Chloe Bailey Discusses Finding Her Voice With Brand New Solo Album

Chloe Bailey sat down with Billboard to discuss her upcoming solo album. The young singer/actress is set to release the first single from the album, “Have Mercy”. Highlights from her interview are below.

On her upcoming album: “It’s 90% done. 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.”

On how the creative process differs than when she is working with her sister, Halle: “When my sister and I create, we don’t try to dim the other’s light, so the creative process for me has been exactly the same. Now it’s just me in my bedroom. But it was a little scary in the beginning, because [I was used to] having Halle be there to ask, ‘Is this sounding good?’ Having her sign of approval meant so much to me. Now I have to be my own voice and be proud and confident in what I bring to the table.”

On her goal for this album: “f course, I wanna get some hits with this project. That’s always a fun thing. But I just wanna have fun and let people get to see the real me.”
