Florence and the Machine
Florence and the Machine was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night. She performed “What Kind of Man,” a track from Florence’s recently released third album, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. But while Florence Welch is known for big performances, this was a stripped down version of the song, with Welch backed by an acoustic guitar, keyboard, and harp. Of course, this allowed all the fireworks to come from her strong vocals. Check it out below.

Absolutely lovely. I wouldn’t mind her doing more performances like this - her voice is definitely strong enough.
