Flo – Therapy At The Club When FLO release their second album Therapy At The Club on 24th July 2026, it will mark a major turning point for one of the UK’s most exciting contemporary R&B groups. Ambitious, and self-assured, the album captures band-mates and surrogate sisters Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma and Renée Downer stepping fully into their artistry — not only as performers, but as writers, creatives and executive producers shaping every part of their artistry. For FLO, Therapy At The Club represents growth in every sense. “We’re definitely a lot more grown up,” says Renée. “We’ve been a lot more involved, so this really is the best reflection of us at this point in time.” The album’s concept first emerged when the trio were introduced to the title track, “Therapy At The Club,” written with longtime collaborator Lauren Keen. Immediately, the phrase resonated. “It felt like a really good level up,” Stella explains. “It sounded really mature to us… we really wanted to be able to make an album around something really clear, and so it really gave us that direction.” That title quickly became more than just a song. It became the framework for the entire album. Across the record, FLO transforms the club into something symbolic: a place of release, discovery, escapism and connection. Inspired by nights out together, touring experiences and the emotional chaos of early adulthood, the album explores everything from heartbreak and anxiety to freedom and, in particular, the intensity of euphoria. For Jorja, the sequencing of the album was particularly important in telling that story. “I love how it starts in that kind of dark depressive state,” she explains. “You go through the emotions… starting off angry, then being pensive, then reaching that turning point where it’s like, ‘I need to go to the club tonight.’” The emotional journey eventually lands somewhere hopeful and relatable – the club becoming a space where friends convene for catharsis and connection. “Going to the club with each other is the important part,” she adds. “It brings us closer together.” That sense of closeness runs throughout the album. More than ever before, the album highlights the chemistry and bond between the three members — something that has become central to FLO’s identity. Whether through sharp-tongued confidence or vulnerable honesty, the trio constantly play off one another in ways that feel authentic. The lead single “Leak It” captures one side of that energy perfectly. Playful and unapologetic, the track channels what Renée describes as their “most wild selves.” Created alongside producers Julian Bunetta and Steph Jones, the session encouraged FLO to loosen up creatively and trust their instincts. “No idea is a bad idea,” Jorja says of the process. Though they found this freedom challenging at first, it shifted their mindset, urging them towards uncharted creative processes. “Our sessions started with us talking about absolutely nothing, and then a song appeared.” This spontaneity became an important part of the album’s evolution. The group was central to songwriting, producing and sequencing the album – prospects that allowed the group to prove to themselves – and others – that they were artists rather than avatars. “We used this as an opportunity to really be able to hold our own in studios,” Stella explains. “There’s nothing better than impressing the creatives that you’re working with when they realise you don’t just get in front of a mic and do what you’re told. You actually have opinions and ideas.” The title track, “Therapy At The Club,” reveals another side of the album entirely. More introspective and poetic, the song became a defining creative moment for the group. “It was really storytelling,” Jorja explains. “We had to dig deep and find that almost spoken-word emotion to it.” Elsewhere, “Don’t Break My Heart” stands as one of the album’s emotional centrepieces — a friendship anthem that FLO had been trying to write for years. Previous attempts never quite captured the complexity of their relationship, but this time they found the balance. “It needed to reflect our friendship,” Jorja says. “That element of violence is just so FLO… we really will go there for each other.” Renée adds that the final version finally felt true to who they are: sentimental, but still playful and light-hearted. Another standout moment arrives with “Remedied,” a high-energy track inspired by the feeling of getting ready for a night out with friends. Jorja, who wrote the song with Amy Allen and Oak Felder, describes wanting to create “that moment that you’re getting ready for the club with your girls and just having the best time ever.” Influenced by classic pop records, “Remedied” captures the anticipation, chaos and release. Then there is “Cry Ugly,” one of the record’s most vulnerable moments. Stella describes it simply as “a gut song”. Built from primitivity, instinct and impulse, the track reflects the album’s commitment to honesty, even in its darkest moments. Yet like much of Therapy At The Club, sadness never fully overtakes the music. As Jorja puts it, even in heartbreak there’s still room to “do a little two-step.” Throughout the process, FLO pushed themselves to create bigger songs, stronger visuals and a more immersive world around the music. Working closely with creative directors Ciarra Pardo and Anna Boarreto, the trio built an era that reflects the emotional intensity and ambition of the record itself. The album also reflects just how far FLO have come together. Asked what their younger selves would think of Therapy At The Club, the group describe the project as proof of their growth — not only as artists, but as young women navigating adulthood in public. “For our younger selves to listen to this music, they would be very, very proud,” says Renée. Jorja adds that while the group had always believed in their potential, this album feels like the clearest expression yet of their capabilities and creative identity. For Stella, the album captures a genuine coming-of-age moment: “There’s so many different feelings that kid us wouldn’t even know about yet… older me is going to be alright. I haven’t figured out everything, but I figured out some things.” Asked what they hope listeners take away from the album, Stella answers simply: “I hope they’re really proud of us.” With Therapy At The Club, FLO have given listeners every reason to be.
