Florence + The Machine has recently gained notoriety in the independent music scene. While their sound is overall a little on the pop-y side, I have to admit that I completely fell in love with "Blinding", "Kiss With a Fist" and "Cosmic Love" from their album Lungs. I forced both my sister and my mother to listen to the album. I feel a degree of accomplishment that I can influence my mom to listen to music she would NEVER listen to if not for me. Anyway, I don't listen to Lungs that much anymore, and most of the other tracks get skipped over. But when I stumbled across this remix of "You've Got the Love" done by The Xx, I immediately fell in love.
The intro builds from a quiet beat that reminds me of the drum and bass line of some of the older Lamb tracks, and becomes this crazy study in contrasts. The Xx's dirty deep beats paired with a high light voice is pulled off so effectively.
