It was also a platinum, cross-format hit too. I just want the album to do well enough to grow her solo career and keep her signed to Columbia as both a solo act/duo act, but it might not be that easy if a lot was invested. Expand If that really piqued their interest they would've followed up quicker than they did. They did not properly build on that momentum and it has been downhill since lol. Can't wait for this album to finally drop though!

TREAT ME was an incredible follow up (imo), just should've been pushed better. it was left to die tbh and i honestly don't know why. where it started to go downhill was the whole SURPRISE/FTN fiasco, having the fans choose the single and then the one that wins, doesn't get released... that's where **** started getting sticky and it's been a slippery slope ever since. not to mention the "hate fest", it became/is trendy and funny to nit-pick and hate on her, the empire music drags and the "do too much" allegations just continued to take more and more of her shine. PRAY IT AWAY was a great cleanser to move on from that. the CB feature was def a plot and ploy to win back the GP. usher sample, hitmaka production but it did more harm than good. at this point, I just want her to WIN! I love that she's everywhere. TV, MOVIES, MUSIC, TOUR. continuing to build and expand despite these painted narratives. she can sell ONE copy, the girl will continue to be talented and the real gag is when CxH get back together after C's solo effort and H's solo run, the duo album still isn't going to SMASH. the same people begging are going to be the same one's not supporting. so it's just another cycle of begging with no action as usual with most artist. Expand I feel like the next duo album is gonna smash. H is gonna have a critically acclaimed album too.

Expand i mean the criticisms on her image weren't baseless. she came out from the jump being really abrasive for no reason. you can sing and perform without doing all that extra stuff that's usually reserved for the girls that don't have the actual talent to back it up have to resort to in order to sell On 3/12/2023 at 12:32 AM, EarStyle said: If that really piqued their interest they would've followed up quicker than they did.

Expand It charted on Hot 100 1st week because of facebook, then it left the chart the week after. It never entered the Top 200 on Apple Music & charted on US Spotify for 2 days, it freefell on streaming after only 1 week Radio wouldn't have saved it.
Alex Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 so... what now? - solo career essentially destroyed - image beyond reparation - fanbase abandoned - songs not being sent to radios - miniscule hype for this album I was rooting for miss Bailey but this is a Tinashe 2.0 situation, except this time with actual resources available

Expand well Tinashe is obviously leagues above majority of the industry when it comes to the sheer talent and dedication she puts towards her craft (nine official projects in the span of a decade) but the circumstances Chloe is in are eerily similar to Tinashe back when she was debuting in 2014 Commercially peaked with debut single ✓ Damaged image that turned people off from listening (Chloe's case being her overtly sexual persona she's portraying vs. Tinashe's out of context colourism comments) ✓ Lack of radio support for whatever reason ✓ Complete lack of sonic direction ✓ The difference being Chloe had many more opportunities and doors opened for her with Have Mercy, for example she's had more award show performance slots than Tinashe has ever seen in her decade long career. Overall the situation is more devastating when analyzing the full potential this era could've been if handled properly. I'm not sure what's going on at Parkwood / Columbia but it's looking like it's not anything good.
orange22 Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 They waited way too long after Have Mercy to do anything tbh (and HM would’ve peaked higher if it was actually out for any part of the summer )

Let's hope Halle's success somehow pushes Chloe's too.

Expand it would’ve absolutely helped. there are and have been songs that were doing the same streaming wise and yet radio allowed them to stay afloat. no one cares about any of these songs being a hit. it’s strictly about staying afloat so she can have the space to grow. whether you think so or not, some things truly do really just need time and a little push & i feel that’s been the case with chloe and a lot of other girls tbh. that’s it. that’s all i’m saying.
