Chloe x Halle are laying it all on the line.
The sisters cover Cosmopolitan, where they talk everything from Black Lives Matter, to making music, and self-acceptance.
Full story below:
On the Black Lives Matter movement Halle says:
“Music has been such a healer for the Black community since the beginning of time. Maybe it could help some people distract their minds from quarantine and what’s going on in the world today with hope and positivity.”
While the R&B singers preach positivity, it was not as easy for them to experience while making ‘Ungodly Hour,’ saying:
“We got in our heads and were creating the worst stuff. Even the beats I was making were trash.”
However, the pair turned these feelings into fuel for the album, saying:
“There came a moment when it was just like, you know what? We do music because we love it. And we love the way it makes us feel. It’s our right to be creative and do anything we want.”
This ultimately led both of them on a journey of self acceptance, which helped to fuel the new music. Halle said:
“I have to let go and say, ‘Listen, this might be in my life plans, it might not be, so I’m going to see what happens and use this juice for creativity.”
Chole echoed her sister’s sentiments, saying:
“Anytime something doesn’t work out, it’s not really healthy to say, ‘I was the reason it messed up.’ I’m still learning that. I’m learning that your happiness, you can’t put on someone else.”
While their journey may have been a personal one, it led the sisters to create ‘Ungodly Hour,’ which has landed on several publications lists of the best albums of the year.
