Backstage With the Next Big Girl Group • THE MEMBERS of the British R&B trio FLO — Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma, and Renée Downer — are still getting acquainted with tour life. “Living out of a suitcase is so stressful,” Quaresma says. “Honestly,” Douglas agrees. “But at least we’re doing it together.” After winning fans online with tracks like last year’s single “Cardboard Box” and their recent Missy Elliott collab, “Fly Girl,” FLO spent this spring on the road in the U.S. for the very first time. “It’s nice to see someone with a fan account at a show,” Quaresma says. “Not only did they show up for you online — but they came out to support you in real life.”
