Born out of a potentially fatal health scare, Florence Welch’s sixth album Everybody Scream offers catharsis and evolution.
In 2022, Florence Welch’s Dance Fever tour was derailed when she suffered a potentially fatal health scare. Since then, she’s recovered and made appearances on Taylor Swift’s Florida!!! and The Weeknd’s Reflections Laughing.
Everybody Scream is a collaboration with Idles guitarist Mark Bowen, and the album is both a re-statement of what made her so beguiling and a gentle step forwards.

Medical worries are present, but tracks like You Can Have It All and the title track could have fit on her debut album Lungs. The album also shows an artist broadening her horizons with songs like One Of The Greats, Witch Dance, and Buckle.
