WATCH: Florence and The Machine announce new album, debut first song

/ 04:34 PM May 06, 2018

The British band released the track “Hunger” to herald their new album, “High As Hope”.

“At 17, I started to starve myself/ I thought that love was a kind of emptiness,” lead singer Florence Welch begins. “And at least I understood then the hunger I felt/ And I didn’t have to call it loneliness,” she goes on, before the refrain “We all have a hunger” kicks in.

The video shows Welch letting loose and dancing in an empty hallway and in a living room. Various people in a museum or gallery come to look at a damaged statue, seemingly enthralled by its beauty; some fall to their knees or touch it wonderingly. A leafy fern that Welch places in the statue’s palm sprouts, covering the statue in vines and greenery.
