“It’s kinda weird because people are like, ‘These girls popped out of nowhere,’ and we’ve been together for three years, we’ve been making lots of music together,” Renée Downer tells Apple Music. Downer, Jorja Douglas, and Stella Quaresma make up the trio FLO, a London-based R&B girl group who turned viral fame into chart success this year with the release of their infectious throwback “Cardboard Box.” The MNEK-produced hit amassed about 2 million streams within a month after its release.
Before forming FLO, Downer and Quaresma knew each other from school and only knew Douglas from social media; it wasn’t until meeting each other at an audition that they hit it off. “Chemistry-wise, it’s always been there, from the beginning; that’s what made us become the three of FLO,” Quaresma says. “Obviously, you have your whole team, but it’s not the same as having two people who are like your sisters doing it at the same time.” In an interview with Apple Music’s Dotty, the group discussed their dream collaborations, their group chat with R&B singer Brandy, and the goals they would like to achieve within the next five years.
