Floetry is the British bred, Philly based soul duo of the Floacist and the Songstress. The group had success from the gate on their first album Floetic featuring hits like the sultry "Say Yes" and "Floetic". They followed with a live LP: Floacism (Live) and now they return for their second studio LP Flo'Ology . The group fuses rapping/spoken word and singing together for a powerful combination and they have texture to their style which sets them apart from many of today's groups.

Featuring production from Scott Storch, Raphael Saadiq, Darren Hinson and Keith Belzer, Whitey & Jared, Matthew Lawrence and The Songstress herself the group talks about love for family, love for that significant other and more. Let's give it a review and then a GeoGlobe rating.

"Blessed 2 Have" is the opening track and comes on like your eyes when waking up for the first time in morning. The track talks about being happy to be breathing, living and doing you! It's a song for inspiration and is uptempo.

"Supastar" features the MC known as Common talking about those superstars in our lives whether they are family, friends or most certainly a budding companion! Common spits his regular lyrics, known to make the men and women nod their collective heads. The Songstress and the Floacist do their thing trading turns in the spotlight and the Floacist's verse towards the end is bad as the beat puts you in another place and she runs right with it!

"Closer" is about coming together on the sexual/personal tip and the mood is set with the music. Not a dance to dance to specifically this track is best served with a special person next to you. It could lead to some really good conversation!

Sometimes relationships aren't working out and people know they wrong for treating that special person like next days garbage! "My Apology" is the song for those people who want to say sorry and hope to patch things up.    The duo goes back to back explain what happened and what needs to happen for the future on a really hot track.   The sexiness of a woman admitting her errors is all through this track and the men who check this out can appreachiate this! I especially love the soft but stern voice of the floacist all over the track making the definition of the word "breathy" an understatement!

As a man I know we don't play all our cards at one time and I'm know women do the same! We are trying to do the same thing: protect ourselves from hurt! "Let Me In" is that knock on the door we all need when dealing with the horrors of previous negative experiences. The two ladies of exception talk about being trustworthy and being ready to be there for that special person despite all the reason not to trust them!

There is time in any friendship/relationship when outside things interrupt the flow and if you are not willing to be there for that other person you'll get left for failure to be understanding! "Lay Down" is the song for those days and situations when sex isn't good enough! Those days when you need consoling and to communicate about what's going on in your life.     Those in good relationships know what I'm talking about and those who don't need to find that person that knows that friendship is so important to any relationship because looks will fade (for most) and things won't always be perfect.

"Feelings" is the classical deep track talking about those deep arrows that hit you in the heart. "Sometimes U Make Me Smile" talks about being so far from that special person whether judged by miles or mental! This song is about memory and that movie or picture in your mind you carry that makes you feel warm when recollecting. For those times when something is good but too volatile for your overall wellbeing there is "I'll Die", a track on guitar heavy track that's sure to please. "Imagination" is hot and heavy and is for those slow sensual times you are with person you want so bad you can taste and "I Want U" is a declaration track over beat very Caribbean sounding.

I love what both artist bring to the table. The arrangement of the lyrics is mean and often reinforces the song's point but not like a traditional Hip Hop/R&B collaboration that is the rule these days. I like the upbeat tempo of the songs and It flows very nicely.   Both artists get a chance to shine on this album. The Songstress voice is powerful and passionate and the Floacist drops knowledge and sounds so good doing it in her British accent! While there are rumors of the Songstress doing a solo deal with Aftermath I hope it doesn't mean the break up of this duo that's like a refreshing drink of water in a musical world of Kool-Aid.

I'll give the LP 4.5 globes. It's for lovers and thinkers too!
