When it comes to the modern R&B girl-group revival, FLO are at the head of the pack. The London-formed trio—Jorja Douglas, Renée Downer and Stella Quaresma—adapt signifiers from the greats (folkish acoustic guitars, honey-gold harmonies and vibrant production) and give them modern polish. FLO debuted in 2022 with the MNEK-produced “Cardboard Box”, a pull-no-punches viral hit about exacting revenge on a cheater, and followed that with Destiny’s Child-reminiscent songs such as “Not My Job” and “Summertime”. The group continued to dabble in throwback ’90s and 2000s R&B on 2023’s 3 of Us—the members’ collective love of the soulful icon Brandy is particularly strong, and a cover of JoJo’s “Leave (Get Out)” for the Apple Music Home Series is a standout—while stand-alone singles like the self-empowered slow jam “Losing You” and 2023’s Missy Elliott-featuring “Fly Girl” offer additional musical depth.
