Emerging from London, FLO is a British girl group redefining contemporary R&B with a nostalgic touch. Formed in 2019, the trio comprises Stella Quaresma, Jorja Douglas, and Renée Downer. Their harmonious blend and modern twist on classic R&B have garnered them significant attention and accolades.
Stella and Renée's journey began at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, where their shared passion for music laid the foundation for what would become FLO. The duo discovered Jorja through her captivating singing videos on Instagram, completing the trio. After two years of refining their sound, they debuted with the single "Cardboard Box" in March 2022. Produced by MNEK, the track quickly gained traction on social media platforms, earning praise from artists like SZA and Victoria Monét. This momentum led to the release of their debut EP, The Lead, in July 2022, which was lauded for its confident and authoritative sound.
In November 2024, FLO unveiled their much-anticipated debut studio album, Access All Areas. The album showcases their evolution, blending smooth harmonies with assertive tracks that celebrate empowerment and self-love. Collaborations with artists like GloRilla on tracks such as "In My Bag" highlight their versatility and commitment to pushing the boundaries of modern R&B.
Here are some of FLO's most viewed and celebrated songs:
"Immature": Released in July 2022, this track delves into the frustrations of dealing with an uncommitted partner, highlighting the group's vocal prowess and relatable lyricism.
"Not My Job": Part of the deluxe edition of The Lead, this song emphasizes personal boundaries and self-respect, resonating with many fans for its empowering message.
FLO's innovative approach has not gone unnoticed. They have received several awards and nominations, including the Brit Award for Rising Star and topping the BBC Sound of 2023 poll. Their music continues to resonate, earning them spots on prestigious lists and recognition from industry veterans.
As they continue to evolve, FLO stands poised to make a lasting impact on the global music scene, blending nostalgic R&B elements with contemporary flair to create a sound uniquely their own.
