Flo Rida Promotes Good Feeling Down Under

Flo Rida’s new EP Good Feeling is in Australian music stores today, and the man himself won’t be too far behind. The American urban artist will visit Australia for a promotional tour between April 11 and 15.

It promises to be a busy time for Flo, who’ll meet his fans at Sydney and Melbourne’s shopping centres and rub shoulders with television’s elite at the Logie Awards.

I might be showing my age, but in my day in store appearances happened in shopping centres. These days it seems all the fun’s moved to the car parks. Flo Rida will appear at the level 8 car park in Westfield Parramatta at 4 pm on April 12 before jetting to the car park opposite Plaza Centre Way at Eastland Shopping Centre at noon on April 14.

Will you catch the Flo?

Jessica Mauboy’s "Running Back" with Flo Rida

Jessica Mauboy’s well and truly shed her poppy Young Divas image with her slick new single “Running Back.” I can’t say I like the song’s sentiment (where’s the girl power?) but there’s no denying that it’s catchy. Jess is also in fine voice here. When she was competing with the other Divas I almost forgot how well she sings! Everything Flo Rida touches turns to gold, so his appearance here is sure to make “Running Back” a hit. It definitely deserves to be!

Flo Rida Runs with Jess Mauboy

Flo Rida is adding a dose of cred to the first solo album of former Young Diva and Australian Idol runner-up Jessica Mauboy. The hip hop megastar joins Jess on her first solo single, “Running Back.”

It appears Jess may follow in Ricki-Lee Coulter’s footsteps. Ricki-Lee’s career flourished once she left her Diva band mates, and if the hype is any indication Jess will taste the same success. The Darwin teen is already being compared to Rihanna by some industry insiders for her strong vocals and songwriting prowess.

“Running Back” will hit radio in the next couple of weeks. Jessica Mauboy’s debut album will be released early next year.

Flo Rida Announces Aussie Tour

It seemed like “Low” had the number one spot in Australia for an eternity, so I’m sure there are plenty of folks excited about the news that Flo Rida is bringing his show Down Under.

Sadly for some urban music fans, he’ll only visit Sydney and Melbourne. He’ll hit the Queensbridge Hotel in South Melbourne on August 29 before playing Luna Park’s Big Top in Sydney the following night. Hopefully, the gigs will go well enough to encourage the soul superstar to come back and explore more of our fine country.

Ticketek will sell tickets for both shows from 9 am on Monday 21 July.
