Hear Florence + the Machine Cover Iggy & the Stooges’ “Search and Destroy”; ‘Dance Fever’ Deluxe Out Now

This past Friday, May 13, Florence + the Machine returned with a powerful new album, Dance Fever.
It has already been followed with a Deluxe Edition, which Welch shared to digital platforms this week with some additional tracks — among them a cover of the classic anthem “Search and Destroy,” originally by Iggy Pop & his band the Stooges, covered here with a rhythmic, acoustic stomp, led as always by Florence Welch’s soaring voice:
The other new tracks on the Deluxe Edition include four acoustic versions of songs from Dance Fever: “Cassandra,” “Free,” “Morning Elvis,” and “My Love.”
Dance Fever was largely composed during the pandemic, but despite those circumstances, it’s a record of hopefulness and inspiration, a shot of positivity and uplift conceived during a time in which so many of us felt anything but jubilant, songs of swelling emotions that targeted the eventual return of the joyful side of human experience.
A news release sums up the project’s scope in more detail:
“The image and concept of choreomania—a Renaissance phenomenon in which groups of people danced wildly to the point of exhaustion, collapse and death—became a focal point of inspiration. Forced off the road for the first time in more than a decade, dance offered Florence propulsion, energy and a way of looking at music more choreographically.”
Here’s the album’s opening track, “King,” as performed on The Tonight Show:
