Track 12: "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) the Lionheart Remix" by Florence + the Machine
I initially crossed paths with Florence + the Machine while following the various projects of Devonte Hynes. The booming white-girl soul of Florence Welch, tinkered by a stable of noted producers, existed somewhere between Annie Lennox and Kate Bush and didn't immediately strike a chord with me.
That changed when I heard a remix of the second single. The direction of the remix is somewhat ironic considering that the Mercury Prize-nominated debut album was held up as an alternative to the UK's 2009 female electro-pop starlets. Singer/songwriter Jamie T (with frequent collaborator Ben Bones) is usually grabbing headlines overseas for his post-punk revival, but here he lays down my favorite remix of 2009.
