Øyafestivalen. August 13, 2015.

Florence: It’s a big undertaking working with an artist for a whole album. We’ve kind of kidnapped each other in a creative sense. What on earth made you agree to this?

Vincent: I’ve always believed in you and your music, and I trust you. You’re the first artist I’ve worked with that I would cast if I weren’t doing a music video for you. It’s so rare to be able to have this type of freedom and collaboration. I feel lucky to be a part of this, and I hope it never ends. Keep writing songs. Maybe the album could have, like, 40 B-sides.

«Vincent has this amazing ability to get the best out of you without imposing himself. His naturalistic approach to directing brings out the best in me. He’s able to find magic in the mundane and create a storm from stillness.» «I have a deep love and admiration for this woman. Her honesty, creativity and power inspires me daily. Thank you for The Odyssey. We're almost done...but not quite yet.» «We’d made it to heaven. The Odyssey was real. We’ve been all over the world with this.»
