FLO has shared a mini-deluxe edition of the group’s recently released debut LP, featuring four new collaborations. 

Access All Areas, the first full-length release from the British girl group, arrived Nov. 15 via Island Records and is currently standing at No. 3 in the latest midweeks of the U.K’s Official Albums Chart. FLO has now teamed up with some of R&B’s leading names to reimagine songs from the record.

Titled Access All Areas: Unlocked, the updated version sees sister duo Chlöe x Halle contribute vocals to “Soft,” Kehlani featuring on “IWH2BMX,” Bree Runway on “Nocturnal” and Dixson on “Bending My Rules.” Actress and Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, meanwhile, narrates the album’s intro. “Our girls found each other / And meticulously prepared a feast for our ears,” she says on the track.

Access All Areas: Unlocked is finally out and we can’t wait for everyone to listen,” FLO said in a press release. “We really admire these artists and couldn’t be happier to have them feature on our new music. From the lyricism, to the harmonies to the sweet melodies and flows they all delivered! This is only a mini deluxe, so stay seated for more.”

The band has also shared the music video for single “In My Bag” featuring GloRilla, who landed a top 10-charting effort on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart Oct. 26 with her Glorious project. Describing their experience of working with the Memphis rapper, FLO said jointly, “In My Bag is such a special song to us. It’s a manifestation … singing it live for our fans has been incredible because everyone in the room feels empowered and seen!”

They continued: “Glo is such a deserving, incredibly talented and sweet artist who we really admire. When she said she’d love to do a verse on In My Bag we were so happy because we knew she would kill it! We’ve loved working with her and are looking forward to everyone watching the video we shot together in Atlanta.”

Comprised of vocalists Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma and Renée Downer, FLO first emerged in May 2022 with the release of single “Cardboard Box,” which landed high-profile co-signs from SZA and Victoria Monét. The group has since gone on to win the BRITs Rising Star award, feature on a remix of Stormzy’s “Hide and Seek” and top the BBC Sound Of poll. In March 2023, FLO’s Missy Elliott collaboration “Fly Girl” reached the Top 40 of the Official U.K. Singles Chart.

In March 2025, FLO will tour the U.K. and Europe in support of Access All Areas. Along the way, they perform at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, as well as sold-out shows in Paris and Cologne. Tickets can be found the group’s website
