Chlöe Bailey’s 2023 debut album In Pieces delved into the difficulties of relationships, exploring the delicate balance between her emotional, sexual and romantic desires and the heartache that follows. However, her sophomore effort, Trouble in Paradise, embraces a more carefree persona, offering glimpses into her romantic journey—whether she’s falling in love or navigating the uncertainties that come with that. Just like on In Pieces, Chlöe is liberated and entirely in control, whether she’s disillusioned about her relationship and contemplating forgiveness (“Redemption”), candid about the freedom found within fleeting singlehood (“Temporarily Single”) or leaning into her sexuality while offering up on-brand zingers (“Rose”, “Nice Girls Finish Last”). The album levels up sonically from its predecessor, as the studio's Saint Lucia locale provided inspiration and collaborators like Anderson .Paak, Jeremih, YG Marley and sister Halle Bailey add their touch. Chlöe delivers melodic verses over a multitude of genres across the album’s 16 tracks—from pop (“Boy Bye”, “Strawberry Lemonade”) to Afrobeats (“Never Let You Go”) and moody R&B (“FYS”, “Same Lingerie”).
