Chlöe
The high-energy and supremely confident pop-R&B singer, songwriter, and producer -- well-known as an actress with roles dating back to her early childhood -- first stepped out by modernizing the show tune standard "Feeling Good."
One-half of the Grammy-nominated sibling duo Chloe x Halle, Chlöe has been active separately as a solo and featured artist since 2021.
Chloe Bailey started working on material for her first solo LP in 2019, between the Chloe x Halle albums The Kids Are Alright and Ungodly Hour. She appeared on her own in 2021, first with “Feeling Good,” contributed to the compilation Liberated/Music for the Movement, Vol. 3.
A few months later, she issued her debut solo single, “Have Mercy,” which peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 (number ten R&B/hip-hop) on its way to achieving platinum status.
Chlöe continued moving toward the release of her first album. “Pray It Away” and the Chris Brown collaboration “How Does It Feel” appeared respectively in January and February 2023, and were followed in March by In Pieces. Made over the course of three years, which Chlöe described as the toughest period of her life, In Pieces featured additional assistance from the likes of Missy Elliott, Future, and Metro Boomin. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 119. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
