Florence And The Machine How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (2015) (deluxe Edition)

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful is the third studio album by the English indie rock band Florence and the Machine. It is the band's first studio album in three and a half years and was produced by Markus Dravs.

On Florence + The Machine’s third album, their focus is clear from the cover art. While the group's first two albums featured frontwoman Florence Welch posed in a theatrical side profile with her eyes closed, this one finds her eyes open for the first time—and staring straight into the camera. This sense of immediacy and alertness infuses the band’s most mature, cohesive album yet, starting with propulsive opener, “Ship to Wreck.” Lush arrangements combine a rock band, strings, and brass with Welch’s volcanic, soaring voice, serving high drama on tracks like the driving “What Kind of Man” and the transcendent “Mother.”
