FLO – A Long Time Coming
Press Release
A Long Time Coming (ALTC) is the new album from the artiste, FLO. ALTC is the memoir and manifesto of a Caribbean-flavored femcee who came of age with a mic in her hand. This full length album dropped on March, 23rd 2018, welcome to the world of FLO, the (s)hero of this show, A Long Time Coming.
An international razor sharp and chic artiste, FLO flows in Creole, English and French to the heart of experiences that make life stunning, even when it’s ugly. 11 out of 12 tracks on ALTC are produced by exXÒs mètKakOla, the Caribbean knight of the Kako sound. FLO also teamed up with another producer, Staniski for her smashing afro-electro single “Work it”.
Kako music is a fusion between the modern and the traditional; sounds of Africa by way of the Caribbean grooved by exXÒs’ electronic music-making method.
FLO released the first single off ALTC, the boombastic Kako Ridah. In the video, FLO invites all to drop their inhibitions, hit the dance floor and get on this journey called A Long Time Coming.The motorcycle-filled-super-phat video was directed by Cigey Design. FLO and exXÒs collaboration on ALTC produces sonic experiences reminiscent of M.I.A. and Diplo when they first flew those Paper Planes over airwaves.
