Chlöe Bailey may have sent her dedicated fans (affectionately called #Chlovers) into a frenzy with the surprise news that ‘Trouble in Paradise,’ her sophomore album and follow-up to 2023’s critically acclaimed ‘In Pieces,’ would drop on Friday (August 9).
Yet, the LP’s tracklist – loaded with stars like Anderson. Paak, Ty Dolla $ign, YG Marley, and others – sent buzz for the project into overdrive, especially once music lovers got confirmation the R&B diva was set to reunite with her singer-actress sister Halle Bailey.
Ample teasing for the reunion – their first joint recorded effort since 2020’s ‘Ungodly Hour‘ – came to fruition via the ‘Paradise’ song ‘Want Me,’ a slow-burning track about unrequited love.
“Why is it the ones wе don’t want that want us? / Why is it the ones that we lovе and we trust, they just get up and leave? / Why is it the ones we don’t want that want us? / The harder I want you, the less you don’t want me,” Chloe croons on the Bongo & Subrosa-produced song.
