Just a couple of days after sharing a preview video for their third album, Florence + The Machine shared the full details of their third album and its first single.
Earlier this week, the group posted a short two-minute video titled “How Big How Blue How Beautiful.” It turns out that this wasn’t a tease for a full song, but a tease for the full album and its title.
The first single for the album is “What Kind of Man,” which was directed by Vincent Haycock and choreographed by Ryan Heffington.
The album will be released on June 2 in the U.S. on CD and vinyl. The main album has 11 tracks, while the deluxe edition adds three more songs and two demos.
How Big How Blue How Beautiful is the group’s first album since 2011’s Ceremonials. Their first album, 2009’s Lungs, featured the hit single “Dog Days Are Over.”
Here’s the video for the new single:
