BRITs Rising Star award winners FLO announce their highly anticipated debut album ‘Access All Areas’, out November 15th, 2024 via Island Records.
FLO’s debut album ‘Access All Areas’ is a bold statement that cements their arrival with unapologetic confidence. Executive produced by MNEK, the album effortlessly blends rich tones of R&B and soul with pitched up original samples and futuristic production to create a sound that is both nostalgic and forward thinking. With contagious hooks, stunning harmonies and candid, relatable lyricism, ‘Access All Areas’ serves as a manifesto for the group, highlighting their no-holds-barred approach to songwriting and life. The album delves deep into the themes of love, sisterhood and navigating life as three young Black women, offering fans an intimate glimpse into their experiences. Speaking about their debut album FLO said:
“Access All Areas is a labour of love. To us it represents our growth and dedication to making girl group history, to making a project we are truly proud to call our debut album.”
‘Access All Areas’ marks FLO’s first project since 2023’s surprise fan EP ‘3 of Us’ and 2022’s debut EP ‘The Lead’. It continues to build on the success of the past couple years, which has seen them become the first group to ever win both the BRITs Rising Star Award and the BBC Sound Poll in the same year. The group have since gone on to earn endorsements from the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, SZA, Victoria Monet, Kelly Rowland and more.
FLO have also announced a special AAA party at Hackney’s Colour Factory on August 29th to celebrate the album announcement. The party will feature a live performance from FLO with pre-sale tickets going on-sale from 9AM BST on Wednesday 28th August for fans who pre-order a physical album. Next month, FLO will also join Kehlani as a support act on her upcoming Crash World Tour. Kicking off in Minneapolis on September 4th, the huge 30+ date tour will see FLO perform at massive arenas and venues across North America including LA’s Kia Forum and Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena to name a few.
