Drake and Flo

As you may already know Florence "+ crew" went to see Drake perform at the HMV Apollo but little did we know that yesterday (08/01/2011) they would be singing together. Florence provided the vocals that Alicia Keys usually sings on Drake's track Fireworks. Check the footage out here or here!

'HEAVY IN YOUR ARMS' & 'BETWEEN TWO LUNGS'

On November 15th Florence & The Machine will release the single 'Heavy In Your Arms'.

The track is a highlight of both this year's festival season the third installment of the 'Twilight: Eclipse' film.

Here's what Florence has to say:

“Heavy In Your Arms I suppose is about the weight of love, and how sometimes it can be a burden between two people. I felt this was a strong theme in the Twilight series, is someone being rescued or are they being condemned? And is the love you carry bringing you down.

"I recorded it with Paul (Epworth) one evening, using a lot of strange reversed vocal samples and big hip hop piano. It's basically inspired by 90's hip hop, and gospel choirs, like most of my songs.”

'Heavy In Your Arms' will also feature on 'Between Two Lungs', a special two-disc edition of Flo's award-winning 'Lungs' debut.

Also released on November 15, 'Between Two Lungs' will feature new sleeve art, sleeve notes by Florence and a ten track second disc packed with exclusive live versions and remixes, including Flo's massive Brit Awards collaboration with Dizzee Rascal 'You Got The Dirtee Love'.

My Inspiration CD Artwork

Some people can sing like no one else. Some are poets, who can tell the most incredible stories. 'My Inspiration' is about the artists we love, sharing with us the lyrics and songs that have inspired them. The journey began over three years ago, when David Bowie became the first artist to take part, selecting Syd Barrett's 'Gigolo Aunt' as his inspiration. Since that time many of our greatest icons and best new artists have also featured.

HMV has now taken this idea a step further by inviting some of our most exciting new talent such as Florence and the Machine, VV Brown and Gary Go as well as more established stars including Girls Aloud and Stereophonics to record for us their own personal version of a song that has inspired them.

The result is the my inspiration album - a fantastic collection of covers of inspirational songs, many of which are exclusive to HMV and are only being heard for the first time.

Tracklisting:
1. Man In The Mirror [Michael Jackson]-James Morrison
2. Beggin' [Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons]-Saturdays
3. For Once In My Life [Stevie Wonder]-Sugababes
4. Black And Gold [Sam Sparro]-Gary Go
5. Rehab [Amy Winehouse]-Frankmusik
