FLO's style derives from R&B and hip-hop, particularly from the 1990's and 2000's. This style is further accentuated by their music videos, with the music video for "Cardboard Box" inviting comparisons to the likes of TLC and Destiny's Child.
There are also other artists using "FLO" as their name.
1) Italian folk/world, folk-jazz singer.
Flo is surely one of the most eclectic and versatile personalities in Italian Musical Scene .
As a very singular singer and songwriter, she was able to mix her musical experiences (from the musical “C’ era una volta…Scugnizzi” to the collaboration with musicians as Lino Cannavacciuolo and Daniele Sepe) in her peculiar style, in which languages and sounds melt in her powerful singing.
In 2011 she started her solo career after meeting guitar player and composer Ernesto Nobili. Very soon percussionist Michele Maione and Cello player Marco Di Palo Joined the duo, forming the 4tet that still nowadays is beside her.
Her music evokes an immense south, is the chronicle of towns and lives suspended in time and space, among pity and disenchantment,
and the sound is groovy, rootsy and contemporary at the same time .
In 2014 “D’amore e di altre cose irreversibili” , her first solo album is released by Agualoca Records, having enthusiastic reviews all over europe and a good success among fans.

2) FLO grew up with a passion for music. He began singing and playing guitar at the age of 5. It wasn't until he reached high school that he began to tap into the artform of hip hop. FLO was born into a Christian home and his parents raised him to understand the reality of God and took him to church where he was educated by the word. He knew the truth but strayed away from it throughout his highschool years. He was under the influence of the wrong crowd and became a follower.

Hızlı döndüğünde ise varamazsın gideceğin yere
Tutamazsın akan suyu
Tutamazsın akan suyu
Dikkatli yürüsen de sarsılırsın rüzgar darbeleriyle
Ben artık bir toz haline geldim
Tutamazsın akan suyu
Tutamazsın akan suyu
... ve beni al
Az da olsa bir umut ışığı getir bana
Gör beni ...
... ve sevdiğini söyle
Sözler yetersiz olsa bile
İnsanlar seni dinlemese bile
İnsanlar yalan söylese bile
Her zaman gülümserler onları aldatan adamlara
Tutamazsın akan suyu
Tutamazsın akan suyu
Gel ve beni al
Artık dinlemezsin gerçi
Gel bana ...
... ve benim için artık bir yabancı olduğunu hatırlatayım sana
Amansız bir düşmandır zaman
Kötü bir üne sahip
Amansız bir düşmandır zaman
Zaman ve cesaret...
Bir elin içindedir dünya.
Gözler dikenlidir
Çiçeksizdir hatıralar
Bir sessizlik yaratmıştır evrende
Tutamazsın akan suyu
Tutamazsın akan suyu
Kalmak için hiç bir neden bulamazken
Kalmak için hiç bir neden bulamazken
Tutamazsın akan suyu
Tutamazsın akan suyu
Gel ve beni al
Yeni bir şarkı yapacağım
Yine de bul beni
Kişiliklerden ötürü idrak edemez kimileri
Amansız bir düşmandır zaman
Kötü bir üne sahip
Amansız bir düşmandır zaman
Karşımıza çıkanlara gıpta bile ediyoruz bazen
Bana dokunduğun zaman
Aşkı öyle gerçek hissettiriyorsun ki
Ayaklar altına alabiliyorum bir çok şeyi
Amansız bir düşmandır zaman
Kötü bir üne sahip
Amansız bir düşmandır zaman
Zaman ve cesaret...
Amansız bir düşmandır zaman
Karşımıza çıkanlara gıpta bile ediyoruz bazen
Bana dokunduğun zaman
Aşkı öyle gerçek hissettiriyorsun ki
Ayaklar altına alabiliyorum bir çok şeyi
The lyrics of fLO's song "Ça ne tient pas la route" reflect on the irony and unpredictability of life. The first verse describes the feeling of trying to find balance while the world keeps spinning around. It is only when moving too fast that we realize we cannot control our destination or the flow of time, just like we cannot hold onto water. Even if we try to proceed carefully, we can still be shaken by the wind. The singer confesses to feeling like nothing but dust, unable to grasp the passing of time. Despite this, he pleads for someone to come and take him away, bringing some hope and love in the midst of uncertainty and disappointment.
The second verse contrasts the inadequacy of words with the resilience of human nature. Even if people do not listen or tell lies, they always smile at those who deceive them. The chorus repeats the phrase "Tutamazsın akan suyu" (You cannot hold onto flowing water), reinforcing the idea that life is ephemeral and transient. Despite the apparent pessimism, there is a sense of defiance and determination in the way the singer calls for someone to come and take him away, promising to make a new song and reminding us that love can make us feel alive.
The bridge reflects on the frailty of memories, the silence of the universe, and the lack of reasons to stay when everything seems to fall apart. The singer acknowledges the human tendency to envy those who seem to have it better, but also highlights the transformative power of touch and love, which can make us feel invincible and regain a sense of purpose.
Overall, "Ça ne tient pas la route" conveys a sense of existential questioning and emotional turbulence. The lyrics touch upon universal themes such as the passage of time, the search for meaning, and the power of love, while also acknowledging the limits of our control and the inevitability of loss and change.

Dünya dönerken etrafında dengeni bulmaya çalışırsın
As the world spins around you, you try to find your balance
Hızlı döndüğünde ise varamazsın gideceğin yere
But when it spins too fast, you can't reach where you're headed
Tutamazsın akan suyu
You can't hold onto flowing water
Dikkatli yürüsen de sarsılırsın rüzgar darbeleriyle
Even if you walk carefully, you can be shaken by wind strikes
Ben artık bir toz haline geldim
I have become dust now
Gel ve beni al
Come and take me
Az da olsa bir umut ışığı getir bana
Bring me a glimmer of hope, no matter how small
Gör beni ve sevdiğini söyle
See me and tell me you love me
Sözler yetersiz olsa bile
Even if words are not enough
İnsanlar seni dinlemese bile
Even if people don't listen to you
İnsanlar yalan söylese bile
Even if people lie to you
Her zaman gülümserler onları aldatan adamlara
They always smile at men who deceive them
Artık dinlemezsin gerçi
You don't listen anymore
Gel bana ve benim için artık bir yabancı olduğunu hatırlatayım sana
Come to me and let me remind you that you're a stranger to me now
Amansız bir düşmandır zaman
Time is a relentless enemy
Kötü bir üne sahip
It has a bad reputation
Zaman ve cesaret...
Time and courage...
Bir elin içindedir dünya.
The world is in the hand of one person.
Gözler dikenlidir
Eyes are prickly
Çiçeksizdir hatıralar
Memories are without flowers
Bir sessizlik yaratmıştır evrende
A silence has created in the universe
Kalmak için hiç bir neden bulamazken
When you can't find a reason to stay
Yeni bir şarkı yapacağım
I will make a new song
Yine de bul beni
Still find me
Kişiliklerden ötürü idrak edemez kimileri
Some people cannot comprehend due to personalities
Karşımıza çıkanlara gıpta bile ediyoruz bazen
Sometimes we envy those who come across us
Bana dokunduğun zaman
When you touch me
Aşkı öyle gerçek hissettiriyorsun ki
You make love feel so real
Ayaklar altına alabiliyorum bir çok şeyi
I can let go of many things
