There is no doubt that 2023 is having one of the best soundtracks in history. And it is not for less, since several bands and artists that we love have released songs and even impressive albums this year. However, we also have expected returns, such as that of Florence + The Machine, who shows us the dark side of society in the video for “Mermaids”.
As you will remember, in 2022 and after almost three years without publishing anything new, Florence Welch and company returned with their most recent record material, Dance Fever. Since then, Florence + The Machine moved away from the spotlight, although their hand was low, they were planning everything to return through the front door and present unpublished rolitas.

However, after giving us several clues on their social networks and even sharing the cover, This April 21 the band presents us with a song called “Mermaids”which will undoubtedly blow their minds.
So you will have an idea, this song is part of the Complete Edition of the most recent album by Florence + The Machine, where we have some unpublished tracks and rarities. Among them is said song, which definitely perfectly captures the same musical essence of the latest full-length work.
