Access All Areas (also abbreviated as AAA) is the debut studio album by English girl group Flo. It is expected to be released on 15 November 2024 through Island Records.[1]
The album is the group's first full-length project prior to releasing their extended plays, The Lead (2022) and 3 of Us (2023) respectively. It is a contemporary R&B album featuring production from producer MNEK and notable contributions from DJ Camper, Jay Versace, Pop Wansel, Sevyn Streeter, and more.
The album is preceded by three singles, including "Walk Like This," "Caught Up," and "Check" with two promotional singles leading up to the album's official release.
Background
[edit]On 3 July 2023, Flo surprise announced their second EP, 3 of Us as a "gift" to their fans for patiently waiting for new music.[2][3] Before releasing the singles "Walk Like This" and "Caught Up" for the debut project, the group was announced as an opening act for singer Kehlani's Crash World Tour for the fall; coincidentally after the members praised Kehlani's fourth album and fans insisted that they embarked on the tour with the artist.[4]
Prior to the announcement of Access All Areas', the group described the album as a continuation of the legacy of girl groups.
Access All Areas is a labour of love. To us it represents our growth and dedication to making girl group history, to making a project we are truly proud to call our debut album.
— Flo about the album, [5]
Release and promotion
[edit]The album's first single, "Walk Like This" was released on 8 March 2024 after being previewed on TikTok weeks back, and the accompanying music video released a week later. The single was Flo's first single since "Fly Girl" with rapper Missy Elliott in 2023.[6] The group, then, revealed there would be at least 17 songs on the album after posting a picture of an unconfirmed tracklist on a drawing board on social media. On 24 May 2024, Flo released the second single for the album, "Caught Up," along with the visualizer.
On 2 August 2024, Flo released the third single for the album, "Check." After officially announcing the album's title, artwork, and release date on the same month, the group released pre-orders for vinyl, CDs, and exclusive bundles that include an autographed ticket, and three bonus tracks. The group released two promotional songs, "Bending My Rules," which they performed live for Vevo Studios, and the album's title track, "AAA."
