Chlöe Previews Debut Album With Angelic “Pray It Away” Single & Visual

by

It’s been a long time coming, but the rollout for Chloe Bailey’s debut solo album is finally underway. Today (January 27), the project’s first single, “Pray It Away” made its mark across DSPs as the Atlanta songstress reflects on a toxic relationship that only a higher power can help her through.

As Rated R&B notes, Chlöe co-produced the track alongside ThankGod4Cody, ECassshh, Pitt Tha Kid, and Puredandy. Unsurprisingly, her vocals shine bright all through the over two-and-a-half-minute-long song, not to mention in the Madeline Kate Kann-directed visual.

“Can’t talk to my friends ’cause they hate you too / And if the option’s violence, don’t make me choose it,” the obviously scorned lover sings on the pre-chorus. “God knows my heart, I’m wildin’, wildin’ / So close to doin’ somethin’.”

As she hits every note in the accompanying music video, Bailey also expertly performs choreography by Cortland Brown.

Earlier this week, the performer revealed that her first solo album, In Pieces, will arrive sometime this March. Speaking on the work she’s put into the upcoming effort, Chlöe said, “I have been the rawest, the most vulnerable, and the most open I have been in my entire life with this album.”

“I used to believe the way I love so hard without question, was a curse. Only to find out, it’s been my greatest gift all along.”

Stream Chlöe’s emotional “Pray It Away” single on Spotify or Apple Music below. Additionally, make sure to check back in this weekend for more new release recommendations on our R&B Season playlist.

Quotable Lyrics:

I am not trippin’, I know he disloyal
Should’vе let him leave on me, not really love him
‘Cause when things go bad, that’s when I get crazy
And when I get angry, the gun is off safety

Chloe Bailey Delivers New Single "Pray It Away," Debut Album Set for March

Chloe is back with the latest single from her forthcoming debut album, In Pieces. The single is “Pray it Away.”

In the new single Chlöe falls for the wrong person and goes to chapel to pray her anguish away. The song “Pray It Away” is backed by an official video shot in a historic church in downtown Los Angeles. The video is directed by Madeline Kate Kann.

“I have been the rawest, the most vulnerable, and the most open I have been in my entire life with this album,” Chlöe says. “I used to believe the way I love so hard without question, was a curse. Only to find out, it’s been my greatest gift all along.”

Hitting social media earlier this week, Chloe released a short clip announcing her new album, In Pieces.

The album is marked for March 2023. A firm release date is not available.

In the clip, Chloe can be heard singing: “Wear my heart on my sleeve / They all say I’m naive / But it’s better than nothing.”

In October 2022, Chlöe released the song, “For the Night,” which features rising ATL rapper Latto.

The music video, which Chlöe also co-directed, offers fans a window inside a day in her life. The video comes following Chlöe’s performance at the iHeart Radio Festival and a worrisome FaceTime conversation with her hidden lover, performed by none other than Druski.

“For The Night” follows Chlöe’s sizzling single “Surprise.” You can see the new video below.

Chlöe Opts To ‘Pray It Away’ In The First Piece From Her Upcoming Debut Album

by

Ahead of her upcoming solo debut album, In Pieces, Chlöe has shared its lead single, “Pray It Away.”

On the first piece of In Pieces, Chlöe recovers from a broken heart by getting in touch with her spirituality. Initially, she is angry and vengeful over a man who did her dirty. But instead of exacting revenge, she chooses to pray the hurt and the heartache away.

“God knows my heart, I’m wildin’, wildin’ / So close to doin’ somethin’ / Maybe I should go and take it to church / And wash it away,” she sings on the song’s chorus, noting that although she wants this man to hurt, she’s deciding, “I’ma just pray it away.”

In the song’s accompanying visual, directed by Madeline Kate Kann, Chlöe is seen dancing in a historic church in downtown Los Angeles, surrounded by dancers dressed in white.

While we don’t know much else about her upcoming album, Chlöe is promising a soul-baring, unfiltered project.

“I have been the rawest, the most vulnerable, and the most open I have been in my entire life with this album,” said Chlöe in a statement. “I used to believe the way I love so hard without question, was a curse. Only to find out, it’s been my greatest gift all along.”

You can check out the video for “Pray It Away” above.

In Pieces arrives this March via Parkwood and Columbia. You can pre-save it here.

New music from Chlöe is officially on the way. Ahead of her upcoming debut solo album, In Pieces, Chlöe has taken to social media to announce the lead single from the album.

The upcoming single, which is set to arrive later this week, is called “Pray It Away.” On the single cover, she is seen surrounded by candles in what looks like the chapel of a church. In the post’s caption, she noted that “Pray It Away” would be the “1ST PIECE” of In Pieces.

Yesterday, during a discord following the announcement of In Pieces, Chlöe revealed that none of her previously released solo singles — “Have Mercy,” “Treat Me,” “Surprise,” and the Latto-assisted “For The Night” — will be on the album.

While we don’t really have an idea of what to expect from “Pray It Away,” Chlöe spoke with Uproxx for our cover story, saying that the album will sound different from the music she makes with her sister, Halle Bailey, as duo Chloe X Halle.

“I’m a brand new artist and I haven’t had a body of work out [yet], so it’ll be the first thing people hear from me, really,” she said. “So I think that’ll be surprising in itself.”

Check out the cover art for “Pray It Away” below.

Chloe Bailey’s Debut Solo Album: R&B Diva Reveals Title & March Release Date

by

We’re not even a full month into 2023 yet, and already the new music we’ve heard has been undeniably amazing. Besides what artists have already dropped, it seems as though a highly anticipated new album is being announced multiple times a week. The latest lyricist to give us some good news regarding their debut project is Chloe Bailey.

Of course, the world already loves her for her work alongside little sister Halle Bailey on their Ungodly Hour project. That previously landed back in 2020, boasting popular titles like “Do It,” “Forgive Me,” and the titular track.

As the younger of the two began an exciting venture into the world of Disney, Chloe launched her career as a solo artist. She shared her “Have Mercy” hit at the end of 2021. While Halle was “Under The Sea” with Flounder and other friends on The Little Mermaid set, her sibling was performing at the VMAs and teasing more amazing singles to come.

It initially seemed as though we may hear Bailey’s debut album arrive last year, but instead, she built up plenty of suspense with her sultry songs. First, we heard “Treat Me” in April, and after that, she had some fun on the Shemix of “GYALIS.”

Arguably the most salacious of Chlöe’s recent singles is “Surprise,” in which she flirtatiously sings about having her panties pulled to the side.

Finally, Chlöe gave us “For the Night” featuring Latto at the end of October. Ahead of the popular track’s release, the vocalist revealed during a Twitter Spaces session that she wrote it about Gunna and their short-lived fling that took place in early 2022.

Of course, the world has been eager to hear more from the 24-year-old. Thankfully, she’s been sharing countless thirst traps on her Instagram feed to fill the appetites of hungry fans.

One of them arrived on Tuesday (January 24), along with exciting news regarding her long-awaited release. “‘IN PIECES.’ MY DEBUT ALBUM. MARCH 2023,” she wrote in the caption.

The accompanying video clip sees Chlöe wearing bright red locks and a skin-tight dress in the same shade. A front cutout reveals her cleavage for the camera, and gold hoops dangle from her ears. In either hand, she appears to hold golden objects on a platter.

Read everything Bailey had to say about writing music about Gunna here. Afterward, let us know who you want to see featured on her debut solo album in the comments.

Chlöe Has Fans ‘In Pieces’ After Announcing Her Anticipated Debut Solo Album With A Fiery Photoshoot

Chlöe has finally unveiled the title and release date for her long-awaited debut solo album (one of the year’s most anticipated R&B projects). Her new record, In Pieces, has fans feeling that exact way with this announcement.

She dropped a new video on social media today (January 24) that finds her donning a powerful red dress and posing with some scaled weights.

“When did it all get so heavy,” she asks in the audio snippet.

Given she also changed her Twitter layout to seemingly fit the album’s energy, it appears this is going to be a fiery era. Before the official announcement, Chlöe had dropped a handful of solo singles, including “Treat Me” and “Surprise,” that had fans hooked.

“I am just so eager for the fans to hear the songs and the music, and I hope they love it when it finally comes out into the world,” she told Uproxx in a cover story last summer. “I’m a brand new artist and I haven’t had a body of work out [yet], so it’ll be the first thing people hear from me, really. So I think that’ll be surprising in itself.”
