Alongside three of her band members and a 10 piece Gospel choir from New York, Florence played a set that included well known tracks like ‘Dog Days Are Over’, ‘Cosmic Love’, ‘Shake It Out’ and ‘No Light, No Light’. Florence also offered up two brilliant covers of Johnny Cash’s ‘Jackson’ as well as a beautiful rendition of ‘Try A Little Tenderness’.

Earlier that day, Florence and Kanye West had been hanging out at an abandoned house in the outskirts of NY for a US vogue shoot with Annie Lebowitz. She invited him to the show, which he came to with Q –Tip before all heading off to the afterparty, held by Florence & Josh Homme at New York’s legendary Cabin. Tracklisting: 1. Only If For A Night2.
