FLO  Access All Areas

The record is an overstuffed and underwhelming string of forgettable tunes – not banger or stirring torch song between them The Independent

The trio bring gorgeous vocals and spiky attitude to 90s-facing songs – but they need a little more of that era’s oddball invention, as well as an undeniable hit The Guardian

FLO  Access All Areas
