Warner Chappell Music sign Irish up and coming band Florence Road

The all-girl quartet from Wicklow, Ireland, have quickly built a growing, organic, fan base and have caught the attention of influential tastemakers with their free-spirited, carefree sound. The band also recently signed a hotly-contested record deal with Warner Music Group’s Warner Records. 

Having teased some of their unreleased music with tantalising snippets online, Florence Road hint at a lyrical depth that explores the multifaceted nature of youth. Each fragment offers a glimpse into a world rich with emotion, introspection and youthful exuberance, inviting listeners to engage with their evolving narrative.

It’s been a whirlwind of a year for the band. Having recently finished school, the teenagers have signed their deals and have been steadily growing an online fan base through posting a host of cover performances and originals on their social media channels. On TikTok alone, they have amassed more than 10 million likes, and even caught the attention of superstar fan Olivia Rodrigo, who praised their version of 'Obsessed'.

Florence Road said: “We’ve enjoyed a rollercoaster year so far and we couldn’t be happier to partner with Warner Chappell Music on our publishing. Our songs are incredibly important to us and we feel we’ve found a global team who are as protective over them as we are. We can’t wait to start working closely with George, Shani, Amber, Guy and the rest of the team who have all been extremely supportive.” 

George Baker, A&R Manager, Warner Chappell Music UK, added: “We’re thrilled to be working with Florence Road. Ailbhe, Emma, Hannah and Lily have got amazing energy and have already written some incredible songs. They have huge potential and we’re keen to work closely with them to add as much value as possible and help them in achieving what we know they’re capable of.”

Florence Road have also been receiving plaudits for their live shows, recently supporting The Academic at Dublin's Olympia Theatre and playing a much talked about set at the Electric Picnic Festival in Ireland at the end of last summer. More live dates and new music are planned for later this year.
