With her platinum selling album Lungs, the biggest UK debut album of the year to date under her belt, Florence and the Machine releases her exquisite cover of Candi Stanton’s ‘You’ve Got The love’ to round off what has been an exceptional 2009.
Florence’s has made the song her own with her killer version of this modern classic. Playing as a triumphant set closer to massive crowds all summer long. Introducing YGTL to an army of young fans for the first time and giving older fans ones the chance to loose their minds all over again.
This has lead to over 50,000 downloads of the single being plucked from the album already. You’ve Got The Love has not left the singles chart since the album was released in early July.
...according to Kris Coleman.
The single worst cover of 2009 (possibly the decade).A disgrace and a shameful release from this truly contemptable and utterly ingenuine 'artist'.
For evidence of how this tune should sound please refer to the original mix from 1986,'eren's bootleg mix' from 1991,or even the 'now voyager mix' from 1996.

Totally worthy, passionate & adrenalised cover of a worn out house standard. Absolutely breathes new life into a tired song. Florence is undoutedly one of the shining lights of the 2009 vanguard, a red-hot fox of a young woman with masses of original ideas & a tremendous insight into the future of music. Don't s(h)it on this, you ninnies!!...according to Des Lynam.
utter utter toilet... but the xx mix of this is singularly the best remix of a cover ever i'd say... sheer utterly brilliance and proof that you can indeed polish a turd... even florence's turdular voice... by mainly leaving her voice out and singing over it instead!!...according to Trevor.
Take a classic record and do a super lame version of it. Hooray for Florance and her dildo machine. I wanted to do a toilet on this record. Candi Staton should stab her right up.
Rating: 1 out of 5...according to Trevor.
