Vocal Coach reacts to Florence and The Machine - King

[@Ameslan1]

I think the great thing about Florence is that when she is interviewed on a talk show she is SO SOFT-SPOKEN and seems shy, but when she sings on stage she becomes POWERFUL with her voice! Like a Yin/Yang- harmony of opposites that works for Florence! Amazing artist!

[@mysticmelody]

This entire album is so masterfully created. She’s amazing.

[@wuharasmuller2397]

Oh yes!

[@martinmillar7137]

Yeah.. an opus i feel..

[@Hiiiiiiiiieeee]

I feel like Florence has REEEAALLLY found amazing ways to tweak and control her voice. She's always been a powerhouse but not she seems in control of that power. Aging can be a wonderful thing when we care for ourselves properly. I feel Taylor Swift has done the same thing. Obviously she has a very different voice to Flo but she's gained a control and an understanding of her voice that really shows her growth.

[@razrv3lc]

This new album was a lot of vocal fry in it. The album is like she said "let's make a trademark Florence album but up the creep factor." Daffodil is the best atmospheric song she's done imo.

[@larkylark1]

Daffodil is amazing. One of my favorite songs on the new album.

[@RisingApe29]

I love daffodil, I've had it in my head since I heard it

[@speedball10169]

They're such an underrated band and she's such an underrated vocalist. Easily one of the greatest and most powerful female vocalists of our time

[@chrisperry4014]

I wish more people I knew listened to her. Feel so alone when I listen and sing along. But it’s okay. She wouldn’t have it any other way.

[@Nimno74]

She has one of the best voices in modern music.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

I cried the first time I heard this at the big vocal part toward the end. Just immediate tears. 🥹

[@heelgrasper]

At some point it would be great if you could react to Florences other new songs. "Heaven is Here" is way to short but so different from mainstream music and has some interesting vocal choises. And "Free" deals with anxiety brilliantly and has one of the best music videos this year so far.

[@63rdwho]

I am loving Florence's new songs and can't wait to receive my copy of her new album. This song, and also "Heaven" and "Free" are all the more poignant at the moment as they were all filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine in November 2021. It's possible that some of the locations may have changed somewhat since the invasion.

[@carlinecamille]

She is my favorite singer, We’ve got the love , she is a vocal God of bridges

[@WhyAreWeAwake]

There's a whole grand cathedral in Florence's voice somehow...

[@millenium_underground3391]

There is something special about this band. I can’t describe but it feels haunting in a positive way.

[@aquemvier]

Her voice is perfection. I'm so sooooo in love.

[@davidgermain]

arg i did not want to buy another album this month. but this is a little too good. 'My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology' what a line!

[@helenyoung41]

Do it, you won’t regret it, one of the occasions where the singles are not the best songs on the album. I thought nothing would stop me listening to Angel in Real-time on repeat, but this did it.

[@kide9747]

Oh yes. We always need more Florence

[@Emilaria]

I can't even explain how excited I am for their new album. Please react to the other 3 videos she's released for this album.

[@hedgehogsonic11]

YES MY GIRL MY KING FLORENCE

[@anima-visual]

Oh my gosh - one of my all time fave songs for sure. Florence has such an amazing hold of the listener, and if you listen to her voice carefully it’s almost as if she channels and embodies five voices at once. Amazing 🖤

[@TheSoraDestiny]

My fav singer, the new album is an experience! So much work on it!

[@GemmaP22]

I'm seeing florence live in november and i can't wait 😍🙌🙌

[@josephsjarvis585]

Never been sure of Flo & the machine but getting there got a wispy voice but very clear & the message in the lyrics gives you shivers

[@patrick86806]

i knew she had power in her singing but that goes beyond what I knew! that clip was brilliant too! you should do more of these! :)

[@jamesgreen7330]

Beth the first time I saw this video and hear how Florence had changed her voice the word that came to my mind was revolutionary by far Florence Welch is my favorite female vocalist

[@martinmillar7137]

This is not just amazing and emotional and powerful..its an absolute masterclass in how to also make a music video that makes sense in terms of the subject matter..its genius it really is.. 😢

Omg can you please please please react to cimorelli singing kills me just the same

[@oscarexcan]

I guess you were suggested to react to this studio version since the album is new, but actually you could react now to a live version of this song, since she just performed it at The Tonight Show from Jimmy Fallon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5O2Z4Ztgt2jm7c

[@NephelleLanate1978]

I love this song and really enjoyed you breaking it down to appreciate her artistry. Thank you!

[@viktoria_w9071]

One of the best songs i ve ever heard! And a soundtrack for many women of our time

[@martinmillar7137]

Feel like for the most part this video is understated yet visually stunning at key parts... i love the video... can also listen on radio and still be swept away tho..i genuinely think king may be her best work... it's a powerful mature example of a singer who's at the peak of their prowess... i love all her music tbh.. king tho i feel is her Picasso moment.. its structured so perfectly.

[@marybuster5349]

Florence is one of the best I love her voice💚💚💚

[@kassandrakid9440]

Also, that "drag me by the hair and go on with the show" line is a reference to the song "Heaven is Here."However, it's also a reference to something that is revealed at the very end of that track. Something very Beautiful and confessional. I think that "Heaven is Here is actually my favorite track on the album because of that one line which is referenced at the end of this song as well. Really interesting connecting a few dots I've wondered about for several years. She is a fantastic lyricist on top of all of her other talents. Blown away by this album. Usually, with albums that are considered to be classics, it is pretty difficult to pick a favorite song. I would say this album has reached that status and I also think that the "no favorite song/all are my favorite song" sentiment rings pretty true in this case.

[@potterpotter8953]

Yes Ive been waiting for this.

[@paulineg20024]

"beautiful singing dementor" xD accurate No but I absoluty LOVE Florence, and that song really made me love her

[@martinmillar7137]

Commented so much on this song cause i can't help it i love it.. woulda done well to just say i feel this song right deep in to my very being..thats how powerful it is.. it's felt.

[@glenobrien894]

I love Beth so much she is Such a sweetheart

[@martinmillar7137]

Watching again... I love this song so much and i love this reaction tae it aswel.. i love the song as is ....but this reaction is sooooo on point. One of my favs.. hence all my comments over the years eesh 😂 ❤ i just find this the most genuine reaction and it makes me happy so sod it 😂

[@martinmillar7137]

I'll comment crap every few weeks ha 😂❤

[@nightwavesz5212]

Now I’ll just be waiting for you to react to the entire album

[@speedball10169]

You def need to do more of their videos/performances

[@martinmillar7137]

That 1 lyric..killer within... is an epic lyric... everyone will have their own interpretation am sure...so won't go deep... i loved that lyric..it made the song for me personally.

[@Evocati2008]

Hi, love your reactions. I don't know if i missed it or not, but I am surprised you haven't reacted to Boyz ii Men. They did so much to bring acapella to the forefront again, and were part of a movement in the R&B, pop culture. A lot of African American vocal groups sprung from this.

[@gracescott9304]

Ooooo I love that you did this song! Shout out to those that requested it. I have loved it since it was released but no one seems to be talking about it. She has always been sorta "meh" to me, like she didn't stand out for me. Then this, wow!

[@otcmetal1591]

Her tone kind of reminds me of Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde. You should definitely check them out if you haven't!

[@seykken]

Omg it's surely similar! i didn't knew Concrete Blonde til now, thanks for the indication

[@RomonicaDiGregory]

It's interesting to make that comparison! I think Johnette has a darker, rounder tone to her voice, and I think she tends to have more of a chesty/mix-y resonance and Flo has like a lighter, almost knifes-edge tone to her vibrato but I still think I see the links!

[@basildavidson4597]

Wonderful!

[@gabrijelalozancic2840]

YES YES YES BETH! Reacting to Free bye them would also be nice. Or What Kind of Man or 100 Years!

[@axelmears9047]

More Florence plssss

[@dwhelm84]

I can't wait for the vinyl to drop on Friday.

[@martinmillar7137]

This entire album is a wild ride..

[@PureMagic101]

If you could react to Sky Full of Song, Heaven Is Here, and Which Witch by her that would be awesome I love her voice she’s so underrated imo

[@evivant]

How about hey you by dope lemon?

[@martinmillar7137]

Love this song..as a song like on Spotify..i listen to it a lot and replay it while fighting on a mad os5 game called for honor just because that swith up gees me up 😂 but the video is incredible.. one of my all yime favs tbh... Not felt that way about a video since probably yhe verves bitter sweet symphony tbh this is better..its perfection

[@Cmoore718]

I think you’d like July Talk, they’re a good indie band but the total difference between the lead male and lead female singers are unreal.

[@italobovier]

You need to listen to the acustic version of cassandra

[@kassandrakid9440]

Oh please PLEASE do "Heaven is here!"

[@CalmBlue]

Took a lot of times listening to this song before I understood it, at least to have a strong interpretation. I think the song is sung from the perspective of Florence’s vision of herself as an artist. The argument in the kitchen isn’t between her and a partner but an internal dialogue between herself and the woman she always aspired to be. Her aspirations are telling her what she needs to do to become what she aspires to while also defining what that is.

[@alexianniello96]

Beth if you find her vocals interesting I’m begging you PLEASE give us a video analysing Stevie Nicks’ live performance of Talk To Me from Red Rocks. Would so love to see your reaction 🙏

[@capstan50g]

Wow! This woman sounds so much like Chrissie Hynde!

[@brianvernon249]

Ooh. Tammi Terrell. Please. Love your take on any of her songs.

[@Yldcatz]

Queen

[@brylish]

This is so interesting!!! I would LOVE to hear you analyse Consideration by Rihanna feat SZA as it's one of the most surprisingly impressive vocal performances imo, mostly coz I don't understand how it's done without taking loads of breaths 😂

[@martinmillar7137]

This may be one of my fav videos to.. just fits with the theme of the song.. and a good representation of all of our wtf thoughts i dunno

[@johenkay1129]

She uses king because she is in direct conflict with men in the video. She kills the one who wouldn't be subservient, spared the one who was, and the musicians at the end were under some sort of spell it seemed. The women were her followers, like a covenant of witches almost. At the end the man becomes subservient... If she used queen instead, she wouldn't be in direct conflict with men but with women. That's my take.

[@darrelljebb4544]

Have you reacted to Portishead?

[@marcusbengtson8570]

video is VERY Kate Bush. Love it.

[@Kelly_Cook]

Hi Beth. You should give the Sleep Token by Will Ramos a listen. It will blow your mind at his ability.

[@areaprogramacao]

React : Alcione - você me vira a cabeça

[@angelispawn]

how about Blue October - Fear?? preferably an acoustic version

[@Alberto-xz7th]

Where are you from? I love your accent

[@antivanti]

You should react to the video for Rammstein - Zeit Powerful song and visuals

[@douglasbarrera951]

Beth I know this is not patrion, but please, please, pretty please react to The Who’s Love Reign On Me and Guns and Roses’ Patience.

[@wortkarg]

Please react to Freya Ridings (Poison, Elephant, Holy Water, Castles, Lost Without You).

[@4DominikC]

I love Flo, she's definitely my favorite vocalist but as a non-native speaker I sometimes find it difficult to understand what she's singing and I have a feeling that her diction could have been better. Is it only my feeling? I don't have that with other vocalist. Maybe it's because I work with people from the US so I'm used to a different accent, idk.

[@BethRoars]

It might be accent. I don't think her diction is particularly bad but her vowels are very different.

[@vicesguerra8945]

Being a Celtic Woman as l heard you say, can you please react to our Filipino quartet 4th Impact do a rendition of the song "Amazing Grace" Thank you and more power to your channel

[@whiteeulogianraven7995]

Just a rush of blood to the head. What about Jamiroquai Live at Chile?

[@G10-n7f]

Some suggestions for future reactions, Simplemente Amor from husband & wife Diego Verdaguer and Amanda Miguel, and Volvere from Diego. Another good one is Olvidame y pega la vuelta from a brother and sister duo called Pimpinela. If you decide to react to pimpinela don’t do the original music video I would suggest you do one on where their performing on stage as they are known for singing and acting through their performance as the sister has a background in theater.

[@darrellstn762]

😍😍

[@maximusa019]

Heey, Beth, it would be great if you could react to Emilio Santiago - Saigon, he has a really top grade voice and most brazilians say that he has the greatest voice in our industry, so i think it would be really great if did a react

[@METALMAN-gp2kw]

I never really liked Florence + Machine, but this song- WOW!!!!!
