Beyoncé made sure to give Chlöe feedback before the release of "In Pieces."

Not everyone gets guidance from Beyoncé ahead of their debut album but Chlöe isn’t just anybody. With the anticipation surrounding In Pieces at an all-time high ahead of its release last  Friday, the singer faced the public with a departure from the sisterly duo that is Chlöe x Halle. In Pieces finds the Georgia singer shining on her own and sharing the stage with stars like Missy Elliott, Future, and Chris Brown for an incredible debut.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Chlöe opened up about Bey’s guidance throughout the process of In Pieces. She explained that the “Cuff It” star shared notes with her after listening to the album in its entirety. “Yes, I know she listened to the album,” Bailey said. “She gave me notes on it before I released it.” Chlöe added, “I love her so much. Dearly, dearly, and I’m so grateful to her for everything.” She didn’t necessarily clarify what the exact notes were but we could imagine that Bey had some valuable gems to drop.

Chlöe x Halle signed a management deal with Parkwood Entertainment in 2015 before the release of their debut album, The Kids Are Alright. The two would later join Bey as the opening act on The Formation World Tour in 2016. However, Chlöe’s history with Beyoncé goes back nearly two decades. The “Cheatback” star appeared as a young version of Beyoncé’s character Lilly in The Fighting Temptations in 2003. Bey witnessed their growth first-hand and continues to play a pivotal role in their careers. 

Besides her debut album, Chlöe and her sister Halle also make a mark in the world of film and television. Most recently, she appeared in Donald Glover’s new series Swarm as Marissa Jackson. Additionally, she also has a few major film roles in the works. The upcoming horror film The Georgetown Project stars Bailey as Blake Holloway, She’s also set to appear in the upcoming musical comedy, Praise This! Meanwhile, Halle Bailey will star in the upcoming remake of The Little Mermaid. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates on Chloe. Let us know how you feel about In Pieces in the comments below.
