British girl group FLO showed they were ready to take the world by storm with their feisty brand of R&B on their debut single “Cardboard Box.” Since then, their subsequent EP The Lead has more than proven that their time is now. Just in case y’all didn’t get the memo, though, they’re prepared to back up their potential once again with the release of their newest single “Not My Job.”
The trio once again turns to frequent collaborator MNEK and songwriter Tré Jean-Marie to help them craft another potent kiss-off anthem. This time, however, they blend their harmonies with instrumentation that utilizes buzzy synths and a rock sensibility to get their point across.
“It’s so cool to be part of the legacy of Apple Up Next artists,” FLO shared in a statement. “So many incredible musicians have come before us. How are we in the same breath as Tems and Victoria Monét?! We can’t wait for more people to learn about the world of FLO and why girl groups are so important. We don’t take the fact that we are the first R&B girl group to be part of the campaign lightly and we hope to inspire more young women to make the music they love without boundaries. Let’s take the lead!!”
In their Up Next short film, fans learn of the group’s origin, goals, and dream collaborations. To coincide with this announcement, they’ve also released their new single, “Not My Job.”
“We are obsessed with ‘Not My Job’ and feel like every single day we say ‘it’s not my job’ to someone,” the women expressed. “Everyone solves issues other people have created, whether it’s in a romantic relationship, family drama or at work, and sometimes you just gotta say, ‘It’s really not my job.’”
In addition to the new single, the ladies were also tapped by Apple Music as the latest artists they deemed as Up Next, placing them in the company of artists like Billie Eilish, Khalid and Koffee. Listen to “Not My Job” below when you press play, and stick around to watch a preview of their Apple Music Up Next documentary, which can be seen in full via the streaming service.
