What Kind of Man
Florence and the Machine Perform "What Kind of Man" on ' Jools Holland'

Florence and the Machine frontwoman Florence Welch might have been dealt a crappy hand during the first weekend of Coachella when she broke her foot, but that's not stopping her from putting all her energy into her newly toned down performances.
During Coachella weekend two, the songstress was confined to a stool and a few weeks later, it looks like the stool has become her partner for her live performances.
Last night, Welch and the rest of the band performed on British late night show, Later….with Jools Holland. Welch, who is known for her showmanship, sat on her trusty stool to sing "What Kind of Man." We can only assume it took all of her energy to remain seated since you can clearly see her bouncing up and down, frantically, to the song.
Watch the performance on the show below.
According to Welch, her broken foot should be healed by the time the band are scheduled to perform at Glastonbury at the end of June. We're sure she'll be getting enough rest in the meantime because the band's schedule seems to be light this Summer.
Their next gig is on May 9 where they will be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live and then after that, they will have a big break before heading to New York's Randall's Island for the Governors Ball.
"What Kind of Man" is the lead single to How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, due out June 2nd.

Florence + the Machine Drop New Album Info
After releasing what was believed to be the lead single from their upcoming new record, Florence + the Machine have given fans something to look forward to in the Summer; the name and release date of said album.
The duo's third studio album will be titled How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, just like the song they released earlier this week. The record will be released on June 2 through Republic Records.
The first official single, as it turns out, is a track titled "What Kind of Man" just like iTunes had "mistakenly" posted on Monday.
Watch the music video which was directed by Vincent Haycock (he also directed the video for "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful") for "What Kind of Man" below.
The record was produced by Markus Dravs who has a great track record previously working with acts like The Arcade Fire, Coldplay, and Björk.
In a statement about the record, songstress Florence Welch said the following about the producer: "Markus has done a few Arcade Fire albums and he's done Björk's Homogenic, which is a huge record for me. And I felt he had that balance of organic and electronic capabilities, managing those two worlds…I wanted to make something that was big but that had a gentleness to it. That had a warmth, that was rooted. I think that's why we went back more to the live instruments. Something that was band-led almost."
How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful is the follow-up to Florence + the Machine's highly successful 2011 record, Ceremonials. "What Find of Man" is currently available on iTunes while the record can be pre-ordered over at Florence + the Machine's website.
