Florence + The Machine: The Witch Returns

Florence + The Machine is back with Everybody Scream the first single from their upcoming album, Everybody Scream, set for release this Halloween. In this video, I dive into the song’s gothic sound, its themes of witchcraft and ritual, and how Florence continues to reclaim mystical imagery in her music.From Stevie Nicks to Kate Bush, from Irish folklore the witch has always been a powerful figure in music a symbol of independence, transformation, and rebellion. Florence now carries that tradition forward, turning performance into ritual and music into magic.
