Chlöe Bailey talks shaking off social media trolls, the relationship woes that inspired 'Trouble in Paradise,’ and the best advice she and Halle got from Beyoncé.
The singer can rile up the internet with just one post. As she readies her new album, she’s tuning out the noise.Chlöe Bailey floats into the leafy back patio of a Highland Park restaurant in red-carpet-ready glam. Her locs are pulled into a sleek ponytail, her makeup is giving smoky vixen, and her eyelashes are practically sculptural.
The feedback used to weigh on her more. But the star, who turns 26 in July, is finding a new kind of resilience as she grows up in the industry. “I’m a very soft, kind person and a lot of times it gets mistaken for weakness,” she says. “A lot of people think because I am kind, that they can walk all over me and I don't know what I'm talking about. But I just smile and wave and keep my thoughts to myself and let people underestimate me.
When Chlöe first started releasing music on her own, some listeners balked at how she presented herself. Her lyrics seemed raunchier. Her outfits hugged her skin and showed off her curves. On social media, some of her followers complained she was using her sexuality to force a rebrand instead of just expressing it naturally. The way Chlöe sees it, “I was always wearing tight stuff and showing my butt. The juxtaposition of my sister and I just diluted it a bit.
When trolls weren’t policing her body, they were questioning her musical direction. After Chlöe teased the breezy uptempo single “Boy Bye” in April, one X user begged her toand suggested she was pandering to white listeners. The tweet sparked something in Chlöe, who shut it down with delicious ease. “I don’t have to listen to you baby xox,” she wrote, adding a shrug emoji.
