We (desperately) want that ol’ thing back.
muni long’s “made for me” hit different,
didn’t it?
it’s like a love letter to the golden days of R&B,
it fed our nostalgia-starved many of our millennial hearts.
it gave heavy midnight love:
let’s get into FLO,
the UK trio who teamed up with missy for “fly girl“:
…and delivered a sound so 90s/2000s it feels like a time machine.
of course,
many are out here calling their music “dated”.
funny tho…
Considering they could’ve hyped up the current R&B gals like Chloe Bailey,
whose album is decomposing at the bottom of the charts.
Instead,
they’d rather push twerk anthems that flop,
blue-eyed soul from white vixens,
or 2-minute tracks with zero bridges.
FLO said,
forget all that,
and brought the vibes back to when R&B actually was good.
honestly,
we’re better for it.
keep the nostalgia coming,
ladies.
check out flo’s new album,
“access all areas“.
check out their first EP:
lowkey: i wish they would have put that missy track on this album.
another lowkey: i really like mary’s new album,
gratitude.
I like the FLO record much more than I thought. And was surprised whenI liked the ballads more than the “uptempo” tracks. I want them to have an undeniable uptempo, not sure if MNEK can deliver.
Gratitude was my other musical surprise. Wasn’t crazy about “Breathin” but really liked the other tracks.
