Awesome, thanks for posting this. Tough to find, and it's not on her official Youtube channel yet. Looking forward to a 720p res copy to put on my iPhone.

Ah, Florence.

I just want to say 3 more things about her...

1. She's SUCH a nice gal. Every interview, so polite, such a pleasure, such a character....sometimes incredibly shy too...

2. So impressed with her live performances sometimes too. Like this one at Abbey Road....

3. She seems now to have hit mainstream popularity. And this is pretty encouraging for anyone who likes real music made by real artists. Over a year ago when I first heard about her, she was just the "song of the week" on the Q magazine website.
Now, she's performing at awards shows, her music is used in TV promos, and she has even appeared on a crappy (but popular) morning breakfast show here in Australia, where she looked VERY uncomfortable and shy.

Anyway, maybe her popularity is breaking open a market for more female singers to follow? Remember what happened back in the 1990s when Alanis broke through with Jagged Little Pill....

I only hope she doesn't wear herself out with all the touring and festivals

My partner got me into her music. I would not really have listened beause I consider her voice to be so awful. I mean REALLY flat at times. Horrendous. You could strip wallpaper with that voice. but the songs are surprisingly good. I say surprisingly because I originally thought she was just another hyped artist with all image and no content, but found I ended up liking her music. I suggested seeing her live but surprisingly it was my partner who said no, her voice is so flat at times it may not be worth going. But now I really like that album. It's the first time I've been so surprised by an artist for a while, and found an album which really grew on me that originally left me cold.
