When you’re in a girl group where style is key, having no nails isn’t ideal—especially if you’re on set for a cover shoot. “Hey, babe, can we get through this video, I promise we will glue all of those nails back on,” I say gently to Jorja for a quick pep talk, one of the three members of Flo. “I had acrylic nails on, but they made me take them off for this shoot,” she responds, with a pout that a supermodel would envy.

00:00I think that we are just trying to have fun. We're trying. Very hard. But we just like to do what we want to do. We like to make the music that we want to make. And people are going to like it or they're not going to like it.
00:27But I think the most important thing is that we are authentic and remain ourselves.
00:33Hey, we're Flo and welcome to our Essence Girls United Proudershoot.
00:41I feel like there's been like a drought in the girl group scene. So, you know, we're new, we're fresh and people feel like our sound is nostalgic.
00:52So it's definitely like a new thing that's exciting for people to look forward to.
00:58I guess it's like a new generation. So like we see things differently and like different views on things and there's new music.
01:06And so we have different influences. So it's just like a new age. It's just different. It's not the same as girl groups you've heard before.
01:13Although we take so much inspiration from them. It's like a new, fresh life.
01:26We all had similar upbringings and we all like grew up listening to the same music so we can like bond over that.
01:32And that makes making music so easy and so good. Yeah. Yeah. We obviously love like 90s and 2000s R&B, but honestly, like when we go to the studio, we don't want to recreate that.
01:45Like, it's just what we listen to. So it's just what we make.
01:48Destiny's Child.
01:49Destiny's Child.
01:50Like, yeah.
01:51Let's just be real.
01:52Yeah.
01:53Yeah.
01:54Let's be honest.
01:55They're just such an inspiration. Like, they really made girl group history and they really like, they're just up there. So it's just like, blueprint.
02:03I would say to like, when I hit mentorship, I just think of Eminem K. Yeah. Yeah. He is like, someone that really gives us honest advice. I feel like a lot of people sometimes tell us kind of like, the usual, like, a lot of people that we just like, meet as we like, you know, see them. Yeah. At events and things like that.
02:24They just kind of give us like, the same very like, general advice. But because Eminem K knows us so well, he's able to give us like, real, real talk.
02:40We never went on Twitter anyway. We weren't 20 people. Now we're on it all the time. It's very fun. But no, not at all. Definitely not. I think we knew it would do okay anyway, but not to the extent that it did.
02:53I'm an old girl.
02:54It's the best feeling ever because we work so hard and we've been together for so long and we like, have like fought for the songs we want to release and fought for like, how we want to be represented. So to have everybody else back us and like, love us and show us so much support, it's like.
03:10Yeah, so much. Yeah, amazing.
03:12But they're all really cool. When you meet them, especially here. Yeah, they're just cool. Yeah.
03:17It's like, it's like free. Like auditions close. Yeah. We've already got, we've already branded ourselves.
