FLO is redefining the narrative in a music industry that has long missed the harmonious power of girl groups. The London-born trio—Georgia, Stella, and Renee—bring a fresh yet nostalgic energy to the scene, blending the golden era of 90s R&B with modern-day flair. During their media dinner in Dallas, I had the chance to speak with them about their journey, their artistry, and the forces driving their meteoric rise.
Performing at Coachella last year was a defining moment for the group. For many artists, it’s a dream stage, and for FLO, it was no different. Georgia reflected on the experience, sharing how surreal it felt to be on that iconic stage. “It was a bucket list moment. Growing up, we saw Coachella as this dream stage, and to perform there and see the crowd grow was surreal.” That performance marked a milestone, solidifying their place not just as rising stars but as a movement breathing new life into the genre.
In an industry often shaped by co-signs and validations from legends, FLO has earned the respect of some of the biggest names in music, including the iconic Missy Elliott. Renee lit up when discussing Missy’s support during their early days. “She didn’t have to show us love, but she did. It’s humbling to know someone who influenced our music believes in what we’re doing.” It’s this kind of encouragement that fuels their drive to honor their influences while carving out their own legacy.
Their journey as a girl group in today’s music scene carries its own unique challenges and triumphs. FLO’s presence answers a call that fans have been making for years. “People have been craving a girl group,” Georgia explained. “We’re honored to bring that dynamic back, especially as women are dominating music right now. It’s empowering to see people resonate with what we’re doing.” The trio’s chemistry—both on and off the stage—is a testament to their commitment to each other and their shared vision.
Their current single, “In My Bag” featuring GloRilla, showcases their ability to seamlessly collaborate while staying true to their sound. Stella revealed that the track’s instant appeal made it an easy choice. “We knew the song was special the moment we heard it. We wanted a strong rapper to join us, and GloRilla brought the perfect energy. She’s such a girl’s girl, and working with her was everything we hoped for.” From the recording studio to the music video set, the collaboration was a celebration of women owning their power.
As they continue to navigate an evolving industry, FLO remains grounded in their identity as artists and as individuals. “Being young and navigating an evolving industry can be tough,” Georgia admitted. “But nothing speaks louder than three Black women who know what they want and aren’t afraid to stand their ground. We’re lucky to have each other as a unit.”
For fans eager to see FLO in action, their Access All Areas tour promises unforgettable performances, including a Dallas stop on April 11th. “We’re bringing all the energy,” Renee teased. “So grab your tickets and join the journey.”
FLO is more than a girl group; they’re a symbol of resilience, empowerment, and the timeless allure of R&B. As they continue to rise, their voices will undoubtedly echo far beyond the charts, inspiring a new generation of music lovers.
