FLO, Therapy at the Club
Due July 24, 2026 | Republic Records | 16 tracks
Few groups enter a sophomore album cycle with as much momentum as FLO. The trio's debut, Access All Areas, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album — the first such nomination for a British girl group in two decades. The album debuted at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart, marking the highest-charting release by a British R&B girl group in 23 years, following Mis-Teeq's Lickin' On Both Sides, which also peaked at No. 3 back in 2001. In the U.S., Access All Areas peaked at No. 163 on the Billboard 200 and No. 20 on the Top R&B Albums chart. The Access All Areas Tour then marked one of the most ambitious U.S. headline runs by a British girl group since the Spice Girls era.
Therapy at the Club frames the nightclub as a setting for confession and emotional release — covering the arc of a night out from preparation to the morning after, blending dark R&B with pop and diaristic storytelling. That's the group's own framing, not a critic's projection. Collaborators on the 16-track project include Amy Allen, Julian Bunetta, Oak Felder, and Sevyn Streeter, and FLO have been notably more hands-on in the writing room this time around.
Early signals support the ambition. Lead single "Leak It" pivots toward something sharper and more contemporary than the early-2000s R&B nostalgia FLO built their name on. The title track, produced by Lostboy, Leroy Clampitt, and Lauren "Amma" Keen, takes a different approach entirely — a soulful, piano-led ballad first previewed during their NPR Tiny Desk session in February. Two singles, two distinct moods. Whether the full album delivers on that tonal range is a question only July 24 can answer — but the case for watching closely is already made.
