Florence + The Machine to Provide Soundtrack for FIFA Women's World Cup 2015
By: Caryn Robbins
Music from Grammy Award-nominated English rock band Florence + The Machine provides the backdrop for FOX Sports' coverage of FIFA Women's World Cup 2015(TM) when the tournament begins later this week. Fox Sports has gained the rights to all 11 songs featured on Florence + The Machine's new album, "How Big|Brave , How Blue, How Beautiful," along with nine additional cuts from her catalog, including hit songs "Shake It Out" and "Dog Days Are Over."
The title track from "How Big|Brave , How Blue, How Beautiful" is used to close coverage most nights, while other songs score coverage elsewhere, a few providing the musical backdrop to some of the more than 60 team and player features produced specifically for FOX Sports' FIFA Women's World Cup 2015 coverage. The track "Mother" plays in a story about U.S. Women's National Team player Christie Rampone - a mother of two who turns 40 during the World Cup, and "Third Eye" accompanies a feature on the artistic USWNT midfielder Megan Rapinoe, a guitarist, style aficionado and openly gay.
