Florence + the Machine unveils new single, “Free,” with a video starring acclaimed actor Bill Nighy as Florence’s anxiety and directed by Autumn de Wilde. “Free” is the latest from Florence’s forthcoming fifth LP Dance Fever, out May 13.
Dance Fever was recorded in London over the course of the pandemic in anticipation of the world’s reopening. It conjures up what Florence missed most in the midst of lockdown—clubs, dancing at festivals, being in the whirl of movement and togetherness—and the hope of reunions to come.
Dance Fever was produced by Florence, Jack Antonoff, and Dave Bayley of Glass Animals. Florence has shared three songs from Dance Fever thus far—“My Love” (plus remixes from co-producer Dave Bayley of Glass Animals and Meduza), “King” and “Heaven is Here.”
