Chloe X Halle
Sisters and actors Chloe and Halle Bailey, aka Chloe x Halle, are also self-taught musicians and producers whose recordings have roamed from mature acoustic pop to sparse contemporary R&B.
They made their full-length debut with The Kids Are Alright (2018), which led to Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Urban Contemporary Album.
In March 2018, Chloe x Halle returned with their full-length debut, The Kids Are Alright. Chloe either produced or co-produced most of the songs, while Halle assisted on several of them. The album reached number 139 on the Billboard 200 chart, and was anchored by the title track and the single “Grown,” the theme song from the television show and Black-ish spin-off Grown-ish, in which they played classmates of series star Yara Shahidi.
Also included was the song “Warrior,” which appeared on the soundtrack to the fantasy-adventure film A Wrinkle in Time.
Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Urban Contemporary Album raised the duo’s profile even more.
In 2019, they issued the singles “Who Knew” and “Thinkin Bout Me,” both of which were also featured on Grown-ish. The duo’s second album, Ungodly Hour, arrived in June 2020. Sounwave, Disclosure, and Mike WiLL Made-It were among the roster of higher profile production collaborators on the album, which entered the Billboard 200 at number 16.
