"While touring behind her last album, Dance Fever, Florence Welch was hospitalized for an ectopic miscarriage; the singer channeled the effects of that life-altering, traumatic event into work for a follow-up. For the resulting Everybody Scream, Welch dove into medieval and renaissance studies and the history of witchcraft and mysticism, shrouding her characteristically vivid chamber pop with even deeper pathos and psychodrama."
"KeiyaA's second studio album is named after the law of elasticity, which states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the load applied to it. The Chicago-born, New York-based singer and producer puts that law to the test with an expansive, head-spinning collage of R&B, electronic, jazz, and experimental music that threatens to uncoil at any minute."
Florence Welch was hospitalized for an ectopic miscarriage while touring behind Dance Fever and channeled that life-altering traumatic event into a follow-up album. On Everybody Scream, Welch immersed herself in medieval and renaissance studies and the history of witchcraft and mysticism, layering vivid chamber pop with deeper pathos and psychodrama. Welch worked on the new Florence and the Machine LP with Idles' Mark Bowen, Danny L Harle, the National's Aaron Dessner, and Mitski, who helped pen the title track. KeiyaA's Hooke's Law borrows its name from the physics law of elasticity and unfolds as an expansive, genre-defying collage. KeiyaA wrote, recorded, and produced the material over five years, played every instrument on the album, and included one feature from rapper Rahrah Gabor. Hooke's Law frames a journey of self-love as a cycle rather than a linear narrative.
