The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2024 - Issue 36

bitenewmusic fter the release of their highly anticipated de- but album, Access All Areas , which reached #3 in the UK album midweeks, BRITs Rising Star award winners FLO treated fans to a special mini-de- luxe edition, Access All Areas: Unlocked . The release sees the intro narrated by actress and singer Cynthia Erivo and collaborations with some of the hottest names in R&B and rap to reimagine multiple album tracks. US R&B girl duo Chloe and Halle Bailey infused their signature harmonies into fan-favourite ‘Soft’, while Ke- hlani brought her unmistakable edge to ‘IWH2BMX’. Bree Runway added a bold touch to ‘Nocturnal’, and DIXSON delivered a fresh perspective on ‘Bending My Rules’. These remixes accompany the much-lauded VEVO live performance of ‘Bending My Rules’. FLO also released the official music video for the single ‘In My Bag’ featuring GloRilla. Directed by Troy Ro- scoe and choreographed by Sean Bankhead, the music video follows the girls and GloRilla as they conduct a heist with a twist. ‘In My Bag’ is an energised humble brag, pairing bass-heavy rhythms with irresistibly sug- ared vocal stacks. After supporting Kehlani on their Crash World Tour, which saw FLO play arenas across North America, the trio announced their 2025 Access All Areas UK and Eu- rope tour. Kicking off in Copenhagen on 2 March, the tour marks their most significant event to date. They will also play shows in Paris, Stockholm and the UK, including a headline show at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. www.flolikethis.com FLO In My Bag Image credit:Tom Emmerson
