Having teased the arrival of this new release with cryptic images and lyrics of the magical and mythical, "Mermaids" has finally been unveiled.
A fitting addition to her fifth number one album Dance Fever, released last year, "Mermaids" sits alongside spoken word poem versions of album tracks "King", "My Love" and "Cassandra" which have been added to the original album to create Dance Fever - The Complete Edition.
"Mermaids" was written and produced by Florence Welch and Dave Bayley. They started it during their sessions for Dance Fever and completed it when Florence was recovering from her broken foot.
"Mermaids" and Dance Fever - The Complete Edition are out now.
