FLO Takes Over Houston: A Night of R&B, Vibes, and Real Talk
L-R : Jorja, Stella, Renee
Last night, FLO, the rising British R&B trio, graced Houston with their presence for an exclusive private media dinner, meet and greet, and interview session at RAIN HTX. The intimate setting allowed select media representatives, including 2LOUD Magazine, to engage in deep, meaningful conversations with Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma, and Renée Downer**—the powerhouse vocalists redefining the modern girl group experience.
The evening was more than just an introduction to their artistry; it was a testament to their undeniable chemistry, resilience, and passion for pushing R&B to new heights. As guests dined, FLO shared insights about their meteoric rise, the evolution of their sound, and the making of their debut album, Access All Areas, which has already made waves on the UK Albums Chart and Billboard 200.
A New Era for Girl Groups
Since their breakout hit “Cardboard Box” took social media by storm in 2022, FLO has continued to prove that R&B girl groups are not a thing of the past—they’re just getting started. Winning BBC Sound of 2023, earning a BRIT Award for Rising Star, and being nominated at the BET Awards, the trio has quickly solidified themselves as a global force. Their ability to blend 90s nostalgia with modern production has resonated with fans yearning for a return to harmonies, storytelling, and soul-driven melodies.
The Houston Connection & What’s Next
Houston, a city rich with musical history, has always embraced soulful artists, and FLO’s visit was met with enthusiastic support. They expressed excitement about expanding their reach in the U.S. market, connecting with their growing American fan base, and possibly collaborating with some of Houston’s homegrown talent.
As the night came to a close, FLO hinted at upcoming tour plans, more collaborations, and a continued push for R&B’s global resurgence. If last night was any indication, FLO is not just another girl group—they’re the next great act to watch.
