High as Hope by Florence And The Machine
High as Hope is an album by Florence And The Machine, released in 2018. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 20 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Hunger”, on 13 lists with a best position of #3.
High as Hope, Florence and the Machine's fourth album, arrived on 29 June 2018 through Republic and Virgin EMI, and after the big, dramatic productions the band made its name on, it's a deliberate step into a smaller room. Florence Welch executive produced it with Emile Haynie, and the arrangements are pared down and minimalist, leaving more air around that enormous voice, with Isabella Summers' keyboards and Rob Ackroyd's guitar framing it rather than flooding it.
The songs turn inward, to heartache, loss, family and finding comfort in being alone, and the writing is as personal as she has ever let it get. "Sky Full of Song" and "Hunger" went out ahead of the album, with "Patricia" following in August. Critics came away raving about her singing and the intimacy of the lyrics.
