‘Everybody Scream’: the new album and single from Florence + the Machine
Today (19th August 2025), Florence + the Machine announced the release date, name, and first single for their 6th studio album. Titled ‘Everybody Scream’, the LP is set to have 12 songs with 4 bonus tracks featuring chamber versions of four of the songs, only available on exclusive CD or vinyl copies via the Florence + the Machine store.
The first single, of the same name, will be released on Wednesday 20th August 2025. The music video is directed by Autumn De Wilde (who also directed all of the ‘Dance Fever’ music videos as well as the album cover shoot).
Speaking of the album, Florence stated how the life-saving surgery she underwent during the "Dance Fever Tour," led to a period of reflection on the meaning of ‘healing’, relationships, femininity, and the limits of the human body. The first single, ‘Everybody Scream’, mirrors this theme by establishing what her bodily limits are, and how performance allows transcendence beyond that.

Florence + the Machine’s 6th studio album is upon us…
After weeks of teasing content via Florence Welch’s Instagram (including hints to medieval and witchy themes, as well as potentially new lyrics - see below), Florence + the Machine have begun the process of showcasing new visuals for the band’s 6th studio album.
We do not yet know the title of the first single or the album, but the first single has been teased with a powerful music video snippet of Florence digging and screaming into the ground.
Earlier this month, Florence shared a series of photos including an allusion that the new album may be coming in October 2025, and lyrics:
I came to a clearing full of wailing and keening
A well of tears that never runs dry
The women said we’ve been waiting
Waiting to meet you
It’s only a matter of time
Thrust my fists in the ground
And the earth made a moaning sound
I could feel something shudder
Deeper
Deeper down

Dance Fever released - the fall-out
A brief summary of the charting and industry performance since Dance Fever's release.
Dance Fever arrived with a bang on the 13th May, received with universal critical acclaim with a score (to date) of 85/100 on Metacritic.
Charting at number 1 in the UK album chart (Florence + the Machine's 4th), number 2 in a range of other countries including Australia, Germany and Ireland, and number 7 in the US Billboard charts; it makes Florence the only female rock artist to have had four consecutive US number 1 albums in the US. Rock and roll has certainly resurrected in their image!
Speaking to the Official Charts Company, Florence expresses "I’m so grateful and moved to be Number 1 in the UK. There were so many moments when I nearly gave up on this record. When it seemed impossible that it would ever get done. So to have it out in the world and be so embraced is an incredible feeling. Sending so much love and thanks to everyone."
Florence also commented to BBC's Jo Wiley, that she does not take it for granted that despite being in the industry for 13 years, people still embrace the music she produces, which surprises her given it is not a mainstream sound.
