The best song of the week: Queen of Peace

Queen of Peace by Florence + the Machine

The artist: By no means an up-and-comer, Florence Welch has established herself on the music scene as a consistently excellent producer of unique hits.

• Song of the week: Panama City
• 
Song of the week: Dreams
• Song of the week: True Detective‘s surprise hit

The 28-year-old British songstress is known for her swooping vocals, orchestral riffs and poetic lyrics. Her latest album, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, is no exception.

The vibe: Fast-paced, rock-and-roll folk music.

Listen to it when: Walking to work or vacuuming the house to raise the pace and make everything just a little more exciting.
