Florence + the Machine Detail New Album ‘High As Hope’

On Thursday (May 4th) Florence + the Machine released “Hunger“, along with an A.G Rojas-directed music video. “This song is about the ways we look for love in things that are perhaps not love, and how attempts to feel less alone can sometimes isolate us more,” band leader Florence Welch said in a statement. “I guess I made myself more vulnerable in this song to encourage connection, because perhaps a lot more of us feel this way than we are able to admit. Sometimes when you can’t say it, you can sing it.”

“Hunger” arrived with more good news for Florence + the Machine fans. The band’s fourth studio album—titled High As Hope—will arrive on June 29th via Republic. High As Hope is the follow-up to 2015’s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, and will include “Sky Full of Song“, which arrived earlier this Spring.

According to a statement, Florence + the Machine wrote and recorded most of High As Hope in solitude. The songs were completed in Los Angeles, with assistance from co-producer Emile Haynie. Featured collaborators include Kamasi Washington, Kelsey Lu, Tobias Jesso Jr, Sampha, and Jamie Xx.
