July 4, 20231 yr As great as it is to have new music from them, I can't help to worry that this is a sign that they have no idea of what to do with them after their obvious shot at a chart hit failed.
July 4, 20231 yr They just don’t miss for me I love all 3 songs :wub: They said on Instagram Live , these songs are just appetiser/ something for the fans before the Debut Album comes out which I think is a smart move as they’ve performing Control Freak and Change in there live setlists already as well. There still aiming for the album to come out this year.
July 4, 20231 yr As great as it is to have new music from them, I can't help to worry that this is a sign that they have no idea of what to do with them after their obvious shot at a chart hit failed. I’m not concerned. I think this is a happy medium to keep the fans happy with some new material whilst they narrow down their more commercial stuff. As great as these songs are (especially ‘Control Freak’) it is obvious none of these would be the best follow up for ‘Fly Girl’, so the fact they have recognised this, kept their fans off their back and happy for a few more months and have got a few more songs to play live to beef out their live shows this summer, I think it’s a win win.

Eh, I guess, but on the other hand I'm just afraid they'll end up like M.O. and end up releasing endless EPs and "buzz singles" only to eventually peter out without releasing an album. It's hard to get around the fact that they threw everything at Fly Girl to make it a hit and it reached #37 and then out.
July 7, 20231 yr I'd be concerned but unlike M.O, they have a huge fan base and are selling out shows even in the US and worldwide! They obviously have a lot of appeal, they just need to find a song that sticks so I'm not too worried.

It's hard to get around the fact that they threw everything at Fly Girl to make it a hit and it reached #37 and then out. I mean... it depends on what you deem as success I suppose. I don't think FLO as an R&B band are going to have the appeal of Little Mix or any of these girlbands who get #01's. Also I don't really agree about throwing everything at 'Fly Girl', they released it and then I didn't see a massive amount of promo? There were no big TV performances in the UK booked, I actually remember how I was surprised at how quickly they moved on from the 'Fly Girl' campaign... in my opinion they could have defo wen't harder with it than they did. It has become their biggest song alongside 'Cardboard Box' which was exactly what they needed in that moment. I also think that FLO have gained a steady and loyal fanbase and don't seem to just be throwing things out there for the sake of it.. the fact they are taking time to get the album right is a good thing for me. There is no way we aren't getting an album by Q1 next year. I think even with the fanbase they have now, a debut album could easily clear 8-10k first week and give them a lovely first album peak. That would be a success to me (but again, it depends on what kinda success you are expecting).
