Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart, who both attended the Brit school in Croydon, sold an amazing 700,000 copies in the US of their debut, which earned them six Grammy nominations.

Fresh from touring in the US with the The Roots, Queen Latifah, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, Floetry are quick to point out the differences between Flo'Ology and the topics covered on their debut 'Floetic' and its follow-up, Floacism (Live). This time, the duo's lyrics span the spectrum of romantic relationships. On up-tempo grooves like "My Apology" and "Let Me In," Floetry offer a sophisticated look at the often-confusing aspects of matters of the heart. On "Lay Down" and "Imagination," they each delve into the sensual side of love. "Waiting In Vain" - a remake of the classic Bob Marley song - and the ballad "Feelings" explore the effects of unrequited love. "Flo'Ology is about women taking more responsibility for what goes on in our lives," explains Stewart. "Now that Marsha and I are more mature, we've come to a better understanding of ourselves, and naturally that's reflected on the album."

Still working with some of the same producers that were part of the musical force behind the first album, Floetry also enlisted the musical talents of beat genius Scott Storch on "My Apology" and the 1st single "SupaStar" featuring Common. Other featured producers include Rafael Saadiq ("Imagination") and Whiteleaf Productions ("I'll Die," "Closer").

Natalie and Marsha met for the first time as rivals on the basketball court in South London, the pair became friends and it was during this time that they decided to join together to form Floetry. Receiving praise in London for their live performances, Floetry journeyed to Philadelphia to conquer their passion for music and this is where they met their manager Julius Erving III, the son of hoop legend Dr. J., and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Floetic followed in 2002 and they went on to pen songs for Michael Jackson ("Butterflies"), Jill Scott, Glenn Lewis, Bilal and most recently, the chorus for the Styles P hit "I'm Black." Marsha is credited for the background vocals on Justin Timberlake's hit "Cry Me a River" and is featured on The Game's "Start from Scratch."

Floetry have performed 160 live shows each year since the release of Floetic, and they will be returning to the UK for a 5 date residency at the Jazz Café from 14th-18th December.
