With Little Mix performing their final Confetti Tour dates ahead of the band's indefinite hiatus next month, there's a sense of concern among pop fans as to who'll fill the UK's girl group quota. For decades, we've had a steady source of female representation atop the charts; from Girls Aloud and Sugababes dominating the noughties to The Saturdays' stint as purveyors of pop in the 2010s.
But, while we'd initially worried the girl band landscape was barren following Little Mix's announcement, things are looking up; and it's all thanks to FLO.
Meet Renée Downer, Stella Quaresma and Jorja Douglas: a new girl band for the '20s, asserting themselves at the forefront of the noughties renaissance with their new single Cardboard Box.
They've already caught the attention of Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, earned themselves an Instagram follow from SZA and bagged themselves an acclaimed hitmaker in the form of MNEK. So, let's find out a little more about FLO.

FLO explain: "Cardboard Box is one of the first songs we wrote as a group and during the process we opened up about relationship struggles and experiences of moving on from an ex. It was a special bonding moment and feels fitting that it’s our debut single!
"We are over the moon about our first child entering the world and we want people to feel refreshed and empowered - like it’s okay to close a bad chapter of your life!"
