In what could be the least surprising piece of music news today, UK supergroup FLO have been announced as winners of BBC’s Sound of 2023.
Through all the years that we’ve run Alfitude, we’ve hardly ever seen a new outfit pick up as much momentum as these ladies have in such a short space of time. Speaking on their win, they say:
“Wow, we did it! To win this accolade not even a year after we released our debut single Cardboard Box is wild. We feel so connected to our British music roots winning the BBC Sound Of and admire the artists who have come before us, especially our gal Pinkpantheress winning last year! Thank you to everyone who voted for us and put girl groups back on the map. To be recognised for our music and people to believe in our vision inspires us to go further this year! 2023 we’re ready!”
With more than 100 million global streams to date, FLO have already established themselves as the UK’s biggest new girl group.
