Chlöe Bailey - In Pieces

[Vasilios]

Literally just rewatched that VMAs performance before coming into this thread. Despite all the chaos in the world at that time, Chloe x Halle felt like such reliable mood-boosters and like they had quality assurance under control.

I have a lurking suspicion that this album is going to have quite a few skips based off the Bhris Clown collab and my absolute apathy towards "Pray It Away." Let's hope this album has songs as promising as "Body Do" sounds.

This is me. Before those two zzzs I had her as an all killer kinda gal.

Me, when I see that three songs are a minute or less long:

Worried

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

So she left out the only songs that charted for….interludes

 

[Laurent]

3 interludes and 6 songs under 3 minutes.

Girl, keep it.

Peculiar business decisions are the common denominator in both their careers.

[superultra]

This album finna be nothing but vignettes and TikTok tracks, innit?

The absolute lack of faith in these replies... She really managed to squander all the goodwill from the Ungodly Hour era, huh?

 

[Vasilios]

Was there any? Ungodly Hour was amazing and possible aoty or Top 5 of but was barely certified tennis court green and I don't think it drew any attention or build anticipation for her solo stuff.

We’re not talking about the general public though. We’re talking about her core demographic: mid-20s to late 30s gays with varying degrees of daddy issues and social anxiety that’s exploited on Twitter for likes and validation.

They don't care sis these are Ava Max gays now



Anyway slaps a bit

We’re not talking about the general public though. We’re talking about her core demographic: mid-20s to late 30s gays with varying degrees of daddy issues and social anxiety that’s exploited on Twitter for likes and validation.

This is a bit of a misunderstanding about her demographic. Going on her social media presence, she has plenty of women who follow her also - and were understandably the most vocal about her Chris collaboration. Not to mention... I think 30 is an exaggeration ddd.

It's worth considering that her and Halle have a lot of carry over from Bey's fanbase (probably 50-60%) and the rest are young fans from her TikTok presence. Gays are typically fickle, and while they'll buy Ivy Park in its droves, supporting startup artists on their fav's label actually doesn't translate very often. A lot of the sisters' fanbase are young black women judging by my for you page on TikTok and the fans I've interacted with since ~2016 on social. When Drop was on a loop before the Formation World Tour, the gays were typing 'orgy in 3rd floor toilets!!!' and grabbing their £18 vodka crans from the Wembley bar.

I was only referring to the generally quite positive reception of Ungodly Hour around here. In terms of the GP, I absolutely agree with you. Launching her solo career without at least one well-known, commercially successful Chloe X Halle album has always seemed rather premature.

 

[Verandi]

A track called "Cheatback" featuring serial cheater and collector of baby mamas Future is... a choice!

Stream Ciara's incredible catalogue for clear skin and good fortune x

 

[enhanced CD]

I feel like Chloe x Halle were becoming the kind of sophisticated yet tween friendly R&B act we haven’t seen since Brandy and Destiny’s Child, and her solo career has been a reaction to that

Screaming at “vignettes.”

 

[Someboy]

The membership of Popjustice is not her core fanbase. That isn’t to say this demographic’s interests may not align with her fanbase’s, but that’s a coincidence of, not the purpose of, her marketing.
