So, in case you didn’t know, Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine is kind of ridiculous, not in a “She’s ridiculous. I don’t like her” way, but in a “Holy crud! She is so incredible that she is kind of ridiculous!” I think that at least in my case, the first song I ever heard of hers was “Kiss With a Fist”, which, while it’s a good song, does NOTHING to showcase how talented she is at all. Yeah, it’s fun and catchy, but wow, there’s so much more she can do. And I think “Cosmic Love” might possibly be the perfect example of that. Our friend Tsururadio perhaps said it best when he questioned why people like Ke$ha and Gaga are so much more famous than her. Not knocking them or anything, but I think it’s hard to deny that Florence really has got the goods. Make sure to check out this video too. It has some of the best lighting throughout the whole video that I’ve seen in a while.

We are pretty excited to hear that she’s going to begin working on her follow up to 2009′s Lungs later this year. I’m super depressed that I did not catch her at Coachella. I hear it was pretty incredible.

If you don’t believe that she’s really got the set of pipes you’re hearing here, check out this acoustic version of the same song. It’s all real. No audio manipulation here, folks.

Still not convinced? How about this acoustic cover of the Beirut classic “Postcards from Italy”?

If these are a bit too slow for you, here’s a pretty great remix of “Cosmic Love” by P.E.S.T.
