Florence + The Machine Release ‘Heaven Is Here’ Single

Florence + The Machine shared a new single, “Heaven Is Here.” As with the group’s previous single, “Heaven Is Here” arrived along with a music video directed by Autumn de Wilde.

Florence + the Machine previously shared a single and Autumn de Wilde-directed video for “King.” The video for “Heaven Is Here” is also helmed by de Wilde with choreography from Ryan Heffington.

Frontwoman Florence Welch spoke about how she crafted the song with the choreography in mind and more in press materials for the new single and video:

“Heaven is Here” was the first song I wrote in lockdown after an extended period of not being able to get to the studio. I wanted to make something monstrous. And this clamour of joy, fury and grief was the first thing that came out. 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.

In a social media post, Welch also noted that the video was filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine in November 2021. Read an excerpt from her post:

Two of the dancers in this video are currently sheltering. To my brave and beautiful sisters Maryne and Anastasiia

I love you.

I wish I could put my arms around you.

Strength.
