FLO: The New Era of R&B Girl Groups

Their latest release, "Caught Up," continues to showcase their signature harmonies and contemporary R&B flair. The song delivers a powerful message about self-worth and staying true to oneself, warning a deceitful lover to resist temptations or face the consequences. The accompanying music video, directed by Ganna Bogdan, features the trio on a desert road trip, visually capturing the essence of their narrative.
FLO burst onto the scene with their debut EP "The Lead," which included the hit single "Cardboard Box." This track dominated social media, propelling them into the spotlight and earning them accolades such as the BRITs Rising Star Award and a spot on the BBC Sound of 2023 list. Their meteoric rise is a testament to their talent and the public's craving for the revival of classic R&B girl group vibes.
Their follow-up single, "Walk Like This," further cemented their place in the industry, garnering praise from Rolling Stone, Uproxx, and Vibe. This success was followed by their fan-favorite EP "3 of Us" and the Missy Elliott-assisted single "Fly Girl," which secured their first UK Top 40 hit. FLO’s ability to blend nostalgic R&B elements with modern twists has garnered them a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim.
FLO's success isn't just limited to their music. They have made significant waves with their live performances, including two standout sets at Coachella and upcoming shows at major festivals like Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, and Reading and Leeds. Their live shows are a testament to their performance skills and the infectious energy they bring to the stage.
Raised by single mothers, the members of FLO attribute their confidence and independence to their upbringing. This self-assurance is a recurring theme in their music, which often focuses on themes of empowerment and resilience. They have managed to capture the essence of 90s and early 2000s R&B while infusing it with their unique contemporary style.
Despite their rapid rise, FLO is acutely aware of the challenges that come with sustaining success as a girl group. They are determined to avoid the pitfalls that have historically plagued similar groups, maintaining a strong and united front. This awareness and preparedness signal their potential for longevity in the industry.
As they prepare for the release of their debut full-length album, FLO is poised to take the R&B world by storm. Their blend of timeless R&B sounds, modern production, and empowering lyrics make them a standout act in today’s music scene. FLO is not just a group to watch—they are the future of R&B girl groups, bringing a new era of soulful, harmonious music that resonates across generations.
