FLO return with their sophomore album Therapy at the Club, a 16-track collection that doubles down on the trio’s biggest strength: timeless R&B vocal chemistry wrapped in sleek, modern production. Following months of anticipation, the British group delivers an ambitious record that balances confidence, vulnerability and late-night escapism, even if its expanded runtime occasionally works against its overall flow.
Released on August 7 after a brief delay due to Jorja Douglas’ precautionary vocal cord surgery, Therapy at the Club arrives at an important moment for FLO. The trio spent the first half of 2026 building momentum through singles including “Leak It,” “HaterBooth,” and “Remedied,” while teasing a project inspired by the feeling of finding comfort in conversations shared in a girls’ bathroom during a night out. That concept remains present throughout the album, with polished R&B, glossy pop production and emotionally direct songwriting forming its foundation.
The clear standout is “Leak It.” Already one of the year’s defining R&B singles, the track remains the centerpiece of the album. Built around an addictive bouncing beat, crisp percussion and razor-sharp harmonies, the song radiates confidence from start to finish. Each member gets room to shine, while the chorus lands with effortless precision. Lyrically playful and musically explosive, “Leak It” doesn’t just rank among the best songs on Therapy at the Club—it comfortably stands as one of the strongest pop and R&B releases of 2026 and arguably the finest song FLO have released to date.
The album reveals a different side midway through its tracklist. “Sober” strips away the heavier production in favor of soft instrumentation and understated R&B arrangements, allowing Jorja Douglas, Renée Downer and Stella Quaresma’s vocals to take center stage. Their control, harmonies and emotional delivery become the focus, creating one of the project’s most intimate moments. Rather than interrupting the pacing, the quieter direction provides a welcome contrast after several high-energy cuts.
That atmosphere carries naturally into the title track, “Therapy at the Club.” While slightly fuller in its production, it preserves the emotional warmth introduced by “Sober.” Together, the two songs create one of the album’s strongest stretches.
Elsewhere, “Touché” embraces a playful, unapologetic attitude through buoyant production and sharp lyricism, while “Don’t Break Her Heart” channels classic late-‘90s and early-2000s R&B with a heartfelt celebration of female friendship. Both tracks benefit from the trio’s signature vocal interplay, a quality that continues to separate FLO from many of their contemporaries.
Where Therapy at the Club occasionally stumbles is its length. At 16 tracks, the album loses some of the cohesion that made its predecessor, Access All Areas, feel so focused. A tighter sequence could have elevated the emotional arc and strengthened the overall listening experience. Several songs remain enjoyable on their own, but the extended runtime slightly dilutes the impact of the strongest material.
