New Music: One Of The Greats

           

Florence + the Machine released the single "One Of The Greats," a new song from Florence Welch’s forthcoming LP Everybody Scream, which is set for release on October 31.  Welch describes the song as a "long poem about the cost of greatness," a rumination on why she continues to pursue perfection despite past criticism and the personal toll of her creative process. The song was written in a single take with Mark Bowen of IDLES, with Welch singing the lyrics as he played guitar. The final version was elevated with the help of Aaron Dessner. "One Of The Greats" follows the album’s title track,  "Everybody Scream,". The video was directed again by Autumm De Wilde
