Pick four songs from any band and you can tell a lot about their sound. This summer, I’m featuring #RockBlocks, four picks from bands across various genres. They might be wildly different from each other, but what binds them together is the fact that they’re all a part of my life soundtrack.

Four albums in, High as Hope was wiser. More reflective. More versatile. But still Florence through and through. The singing on the entire recording is exceptional, as Florence’s vocals only got better. And many of the songs on the album have an epic feel, each of them demonstrating a storytelling genius akin to Kate Bush’s catalog. One of my favorites is “South London Forever”.

It’s a song of tension. From prose to poetry. From whispering verse to powerful rant. From slow to fast, back to slow, back to fast again. “South London Forever” combines the spunk of her early recordings with a more mature voice and perspective. This underrated song — and the album at large — are helping Florence to live up to — and even exceed — those lofty Kate Bush comparisons.

“But everything I ever did was just another way to scream your name.”
