During her youth, Welch was encouraged by her Scottish paternal grandmother, Cybil Welch (ne Russell),[9][12] to pursue her performing and singing talents.[13] Welch's deceased grandmothers inspired numerous songs on Florence and the Machine's debut album Lungs (2009).[14] In her youth, Welch also sang at family weddings and funerals.[15] Aged ten, she performed the song of Yum-Yum from The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan at Colin Welch's memorial service.[16]

On 7 March 2022, the second single was released alongside a music video, also directed by de Wilde, titled "Heaven Is Here". On 9 March 2022, Welch announced through her Instagram page that the band's fifth studio album would be titled Dance Fever and would have 14 songs, in her words "A fairytale in 14 songs".

Welch has been compared to other singers such as Kate Bush,[59][60] Stevie Nicks,[61] Siouxsie Sioux,[59][60] PJ Harvey,[59] Shirley Manson,[62] Alison Goldfrapp,[63] Tori Amos,[64] and Bjrk.[60] When describing Lungs, Welch said, "When I was writing these songs, I used to refer to myself as Florence 'Robot...because I really like what a machine thinks organic instruments really sound like."[34] Welch possesses a contralto vocal range.[65] In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked Welch at number 128 on its list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.[66]

Welch is known for her distinctive clothing style, often performing concerts wearing light Gucci dresses, barefoot and without jewellery.[75] Vogue described her style as Bohemian and called her "the queen of Bohemian style."[76]

Discussing her fashion style Welch said, "For the stage, it's The Lady of Shalott meets Ophelia... mixed with scary gothic bat lady. But in real life I'm kind of prim."[77] Welch often mixes artistic influences both in her fashion style and music, with a strong nod towards the style of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.[78] 2011 saw Gucci dressing her for her summer tour and a performance at the Chanel runway show at Paris Fashion Week.[79] Welch describes 1970s American drag queen troupe the Cockettes and French chanson singer Franoise Hardy as fashion mentors.[80]

Welch has been open about her struggles with anxiety and depression, as well as with alcohol. Many of her songs reflect these issues.[92] In 2019, she discussed her panic attacks in an interview with Sinad Burke. She explained, "My hands go tingly, my lips go tingly. I sort of think that it's very serious and I'm about to die and I have to lie on the floor and breathe...I know I'm having a panic attack, really. But I also really want someone to take me to hospital."[93]

Welch has the capacity for big, booming pop songs, and "Queen of Peace" does have a horn section set to 11, but her singing is remarkably reserved, only opening up in glimpses during the song's emotional chorus. The high drama and striking visuals of the video at least match, if not surpass, both vocals and instrumentation in intensity.

In "Snow on Tha Bluff", J. Cole raps, "it's something about the queen tone that's botherin' me", adding later, "Just 'cause you woke and I'm not, that shit ain't no reason to talk like you better than me / How you gon' lead, when you attackin' the very same n****s that really do need the shit that you sayin'?"

Day Four reflects the inner turbulence of a brigata member,Filostrato, and the inability of the group to leave behind totally theirfeelings of sadness and the phenomena of death and suffering witnessed inplague-ridden Florence. Filostrato's unhappiness leads him to requirethat everyone recount unhappy love stories, and by the end of his reign heapologizes for his theme, makes Fiammetta queen, and advocates that sheshould comfort and restore order to the group. He asks that she lead thegroup out of Day Four's misery, which is reminiscent of theplague's effects, and onto a path of happiness and enjoyableaffabulation. Ostensibly, Fiammetta's theme will do just that--"Adalcuno amante, dopo alcuni fieri o sventurati accidenti, felicementeavvenisse" (Dec. 5.1.1)--but beneath the subject's surface lies amore complicated situation. Each happily-ever-after in the first nine talesof Day Five is celebrated with the marriage of the protagonists. Inevitably,the protagonists of this day are young, beautiful, and, for the most part, inlove with one another. If Day Four's enamored couples enjoyed somesolace and togetherness before their death, Day Five's protagonists inthe first nine tales are rewarded in life with a nuptial celebration and thefairy-tale like brief epilogues stating that they were happy for the rest oftheir lives.

By taking a close look at the conclusion of Day Five andDioneo's ballata, we will observe that as the only day ordered tocontain tales of lovers' happiness following cruel misfortunes, Day Fivewill end in conflict and on a lugubrious note, just as it began. (5) Dioneospells out for us his, the brigata's, and our own human aesthetic forlaughter at the beginning of Dec. 5.10. (6) We laugh and are entertained whenbad things happen, and especially when they happen to other people. At theend of the day, when asked by the new queen, Elissa, to sing the eveningballad, he attempts to live that philosophy by intoning inappropriate songsin place of a serious ballata only to find that there are limits to the funand freedom of expression under the new queen's reign. Will the mostirreverent, merry member of the brigata sing to us of inner peace, happylove, and cheer? Or will the day of the happy ending be bookended by yetanother brigata member's doleful song and dance? Let us begin to explorethe tales themselves in order to arrive at the answers to these questions andto discover how Boccaccio the parodist is at work in Day Five.

As Dino Cervigni outlines at the opening of this volume, each ofthe ten evening songs represents the climactic moment of the brigata'sactivities. Often, the songs undermine the brigata's harmoniousenvironment and the sense of order among the group. Thus Filostrato'ssong at the end of Day Four reveals a deep sense of misery because he hasbeen betrayed by his lady. In order to draw attention to his own sadness, andto make others feel his pain, he requires stories of failed loves in thefourth day. However, his sadness is not neatly confined to the duration ofhis reign. By singing a doleful ballad at the beginning of Fiammetta'sreign as queen, he manages to imbricate his somber state of being into thedesign of Day Five. His ballad makes clear that the chance forFilostrato's happiness in love has passed. As Filostrato notices thesetting sun and realizes that his reign has come to an end, he expressesregret for having required the brigata to speak of lovers' unhappiness.Thus, he excuses himself for what he has done: "[...] si scuso di cioche fatto avea, cioe d'aver fatto ragionare di material cosi fiera comee quella della infelicita degli amanti" (Dec. 4. Concl. 2). At thebeginning of Day Four, he calls on Fiammetta to begin the storytellingregarding unhappy love. At the end of his reign, too, Filostrato singles outFiammetta, who, in his opinion, knows best how to console the brigata and putan end to his "aspra giornata" and, presumably, the telling ofunfortunate events: "'Pongo a te questa corona si come a colei laquale meglio dell'aspra giornata d'oggi, che alcuna altra, conquella di domane queste nostre compagne racconsolar saprai'"("'I now bequeath you this crown, knowing that you are better ablethan any other to restore the spirits of our fair companions tomorrow afterthe rigours of the present day's proceedings'" Dec. 4. Concl.3). (7) With this statement, the reader witnesses one of the unique instancesin which the outgoing king or queen selects a new leader for a specific,stated reason. Filostrato chooses Fiammetta because of her presumed abilityand willingness to make right the tearful, lugubrious atmosphere surroundinghis reign.

As a result of her statement and the desire to show Filostratoexactly what he has done, Fiammetta gives him a taste of his own medicine.Ultimately, she will console the group somewhat by requiring that each taleend happily. But, that comfort is but a fragment of her topic and is alludedto with just two words, "felicemente avvenisse." The stories of DayFive should reverse--as Filostrato himself suggests in passing the crown toFiammetta--the unhappy, cruel theme of Day Four. But, the bulk of DayFive's theme statement, together with the majority of the tales'narrative action, is focused on quite similar unhappy and cruel events. Thequeen does not thus oppose the recounting of adverse circumstances on theirexcursion outside of Florence. So, when she orders Filostrato to perform DayFour's closing ballata, Fiammetta seems more concerned with silencing,and perhaps even punishing, Filostrato as an individual rather than lesseningor eliminating the infelicity from which he suffers and which befalls younglovers in the novelle themselves. (9)

For a day that, as we shall see, will showcase trials andtribulations on a par with those of Day Four, except for its happyconclusion, the Decameron's fifth day begins tranquilly. The text drawsthe reader's attention to the rising sun and the waking of Fiammetta.The birds merrily sing as the queen calls for the brigata and thecommencement of the day's diversions. The young people chat, dine,imbibe fine wines, and dance, as is their custom. After lunch, some of theyouths take naps, while others enjoy themselves in the gardens. One noveldetail comes about when the brigata finally gathers just after Nones to begintheir storytelling. As usual, the queen takes a central place among thegroup, but Boccaccio specifies furthermore: "[...] e essendosi la reinaa seder posta pro tribunali, verso Panfilo riguardando, sorridendo a luiimpose che principio desse alle felici novelle" (Dec. 5. Intro. 5). In afootnote, Branca directs that "pro tribunali" be read "alposto d'onore," which would be redundant since the reader alreadyknows the central, honorific, and principal role each queen or king holds.(13) In that same footnote, Branca translates literally the phrase andexplains, "davanti al suo tribunale, cioe come un giudice in mezzo allacorte" (Dec. 5. Intro. 5n2). I believe that the literal translationshould be considered, especially since no other queen or king has been orwill be designated in such a way. A series of relevant questions arises fromour close consideration of the phrase: why is this wording used only andprecisely at the onset of Day Five? Who or what is being judged or is ontrial in Fiammetta's "court?" 006ab0faaa
