Rufus

Album of the Year Nomination #3 - Florence + the Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful

Joining the wonderful Kendrick Lamar and Mark Ronson is the divine and heavenly Florence + the Machine for album number 3, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. Peaking at Number One in Australia, Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand and the UK, Florence and the Machine clearly have a hit on their hands.

Following "What Kind of Man", "Ship to Wreck", "Delilah" & "St. Jude" this album already feels like a best of release. Florence + the Machine are just divine and following on from the amazing Ceremonials and just brilliant debut Lungs, this just cements Florence + the Machine's position on top of the music ladder.

So now there are 3, the album of the year will be announced on Boxing Day 2015. On Australia Day 2016 I will announce the Australian Album of 2015, the 10 days prior to this I will shortlist around 10 Australian Albums of top shelf nature before publishing the biggest Aussie release of the year.

Florence + the Machine thank you for another truly magically album.
