Even if it's not an EP, it is still a debut album pre-release. And it's not a good look that none of the new records released have made it to at least Bubbling Under, especially considering they are showing up under her "anticipated" upcoming debut album's playlist on Spotify and Apple Music, right alongside Water and Water Remix (both of which should ideally be bringing some traction to her new drops). She either needs better uptempo follows up records to lock in the hype. Or we're probably going to have to accept that she's essentially another one-hit-wonder who just wants to be an R&B girl, and will eventually get lost in the shuffle of already existing acts in that space.

Yeah no. All 3 songs sound like slow snoozers She seems to wants to be an R&B girlie instead of the pop girl that people want her to be lol

Always knew she'd go back to her sleepy R&B-amapiano niche, but hoped she and her team wouldn't do it this soon after releasing an uptempo hit Good luck to her, especially with the December/holiday season wave of music coming around the corner.

It seems like this didn't debut on the U.S. Top 200 either? To Hell With It at least went Top 100 there Honestly insane that a solo debut EP fared better than a debut album with 3 big features. I get that she blew up on TikTok, but IMO, her team needs to find a new strategy outside of the app because it's clear it won't always carry her nor translate into streams & sales. She's missing out on a huge segment of people and really, the next level of her career, by not pushing herself in other avenues. One major one is the lack of live performances. It's insane to think that she's never done a televised performance on a Fallon or a Kimmel, an award show like the EMAs, iHeart Radio Awards, VMAS, or even the smaller intimate ones like VEVO or Tiny Desk after 3 years. It would help her widen her reach with new audiences outside of her TT followers & hopefully gain new support. Teasing a song on TT & hoping it becomes a hit isn't a reliable formula. I don't know if she feels nervous because it's hard to replicate her studio voice, or what. But I think it explains why, although her profile has risen, her commercial power has kind of declined since the last release.

TikTok in combination with immediate TTH playlisting also helps. Emphasis on the latter.

Tbh SZA did nothing for the Remix of Doechii's Persuasive song when it was going viral. She didn't help the solo version nor the remix chart in Bubbling Under at the very least And I feel like Africans would totally eat up a Tems collaboration but it wouldn't do much for pushing it up the Hot 100 like her label wants.

Stupid idea Definitely been noticing how she and her team move like amateurs and aren't strategic at all. Travis' fanbase won't be the type of people to stick around and stream her amapiano catalogue of music once this collabo is all said and done Good luck.

She continues to show her true colors of being an arrogant and entitled a-hole, and idk why she gets so many passes from ATRL for it. The record should've been given to a more deserving talent so Doja could've kept living in RCA's basement, where she clearly wants to return and truly belongs anyways.

Honest thoughts. Pros: This is her best visuals to date. She's struck a balance between giving bawdy while still being artistic and having a central theme throughout the video. It's also her most lyrically vulnerable song, outside of Anxiety, which I appreciate in this climate of rap where everyone constantly wants to flex and brag, but refuses to show any other side of themselves. Con: I usually despise when people say she has the same flow/cadence/whatever, but this is one instance where I do wish she switched up her delivery or at least moved away from the usual adlib over usage. It just makes it sound so much like her previous work and doesn't do the record as a whole much justice. Interested in seeing her direction for this new era.

Umm so does anyone have any updates on how this album did, units and streams wise? I find it strange that ChartData or even UK Charts accounts don't post her numbers like they do every other UK-based artist (FLO, Raye, Charli, Dua, Stormzy, Burna Boy, Dave, Central Cee).

Spill. A lazy remix at that lmaooo.

wtf was that? so lazily made. and no replay value.

I agree but would say it's both. She alienated most CxH fans and formed a clique of stans who hype up every decision she makes and chalk every small comment to 'hating or cyberbullying'. After seeing the low stats, they're now sparking arguments on Twitter saying it's apparently Beyonce and Parkwood's fault 'for not being invested enough in Chloe's success'. And they're dead serious. It's always someone else's fault for why the GP doesn't support.
