Chloe x Halle returned to their highly-praised sophomore effort, Ungodly Hour. The album originally dropped in summer 2020, but even a pandemic couldn’t stop its momentum. Since the album’s release, both sisters, who are signed to Parkwood Entertainment, aka Beyonce, have seen their public interest stock sky-rocket up, coinciding of course, with their decision to create individual social media accounts.
The re-release of Ungodly Hour, rather than being framed as a ‘Deluxe Edition’ is being referred to as a ‘Chrome Edition.’ Whereas we’ve seen rappers re-release their album with an entirely new tracklist sequencing and almost a whole album’s worth of new songs, Chloe x Halle keep thing simple, and we are all the more pleased about it. They’ve added two new songs, tacked on to the very end of the album, so as not to mess with the original sequencing. Both songs are vibes, r’n’b but still with enough energy and movement.
We’re highlighting “Hazy,” a Chloe Bailey-produced record that seduces the listener, with lyrics alluding to a sex-fueled relationship, and the energy that such a relationship might foster.

Quotable Lyrics
You fallin’ for me, baby
I know you I make you crazy
Like when the clouds are hazy
You like to smell my daisies
I can see that you wanna
I smell on your cologne
Be tough now don’t be lazy
