The Florence Welch-led group made their comeback last month with the new single ‘King’, which marked their first piece of new music since last year’s Cruella soundtrack contribution, ‘Call Me Cruella’.

Posting on Instagram earlier today (March 6), Welch confirmed that ‘Heaven Is Here’ would be released tomorrow and shared some background on the new track. “‘Heaven Is Here’ was the first song I wrote in lockdown after an extended period of not being able to get to the studio,” she wrote.

“I wanted to make something monstrous. And this clamour of joy, fury and grief was the first thing that came out.”

Welch added that fans could expect the song to be accompanied by some dance moves, writing: “With dance studios also shut it was my dream to one day create choreography with it. So it’s one of the first pieces of music I have made specifically with contemporary dance in mind.”

‘Heaven Is Here’ will be released tomorrow at 4pm, according to the star’s Instagram post, which also featured what appears to be the single’s artwork.

Around the release of ‘King’, Welch shared that she had begun thinking about herself as an artist in the context of her gender since she entered her thirties. “I suddenly feel this tearing of my identity and my desires,” she wrote. “To be a performer but also to want a family might not be as simple for me as it is for my male counterparts.

“I had modelled myself almost exclusively on male performers, and for the first time I felt a wall come down between me and my idols as I have to make decisions they did not.”

Meanwhile, Florence + The Machine will make their live comeback this summer with a series of European festival headline sets, including Norway’s Øya, Finland’s Flow and Spain’s Mad Cool.

"Every song I ever wrote became an escape rope tied around my neck to pull me up to heaven," Florence Welch sings.

A new Florence + The Machine track is here, and apparently, so is heaven. Accompanied by an eerie music video packed with primal choreography, Florence Welch and her indie rock band’s song “Heaven Is Here” arrived on Monday (March 7).

With gut-punching lyrics such as “Every song I ever wrote became an escape rope tied around my neck to pull me up to heaven,” the new song finds Welch venting her frustrations over being creatively chastised, according to a release. Written during lockdown, “Heaven Is Here” is a reckoning of themes such as “joy, grief, breath, the body, movement, the soul, power, rage, powerlessness, spirituality and escapism,” according to the release.

The group’s new project is aesthetically very similar to their previous song, “The King,” which dropped in February and explored Welch’s complicated feelings regarding womanhood. Equally dark and witchy as its predecessor, the “Heaven Is Here” video appears to take place in the same location as “The King” video starts — a room full of empty wooden bookshelves and tables. While the previous video shows a hooded Welch kidnapping a man from the room and later snapping his neck in an occult ritual, the new video shows the 35-year-old musician twirling, stomping and chanting with her group of female disciples.

Welch spoke about the new project on Instagram, revealing that two of the “Heaven Is Here” video dancers are currently sheltering amid the violence happening in Ukraine. In addition to posting a photo of her dancers in a close embrace on her story with a link to Rescue.org, she wrote in a post: “To my brave and beautiful sisters Maryne and Anastasiia, I love you. I wish I could put my arms around you. Strength.”
