Dance Fever Album • Florence + The Machine • 2022 14 songs • 47 minutes

Dance Fever is the fifth studio album by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine, released on 13 May 2022 by Polydor Records. Work on the album was originally scheduled for early 2020 in New York City; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, recording took place in London instead. Frontwoman Florence Welch has cited Iggy Pop as the biggest musical influence on the album which features a variety of styles, ranging from progressive pop to indie pop, disco, and industrial music. The title and concept of Dance Fever originated in Welch's fascination with choreomania, a social phenomenon in early modern Europe that involved groups of people dancing erratically. The album cover was photographed by Autumn de Wilde, who also filmed music videos for the album's four singles: "King", "Heaven Is Here", "My Love" and "Free". Dance Fever debuted atop the UK Albums Chart, making it the band's fourth number-one album in their home country. It also entered the top ten in several other territories and received widespread acclaim from music critics. To promote the album, Florence and the Machine will embark on the Dance Fever Tour of North America, Europe and Oceania.
