Much has been said about Chlöe’s debut solo album, In Pieces. The album has reportedly sold poorly and debuted at #119 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The ensuing social media debate sparked Chlöe to make a public statement about her critics. However, it is nothing new for the star, who has faced criticism on everything from her collaborations to her personality.
However, despite the cool reception to the album, Chlöe has no choice but to move forwards. April 11 marked the first night of her In Pieces tour, which spans the rest of the month. The tour began in Chicago and will make 10 more stops across the US and Canada. April 23 will see Chlöe perform at The Eastern in her home city of Atlanta. Chlöe will end the tour with a performance at The Novo in Los Angeles on May 3.
Chloe Shares Electric Video From Opening Night
Following the first night of the tour at Chicago’s Riviera Theatre, Chlöe shared a video from the concert on Instagram. “first night of my headlining tour.. sold tf out!! thank you Chicago for ALL of your love. detroit see you tomorrow it’s going downnnn” read the caption to the video that showcased some of Chlöe’s choreography and performance. The post has since received over 150,000 likes and nearly 2000 comments. Her claim that her Chicago show sold out is a positive sign and evidence that album sales aren’t everything. While her album has only sold a reported 10,000 copies, it was also streamed 2 million times on Spotify on release day.
The atmosphere portrayed in the video is absolutely electric, indicating that Chlöe is determined to put on a show to remember in her first solo tour. She is set to perform two more shows this week alone. April 13 sees her at The Filmore Detroit in Detroit before she travels to Rebel in Toronto on April 14. Despite the overwhelming criticism the singer has faced for myriad reasons, Chlöe is clearly focused on giving fans a show to remember on her first tour. If the criticism is weighing on her at all, other than her remarks last night, she is refusing to let it be her undoing.
