Let's just cut to the chase: Chloe just aint good as a solo artist.
Chloe x Halle worked cause Halle tames Chloe. Chloe doing songs like Do It, Forgive Me or Ungodly Hour on her own, she woulda just made everything so damn extra like she does now. Lyrically, she woulda found some way to make it cringy as fck as well. When they come together, its about female empowerment and the impact and overall sound just hits; Halle tones her down and they have a more clear direction and sound. She leans on other's input including her sister's. She needs more 'no' people around her.
Chloe's aura is just naturally forced too. She overdoes it to where even though her songs caters to male attention, she still doesn't even attract their attention at all like that. I remember her saying she recorded over 100 songs and if thats the case, and then you were sent back to record more songs and what we got is what we got, then its a wrap. I just dont see her bouncing back from this and there are no potential hits to give the album legs. Best of luck to her acting career.
