Review: A Lot of Love. A Lot of Blood (EP) by Florence and the Machine

A Lot of Love. A Lot of Blood (EP) by Florence and the Machine

My rating: 8 out of 10

                This happens to be a lovely little sampling of the talented Florence Welch.  Each of her 4 songs on this EP has its own flavor:  “Kiss With a Fist” is a kick-ass rock ‘n roll tune with a twisted love story.  “Dog Days are Over” is my personal favorite.  Florence really shows of her singing abilities.  It’s such a happy and high-spirited song.; “Can you hear the horses, because here they come!”

                “You’ve Got the Love” has elements of both the previous songs.  It rocks and it soars along with Florence Welch’s vocals.  I would really recommend the XX remix of this song also.  “Hospital Beds” loses me a little bit with slightly melodramatic lyrics and a too-strong focus on the lyrics.

                Overall, a lovely little EP, and a superb teaser for Florence and the Machine.
