Watching her onstage, you'd think Florence Welch has no problem giving her body to performance. As Florence + the Machine's primary conduit, Welch aches and bellows during their now-arena-sized shows. She shuffles across the stage, barefoot, at a pace so quick you might worry she'll trip over some stage wiring. She dances with pure abandon; she thrashes across songs like "Spectrum" and "My Love" with the force and intensity of a personal moshpit.

The polish doesn't constrict or corrupt Headlights; everything that might appear as an indulgence only expands the range of an artist who's basically a genre unto himself at this point.
