Dance Fever is out on May 13th About the album: ''What she will say is that she now realises “you don’t have to date bad people to make good songs.” Indeed, she no longer has “the energy to be in a huge amount of emotional distress and make work”. Album's Artwork: The photographer and director Autumn de Wilde, responsible for the album’s artwork and Welch’s new music videos, was instrumental in creating Florence’s new liberated world. “She is an electric genius,” de Wilde says of Welch. The opening track is called The King: ''It is the push and pull of these “other desires” – namely motherhood and the impact child-bearing can have on a career, a body, a mind – that “King”, the album’s opening track, explores so affectingly. You can already hear its refrain, “I am no mother/I am no bride/I am king”, being bellowed by thousands of women on this summer’s festival circuit. “The whole crux of the song is that you’re torn between the two,” she says. “The thing I’ve always been sure of is my work, but I do start to feel this shifting of priorities, this sense of like,” she drops to a whisper– “maybe I want something different.” There is some unreleased material she discusses: ''There was a song that didn’t quite make it to the album,” she writes, “that contained the line ‘the creep of domesticity it both horrifies and calls to me’. Even with all my logic that my life is in so many ways probably not suited for children, it is creeping up on me despite myself. Haunting me almost.” For now though, she is still Florence, still king.''
