What's next? Early thoughts.
I know the Everybody Scream era is not even over yet (though we are getting close) but still I'm wondering what could the next album be like.
Let's not talk about how she always wants to quit, let's just say there's a new album coming again in a few years. What will it be like?
For me, her previous eras kinda work in pairs. With Lungs she created her own mythical world and I feel like Ceremonials was like a darker, more polished follow up, still packed with glitter and magic. With HB3 she went into more personal territories, breakup songs, more trendy, stripped back visuals and then continued to strip it all down in High As Hope. I think Dance Fever was a return to form, but grown up, seeing someone real professional acknowledging herself as kind of her own mythological creation if that makes sense. For me, Everybody Scream is definitely again a follow up to Dance Fever, leaning more into the horror side of it all, bringing in darker personal stories.
So what could the 7th album bring us? I think she truly enjoys working with her current creative team so that might mean we'll see a third installment in the Florence + Autumn De Wilde universe, with Thunderwing studio designs and supporting visuals by Andrea Zanatelli. As much as I'd love it, I fear it could be a bit repetitive so there's probably a bit of change expected.
As for topics: peace is coming? Morning Elvis on Dance Fever foreshadowed what's next: Florence basically giving birth to new songs on the cover of Everybody Scream because she can't (and doesn't really want to) quit. I wonder if we'll get a peace&love kind of era from her the next time, if And Love is hinting at the future again.
What do you all think? I'd love to read everyone's thoughts, wishes. Just for fun. Again, I know the current era is still on and I'm fully enjoying it. The thing is I just can't get enough of her art and vision amd am always curious about what's next.
