Florence + The Machine have shared their next helping of new material, Heaven Is Here, alongside stunning Autumn De Wilde-directed visuals.
Florence + The Machine have shared a brand new song entitled Heaven is Here.
The 2:16 long track sees Florence Welch deliver another striking vocal performance, as she comes together with director Autumn De Wilde to create stunning visuals.
The song, which Welch says is the first she's made with dance specifically in mind, is the second cut to be taken from Florence + The Machine's as-yet-untitled fifth studio album.
Watch the official video for the Heaven Is Here below:

Taking to social media on Sunday (6th March) to tease the track, Florence Welch revealed: "Heaven is Here was the first song I wrote in lockdown after an extended period of not being able to get to the studio. I wanted to make something monstrous. And this clamour of joy, fury and grief was the first thing that came out…"
She added: "With dance studios also shut it was my dream to one day create choreography with it. So it’s one of the first pieces of music I have made specifically with contemporary dance in mind."
