Chlöe Bailey steps out of her comfort zone

Though many know Chlöe Bailey as a part of the dynamic duo with her sister Halle Bailey, she more recently voiced her pursuit of going solo.

In spite of some critics disapproving of her previous performance to Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good,” she continues to persistently create her own lane unapologetically. With the high anticipation for her new single’s arrival, she’s also hinted at a full length-project on the way.

In a recent interview with Billboard, she stated,

“I’m creating my own lane, as well as paying homage to the ones who have inspired me. It has been fun finding my voice,” she said. “I started working on this album in 2019, a month or two before the pandemic hit. I put a pause on it so my sister and I could promote Ungodly Hour, but in between, I was in my bedroom creating at night. I’d be making my own beats and working on songs and ideas for this project that I knew would come, I just didn’t know when.”
