The British R&B trio FLO is set to release their sophomore album 'Therapy at the Club' on August 7. The group, consisting of members Stella Quaresma, Renée Downer, and a third member, has shared insights into their creative process with Billboard. They
emphasized the importance of being outspoken in the studio, which has significantly influenced the album's development. This approach marks a departure from their previous work, as they have become more involved in the album-making process, ensuring that the music and accompanying visuals accurately reflect their artistic vision. The album follows their debut 'Access All Areas,' which earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album.

FLO's decision to take a more active role in their creative process highlights a broader trend in the music industry where artists seek greater control over their work. This shift can lead to more authentic and personal music, resonating more deeply with audiences. For FLO, this evolution not only represents artistic growth but also positions them as role models for other artists who may feel constrained by traditional industry practices. The success of 'Therapy at the Club' could further solidify their place in the R&B genre and influence how emerging artists approach their craft.
