Before Chloe and Halle were Beyoncé-approved, they were wowing us with their stellar vocals on their YouTube channel. They often infused their own jazzy, alternative r&b sensibilities into the covers, and close listeners could tell there was something deeper there. (See their gorgeous rendition of "Down in the DM")
Now we're finally getting a taste of Chloe, 17, and Halle's, 15, original music. The two just debuted their first single, "Drop."
Instead of opting for the kind of light pop or r&b music one might expect of teenagers, "Drop" is dark and serious. The lyrics paired with the visuals offer a gorgeous glimpse into the creativity of the duo. Chloe and Halle wrote and produced the record themselves, which is an incredible accomplishment.
"'DROP' is very special to us because it was one of the first songs we fully wrote and produced ourselves," they told The FADER. "It gave us the courage to trust our instincts. To see how it was made from our living room, to turning into something much bigger, is super exciting! We’re so happy that we got to do our first video in such a huge way, and we have Beyoncé to thank for that. We love her so much.”
We've been following sister duo Chloe and Halle for years, and it's been incredible to watch the sisters mature. Not only have they mastered their voices but they're stretching themselves to cover new styles.
They surprised us with the cover of Yo Gotti's "Down in the DM." They added touches of rock and r&b to soften up the trap hit.
Chloe and Halle are two of the most talented musicians on YouTube who have yet to sign a record deal. The teenage sisters have soulful voices that complement each other perfectly. They've grown their fan base with phenomenal covers of popular songs, and we're so happy to see them back.
