FLO are stepping into a brand new chapter with the announcement of their second studio album, Therapy At The Club, set for release on July 24.
Launching the era in style, the trio unveiled the album’s title track alongside a cinematic trailer that introduces the emotional and visual world behind the project.
With the new album, FLO reimagine the idea of the club, turning it into a place for vulnerability, healing and emotional release rather than just partying.
According to a press release, the project explores themes including love, heartbreak, self confidence and personal growth, all wrapped in darker, euphoric R’n’B and pop production.
The album was created with an impressive lineup of collaborators including Amy Allen, Steph Jones, Julian Bunetta and Boy Matthews, while longtime creative partners Skippz, Oak Felder and Sevyn Streeter also returned to work on the record.
The trio also played a major role behind the scenes, earning extensive songwriting and production credits across the album, making it their most creatively involved project to date.
Opening up about the release, members Stella Quaresma, Jorja Douglas and Renée Downer shared: “We’re incredibly proud to finally share Therapy at the Club, our sophomore album with the world. It’s a body of work that feels super personal to us, it’s been a labour of love… For us, the club is more than just a night out, it’s like therapy.”
They also explained that the album captures exactly where they are emotionally and creatively right now, describing the project as “honest, evolving, and unafraid to feel everything.”
The announcement arrives alongside the release of the title track, which fans first heard during FLO’s viral NPR Tiny Desk performance. It also follows the success of lead single Leak It, which became the group’s highest charting solo release in the UK and earned more than nine million video views in less than a month.
The British R’n’B pop trio continue building momentum after their debut album Access All Areas received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Progressive R’n’B Album, making them the first British girl group in 20 years to be nominated in the category.

Jennie has officially been announced as the Saturday headliner for this year’s Open'er Festival.
The annual Polish festival will take place from July 1 through July 4 in Gdynia, with this year’s lineup also featuring The Cure, Calvin Harris, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Florence + The Machine, The xx, David Byrne and more.
The K pop superstar is set to headline the Orange Main Stage on July 4. Festival organisers also confirmed additional acts including Viagra Boys, who will perform on the Alter Stage on July 1, and Luvcat, who joins the lineup on July 4.
The announcement adds to an already packed summer schedule for Jennie, who is also set to appear at Mad Cool Festival, Lollapalooza and Governors Ball Music Festival this year.
In a statement shared by festival organisers, they praised the artist’s global impact and influence within pop culture.
“Jennie Kim is one of the most influential female artists of the era. Since debuting with BLACKPINK in 2016, the Korean singer, rapper, and fashion icon has amassed over 55million monthly listeners on Spotify and nearly 90million followers on Instagram. She continues to shape global trends and remains a dominant figure in pop culture.”
The statement concluded: “Wanna rock like Jennie? You got it. See you at Orange Main Stage, July 4!”
Last year, Jennie released her debut solo album ‘Ruby’. In a four star review, NME described the project as “a bold, self-assured debut”, with critic Crystal Bell writing that the album sees Jennie fully take control of her image and artistry after years of public scrutiny.
The review added that with ‘Ruby’, Jennie establishes herself not only as a global star but also as “a fully realised artist” with a clear creative vision and growing artistic confidence.
Earlier this year, BLACKPINK also announced their new mini album ‘Deadline’, marking the group’s third EP and their biggest release since 2022’s full length album ‘Born Pink’.
