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.
Cardboard Box
FLO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think I want you anymore
There's no room for questions
I saw her panties on the bathroom floor
Been puttin' up with this for far too long
You ain't gonna change, boy
What's the point in stringin' me along?
So I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks
When you can't get in, oh, your heart gon' stop
You may be cryin' but boy, I'm not
I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks
Never liked your mama so I guess she's blocked
You may be cryin' but, boy, I'm not
Stressin' (stressin')
Do you hear a stutter in my words?
I see it as a blessing (see it as a blessing)
Come take your shit 'cause you can go stay at hers
I hope that shit was worth my wasted time
But could she do it like I do
You need someone to put you back in line
So you gon' see what I do
I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks
When you can't get in, oh, your heart gon' stop
You may be cryin' but boy, I'm not (boy, you may be cryin' but I'm not)
I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks
Never liked your mama so I guess she's blocked (oh, oh)
You may be cryin' but, boy, I'm not
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
So I'ma put your jeans next to the dreams that you sold me
Believe karma is a B and she guaranteed
So I'ma put your gold chains down the drain and your Rollie
Might just drop a text to your homie
I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks (changin' the locks, yeah)
When you can't get in, oh, your heart gon' stop
You may be cryin' but, boy, I'm not
I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box
Changin' my number and I'm changin' the locks (locks)
Never liked your mama so I guess she's blocked (she's blocked)
You may be cryin' but, boy, I'm not
Jeans next to the dreams that you sold me
Might just drop a text to your homie
You may be cryin' but, boy, I'm not

The singer believes that this is the best course of action, as her partner needs to be reminded of the consequences of his actions.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I'ma put your shit in a cardboard box" as the singer packs up her partner's belongings, including his jeans, gold chains, and Rolex watch.

Ultimately, the singer is resolute and determined to move on from the relationship, even if her partner is left behind in tears.
