Flo’s Pieces of me Album won the Western Canadian Music Award for Urban Album of the year in 2012. The WCMAs took place in Regina, Sask.,during BreakOut West 2012 (a music conference and festival) and the gala featured performances from Mangan, Indian City and Sarah MacDougall and 2012 Hall of Fame inductees, the Northern Pikes.

FLO – Pieces of Me (MFM)
FOR her second full length album, Winnipeg-based urban singer-songwriter Florence Oramasionwu has created nothing less than an exceptionally hot set of tracks that, in a just world, would send her to the very top of the overly crowded genre.

Miss O, or Flo as she goes, has the kind of vocal power and sass that only a select few divas possess, and her ability to shift gears from intense ballads to sticky and sweet dance tunes and back to between-the-sheets scorchers is the stuff of future legends. Heck, with the right combination of luck and timing, this gal could hit the big time.

By teaming up with well-positioned producer Arun Chaturvedi, Oramasionwu has practically sealed the deal toward larger recognition. Fans of this kind of music will have their favourite tracks, but anyone with ears will get the popping joy behind My Song and the delicious old-school soul vibe of the sensuous You Showed Me. Sophomore slump? Not this time. ****

Pieces of Me, the second (and recently Western Canadian Music Award nominated) album from local soul/pop powerhouse Flo, couldn’€™t be more aptly named. Like the woman behind it, the new record is positive, encouraging, upbeat, strong and beautiful and reminds you that you are, too.

Produced by WCMA winner Arun Chaturvedi, Pieces of Me comes as the decidedly more up-tempo follow-up to 2007’€™s self-titled debut.

“Personally, I really wanted (this record) to be more upbeat,” explains Flo (aka Florence Oramasionwu). “The first album, I was proud of the process and the result, but one of the vibes of my personality that didn’€™t really come through was how upbeat I am. It was sort of mid-tempo and more jazzy, which is great, but sometimes you just want a beat! I wanted songs people could dance to.”

That said, Flo wasn’€™t interested in making songs that people could dance to at the expense of quality lyrics.
