FLO Says Learning to Speak Up in the Studio Changed Everything on ‘Therapy at the Club’
British R&B trio FLO have discussed the making of their upcoming second album, "Therapy at the Club," due out on 7 August, revealing that a key shift for this record was learning to be more vocal and assertive in the studio. The group say that pushing past discomfort to voice honest creative feedback fundamentally reshaped their process, resulting in an album they describe as more grown-up and reflective of who they are as both artists and women. This matters because it marks a notable evolution from their Grammy-nominated debut, showing a group taking greater ownership of their sound and image.
The 16-track album includes previously released songs "Leak It," "Don't Break Her Heart" and the title track, alongside unreleased tracks such as "Floating," "Cry Ugly," "HaterBooth," "Miss U Missing Me" and "Small Doses." Members Stella Quaresma and Renée Downer explained that speaking up, even when it felt confrontational, left the group in a better creative place, and that this newfound confidence also extended to visuals, with the cinematic "Leak It" video created to better match the ambition of the music. The album follows the success of their debut, Access All Areas, which reached No. 20 on the Top R&B Albums chart in late 2024 and earned FLO a Grammy nomination for best progressive R&B album.
