Blending their unique concoction of sensual sound and poetic justice, Floetry is set to return to the musical landscape with their third CD, Flo'ology. This time, Marsha Ambrosius (the Songstress) and Natalie Stewart (the Floacist) remain true to form by uniting passionate vocals and elegant spoken word with the rhythms of classic soul, funk and a little bit of island spice! But while the tried-and-true formula that worked so well for Floetic garnered praise by critics and gave the London duo a devoted fan base is the same, the pair are quick to point out the differences between Flo'ology and the themes exemplified on their six-time Grammy nominated debut album and its follow-up Floacism (Live)."First, there's no headache on this album," says Stewart, who as a poet, draws her songwriting skills from both articulating her personal thoughts and experiences, as well as translating her observations. "Flo'ology is less about victimization. It's about women taking more responsibility for what goes on in our lives. On the first album, Marsha and I were 21 and 23. Now that we're a bit more mature, we've come to a better understanding of ourselves and naturally that's reflected on the album.""Plus, we're just more aware that we were creating an album this time," Ambrosius interjects. "With Floetic we made a bunch of songs without necessarily realizing we were making an album. It was more of a demo situation. At the right time, the right place, we walked into a studio in Philadelphia and didn't really grasp the situation like we could have. It was the perfect way to make that album and I think everybody would be happy if they got Floetic again, but Flo'ology is the next phase in our lives, in our music."

Flotastic.......2007-07-21
Floetry have released an album much better than their first Floetic although that one is still worth a mention but that is another review altogether.
You will not be disappointed. This a great CD for sitting back and taking it all in. Put it on while driving, sitting outside while watching the world go by or when you have a special someone over for some background music. Just beautiful!
Beautifal sound, harmonies throughout.......2007-02-24
Floetry has a classic here..........2006-11-28
This album identifies with many of us, and touches on some real areas. Talk a deep listen, (with a good sound system) and feel the Flology, class is in session.
2.5 stars - below average.......2006-11-10
These sister flow.......2006-11-01
