Chlöe Bailey’s highly anticipated sophomore album, Trouble In Paradise, was released on August 9, 2024, receiving a warm reception from both longtime fans and new listeners. The album features 16 tracks, beginning with “All I Got (Free Falling)” and including the Ty Dolla Sign collaboration “Might As Well.” It also includes previously released favorites like “Boy Bye” and “FYS,” along with contributions from artists such as Anderson .Paak, YG Marley, and Jeremih.

A highlight of the album is “Want Me,” which marks a reunion with her sister Halle, their first collaboration since 2020’s Ungodly Hour. Several tracks, including “Same Lingerie” and “Strawberry Lemonade,” are accompanied by visualizers on Chlöe’s YouTube channel.

i love how "Want Me" feels like a Chloe song featuring Halle, rather than a Chloe x Halle track. it's beautiful how they've each found their individual voices, so now when they come together, it feels like two distinct worlds merging seamlessly. i’m really happy for them.
