Chlöe Bailey has gone viral on social media several times in recent months. The Beyoncé protégé made waves when she posted cover versions of songs like Cardi B’s “Be Careful” and Drake’s “Marvins Room.” Plus, she made headlines for her rendition of “Feeling Good” on Good Morning America.
Fans of Chlöe Bailey can also look forward to her solo album arriving in the near future. According to the Grown-ish cast member, the forthcoming body of work has been in the works for at least two years.
“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,” said Chlöe Bailey.
