Chloe Bailey has been blazing a trail and all, it appears, is leading up to the release of her debut solo album.

Having risen to prominence as part of a duo with her sister Halle, the 23-year-old has spent much of the last year showcasing her own musical gravitas.

The first taste of Bailey’s solo flavor was Billboard hit ‘Have Mercy’ and now she’s gearing up for follow-up ‘Treat Me’ – as well as her launch LP.

That Grape Juice was on-hand at the premiere of ‘Atlanta’ season 3 in Los Angeles this week and caught up with the star on the blue carpet.

In a brief but telling moment with TGJ’s Shar Jossell, Bailey made clear what her project will be serving up. Check out the interview above and be sure to let us know…
