Back to rock roots

After a contribution to the Baz Luhrmann-movie The Great Gatsby, and among other things a collaboration with Calvin Harris is the lead singer Florence Welch returns with the band Florence and the Machine ... and how! Went the second album Ceremonials with strong singles like SHAKE IT OUT SPECTRUM or even in a more mystical and melancholy direction, the group associated with the extraction WHAT KIND OF MAN to their rock roots.
Here, the song starts very quiet and unusually vocal. Florence Welsh's clear voice is processed, which is due to the deep background vocals, but which evaporates quickly. Because after the first verse employ loud electric guitars and you can hear their bright, swelling vocals.
WHAT KIND OF MAN is directed in a different direction, in a direction that sounds very much like LUNGS, the debut album that has quite rocky moments with GIRL WITH ONE EYE WITH A FIST and KISS. This rocking component with fat guitars and a powerful bass is fun and leave you wanting more! I am looking forward to the third album HOW BIG, BLUE HOW, HOW BEAUTIFUL which will be released in late May in Germany.
Unfortunately, does not offer the digital version the recorded dynamics. In mid-April was the international Record Store Day, in which you could buy a vinyl single WHAT KIND OF MAN together with an exclusive B-side in a highly limited edition. During the download rather flat sound and no great differences in volume can be identified, the song impressed on the record, especially when using the electric guitars. From compressions there is no trace!
If you WHAT KIND OF MAN by Florence and the Machine only road wants to enjoy together with various everyday sounds and that, you need the MP3 file, then you should download this item. Audiophile buyers should, as it did before, wait for the Schallplattenset Album or to buy the coveted RSD single.
