Uproxx cover star Chlöe wants her music to step for itself. Today (August 5), the “Have Mercy” singer announced her sophomore album’s official title and release date.

Over on her official X (formerly Twitter) profile, Chlöe shared the news with her followers by way of a steamy vacation photo. She seemingly confirmed that the enticing neon visual was the forthcoming project’s official cover art, as she wrote: “A storm is coming. Trouble In Paradise, 8/9 🌊.”

While most supporters were excitement for the reveal, others shared their concerns over Chlöe’s decision to forgo a traditional rollout.

But in the singer’s eyes, this isn’t a worry she shares with her Clovers (super fans). Although the tracklist hasn’t been revealed, over on the upcoming album’s pre-save webpage the music video for her past song “Boy Bye” is prominently embedded, a record Chlöe has spoken at length about.

Also, the songwriter’s Instagram feed served as a hint as to her creative direction this go around. While her risqué vacation flicks received all the attention, clips of her hard at work let the public into her next musical era beyond her solo debut, In Pieces.

Chlöe’s rhythmic reign continues. Tonight (April 12), the stellar R&B act has shared her new single, “Boy Bye,” after teasing it for the past week.

When speaking of the song in a statement, Chlöe described “Boy Bye” as “an anthem for anyone who needs to get rid of someone toxic and draining from their life. It’s liberating and free.” Over an energetic, dance-ready beat, Chlöe has decided that she’s done putting up with a man’s sh*t. Unafraid to let go and start anew, she gives this man the ultimate kiss-off.

“I was always loyal, always takin’ the fall / When we were together you were never involved / If we bein’ honest, it was never my fault / You just gave a little while I gave you my all,” sings Chlöe on the song’s chorus.

In the accompanying video, Chlöe is seen emerging from a trailer, and she’s ready to hand it to a deceitful ex. After cussing him out, Chlöe embarks on a road trip with her girlfriends, letting go of all the pain and heartache. As she grows empowered, the video makes a surprising turn. But as the credits roll, we see who she does it all for — those persevering through a broken heart.
