Chloe Bailey is going solo.
As the elder sister of the pop duo Chloe x Halle, of which her younger sister is the other half, new reports share that Chloe will be performing her single “Have Mercy” at this year’s upcoming MTV Video Music Awards and that she has a new album on the way.
“[Chloe] will make her solo debut with the TV premiere of ‘Have Mercy’ off of her upcoming album. Her set is a follow-up to last year’s VMA pre-show performance by Chloe x Halle, in which the sisters sang a sparkly rendition of ‘Ungodly Hour,’ Billboard writes.
