The idea for the Opalite music video crash landed into my imagination when I was doing promo for The Life of a Showgirl. I was a guest on one of my favorite shows, @TheGrahamNortonShowOfficial. For those of you who aren't familiar, it's a UK late night show where Graham Norton (the insanely charismatic and lovable host) invites a random group of actors, entertainers, musicians, etc to be on his show and we all sit there and chat like it's a dinner party.
The appearance featured a powerhouse performance of the title track, followed by Florence Welch sitting down for an interview alongside fellow guests Bruce Springsteen, Jeremy Allen White, Jennifer Lawrence, and Tessa Thompson. Welch belted out "Everybody Scream" with furious intensity, backed by a choir with synchronized choreography. Their literal screams added to the already haunting nature of the performance, which was accentuated by a tight rhythm section and dynamic piano.
