FLO announce sophomore album Therapy At The Club and share tender title track
FLO announce sophomore album Therapy At The Club, share tender title track; the record arrives July 24 via Republic Records.
FLO have officially announced their second album, Therapy At The Club, and released its melancholic title track ahead of the record’s July 24 arrival via Republic Records. The trio—Renée Downer, Stella Quaresma, and Jorja Douglas—also opened pre-orders for the project. Visit here to pre-order.
The album rollout began with a cinematic trailer on the night of May 6, showing the group stepping out of a black cab and taking command of a club room set to the pulse of lead single “Leak It.” It was a tidy visual summation of the aesthetic shift the group says the record aims for: darker, euphoric R&B and pop textures that foreground desire, heartbreak, confidence and the slow work of healing.
Therapy At The Club reframes nightlife as something closer to a rite than a recreation. The club becomes less a backdrop and more a confessional, a place where release and self-possession play out across the hours of a night out—tension, reckoning, small consolations. That framework is explicit in the music and in the way FLO have positioned this project as an emotional arc rather than a collection of singles.

“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,” the group said. “For us, the club is more than just a night out, it’s like therapy. I mean, where else do you feel more understood than in a girls bathroom on a night out…that’s the vibe!
“We’ve been very hands-on with the writing and creation of this project alongside our very special collaborators, and that’s made it even more meaningful to us. This album represents where we are right now – honest, evolving, and unafraid to feel everything. We really hope you love it!”
The newly released title track leans into FLO’s signature modern R&B while trading some of the debut’s effervescence for a more melancholic, reflective mood. The opening verse lays the tone plainly: “A bottle of ’42 helps to ease the pain/ Don’t really care if I’m the one you blame/ ‘Cause when it comes down to it, it’s a lonely world/ When it comes down to it, I’m a lonely girl.”
That single was first aired during their recent NPR Tiny Desk appearance, and the release arrives at a moment when FLO have cemented themselves as one of the few British R&B acts making measurable waves on both sides of the Atlantic.
Last month, “Leak It” became the group’s highest-charting solo single in the UK to date. In 2026 they performed at the MOBO Awards—where they also picked up their first MOBO, Best R&B/Soul Act—and appeared at the Universal Pre-BRITs showcase. Their debut era was no small feat: Access All Areas not only spawned a hit record but propelled FLO’s tour into the record books as the biggest US headline tour by a British girl group in nearly two decades, while their debut album became the highest-charting release for a British R&B girl group in 23 years.
Those milestones shape how FLO talk about the new record. At the Universal Pre-BRITs showcase they told NME the project represents a step up in intensity. “It’s definitely an elevation to what we’ve done before. We have really grown, and it’s showing in the music,” Renée Downer said. Jorja Douglas added that fans “can expect it to be a bit more intense, in every way.”
Stella Quaresma emphasized the trio’s collaborative advantage: “In the recent process, we’ve been writing separately as well as together. So while we might all love the same thing, we come at ideas from different angles. We’ve seen that both in the writing and in the production. That’s what’s so great about there being three of us. It’s not too many, so it’s easy for it to come together really nicely.”
Those comments, and the gutsier sonic choices hinted at across the trailer and singles, suggest Therapy At The Club is designed to consolidate the group’s pop-R&B identity while pushing its emotional range. Coming off a debut that cleared commercial and cultural hurdles, FLO now have the latitude to explore less immediately radio-friendly moods and still command attention—turning the club from a stage into a space for introspection. Whether that gamble pays off commercially will matter, but artistically it signals a group willing to trade easy hooks for a steadier narrative arc, and that alone feels like progress.
