Florence + The Machine / Postcards From Italy
Florence takes on Beirut in this truly beautiful cover. The original's jubilant bounce is transformed by Florence into a poignant sway as she strips back the original's tropical stylings so we are left with just her voice and a lone ukulele. This is an astounding mix, with Florence's powerful vocals soaring above the warm strings of the ukulele as she switches from sweet croons to commanding wails in a matter of moments. It has to be said Florence's vocals really do carry the track as she even replicates the horn section of the original through some dazzling vocal acrobatics. This is an exquisite cover which yet again justifies Florence as one of the most compelling artists of our time.
