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.

FLO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Telling lies while getting high, uh
Didn't take long to discover
You use your eyes as a disguise, oh, I
Wanna be one, the one you don't run from
But you're making it hard
Don't think that you're that someone
Ooh, I, I
Won't waste my time
Get out my mind
You ain't mister right
You're just another guy
Won't waste my time
Get out my mind
You ain't mister right
You're just another guy
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Another guy
Ah, ah, ah
Delete my number out your phone
'Cause I'm not picking up no more
You ain't welcome in this home
'Cause love doesn't live here anymore
Wanna be one, the one you don't run from
But you're making it hard
Don't think that you're that someone
When it comes to love, you be actin' nonchalant
Don't know why you're tryna front, playin' games, you're not the one
Won't waste my time
Get out my mind
'Cause you ain't mister right
You're just another guy
Won't waste my time
Get out my mind
You ain't mister right
You're just another guy, guy, guy
Guy, guy, guy, guy
In "another guy," FLO is expressing her frustration with a man who is constantly lying and using his eyes to deceive her. She seconds guesses her judgment of him and admits her feeling of wanting to be the one he chooses. However, his behavior towards their relationship is indifferent and he doesn't truly value her. She decides that her time and energy are better spent elsewhere, and therefore she's deleting his number and kicking him out of her life.
The song captures the universal experiences of disappointment and disbelief from a partner who does not meet your expectations. It demonstrates a sense of strength and control over letting go of someone who no longer deserves your attention. FLO affirms that she's not willing to waste any more time on someone who doesn't meet her standards and recognizes that love doesn't live here anymore.
