joined host Jimmy Fallon for a segment based on audience suggestions including one to finish singing Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville,” (which was cut off during a previous show). Addressing the situation, the host said “We found someone great to finish singing it,” as he welcomed Florence to the stage to perform the iconic tune along with himself and Buffett.
Produced by Welch, Jack Antonoff, and Dave Bayley of Glass Animals, Florence and the Machine’s fifth LP, Dance Fever, arrives this week. Recorded in London during the pandemic, the songs reflect what Welch “missed most during lockdown — clubs, dancing at festivals, being in the whirl of movement, and togetherness,” And taking to Instagram, the singer described the album as “a fairytale in 14 songs.”
