Synthesized chords creep in while the piano crescendos into a jazzy haven of syncopated rhythms. Florence + the Machine is known for harp-sprinkled power ballads driven by voluminous and resonant vocals.

The psychedelic pop genius of Oracle Spectacular wouldn’t be nearly as adventurous without the vision and direction of producer Dave Fridmann. Would there even be Snoop Dogg without Dr. Dre? M.I.A. without Diplo? I [...]
