## Florrie chronology

*Personal* (2023)

**Paradise** (2024)

***Paradise*** is the working title for the upcoming debut studio album by British singer-songwriter Florrie, which is currently scheduled to be released sometime in early 2024.

## Background

A debut album had been highly anticipated and postponed several times since 2011. The strong rumors of a full-length album developed majorly in 2014 and 2016 during Florrie's time being signed to Sony Music Entertainment, when album samplers for these two projects surfaced onto the internet. There were rumors that the 2014 album was titled *Trouble in the Making*, while the 2016 album would have been titled simply *Florrie*.

However, those incarnations of the album were shelved, and since Florrie's last major-label single "Real Love", back in 2016, no music was released until mid-2019, with her single "Borderline". The last news was that Florrie parted ways with her label, Sony Music, and that she was working with new music, as she posted clips of her playing instruments through Instagram and Twitter. Florrie anticipated new music for 2018 releases, but the year ended without any kind of release.

On January 2019, Xenomania confirmed through Twitter that new Florrie music is coming, hinting that they are working with the singer again, after they paused collaborations for the 2016 Sony unreleased album.

In May 2019, a new song, "Borderline", was released for TV series *Grey's Anatomy* and *Younger*. Three more songs followed "Borderline" as singles: "Unstable" (November 2019), "Hell or High Water" (May 2020) and "Butterflies" (August 2020).

In mid-2019, Florrie and her band Capulets, composed by her, Toby Scott and Sarah Thompson, released their debut EP, *Act One*, followed by a second EP,in late 2019 *Act Two*, and a string of four singles during 2020: "Co-star", "You, Me & Her", "Wait" and "Tribe".

In January 2021, Florrie showed interest in releasing a new song every 5-6 weeks. The release campaign began with "Garden", followed by "Hours" and "Walk Away". Later that year, she released "Street Lights", "Human", and "Communicate", followed by "What If I'm Wrong" in February 2022.

During 2021 and 2022, Florrie has made several Q&A through her Instagram Stories, and more than once she has been asked if she would release a studio album. She frequently replied she has intentions to, although she did not reveal any more details. She further stated she was working on an album through comments in different Instagram posts of her profile, which indicates the album could be released sometime in 2022.

Further comments about the album have included Florrie saying, by June 2022, that she is in the process of mixing the songs, that the album is coming in 2022 and that it will include 12 songs, none of which has been released, indicating that none of the 2019-2021 singles will be included. So far, this information has been revealed via Instagram Stories on her official profile, and a formal announcement of the album has yet to be done.

On 31 August 2022, via an InstaStories Q&A, Florrie confirmed *Paradise* to be the current working title for the album. In the same post, a deadline for the album was revealed with date of 26 September 2022, indicating it could be released in the fourth quarter of the year. Furthermore, she has also stated that a new single will be released prior to the album, which did not make the cut for the tracklist. The song, released on September 16, 2022, was revealed to be titled "Falling Back to You".

In late 2022, Florrie shared via InstaStories a snippet of a re-recorded version of "I'm Gonna Get You Back", from her 2012 EP *Late*. Days before this, she had hinted at the possibility of re-recording one song of her early EPs to be included in the album.

In late 2023, Florrie released a compilation album comprising most of her 2019-2022 singles plus a new song, "Personal", which is the title track from the compilation. She clarified it was not her debut album, which is set for "early next year". During a Instastories Q&A, she was asked about the amount of songs included, which she confirmed to be 12. In the screenshot that reveals the album is mastered, what seems to be a date is visible, and reads "March 2" before being cut by the question box. Since March 2, 2024 is a Saturday, it could be more likely that the album is set for release on either March 22 or 29, as both are Fridays. This has not yet been confirmed by Florrie.
