Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine knows how to pour on the dramatic flourishes, be it in her outfits or her music or her basic stage presence.
Don’t expect anything less on the tour to promote her latest album “Dance Fever.”
“I love breaking barriers in my performance,” Welch said in a lively Zoom interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “It never feels right to just stay on stage. I like getting as close to people as possible so I’m able to get down there to hold someone’s hand.” And with the pandemic less of a concern, “I feel there’s more freedom for me to just be the performer I am, which is incredibly physical and right in there with the crowd.”
