Music Is My Weapon

The Neo-Soul Movement may best be illustrated with Flo'Ology 's Floetry. 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, songstress Marsha Ambrosius and floacist Natalie Stewart 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).

Floetry are ahead of so many contemporary R&B acts in a number of ways. First, rather than being within the box, like the formula many producers have crafted for R&B divas, Floetry choose to looks outside of the box, with one half devoted to pipes and the other devoted to poetry and alterative rap. Furthermore, rather than trying to sooth couples to the dance floor, Floetry look to preserve the "sanctity" of soul, an avenue that only few singers try today and successfully pull it off (for instance Angie Stone, Alicia Keys, Vivian Green, and Jill Scott).
