With Chlöe’s debut solo studio album, ‘In Items’ to be launched on the finish of subsequent month, her newest single ‘How Does It Really feel’ actually wanted to blow our expectations out of the water. The observe, a duo with musical veteran Chris Brown, is, fairly actually, R&B perfection.

Met with essential acclaim, Chlöe’s first solo single, ‘Have Mercy’, was all the time going to be an arduous one to beat commercially. This was finally proved by the unjustifiably lacklustre chart efficiency of a string of singles that adopted – specifically ‘Deal with Me’, ‘Shock’ and ‘For the Evening’. It can be crucial that we recognise the emphasis upon ‘unjustifiably’ right here as sonically, these releases established Chlöe as one of many nice, idiosyncratic skills of up to date R&B music and for that reason, ought to’ve appealed to a distinguished American market.

Apart from this, ‘How Does It Really feel’s’ signature R&B sound can probably be credited to manufacturing being dealt with by hip-hop hulk, Hitmaka. Although Chlöe is not any stranger to collaborating with big-name producers, corresponding to, however not restricted to, London on da Observe, Murda Beatz and Oak, ‘Hitmaka’ is basically synonymous with bass-heavy, down-tempo slow-jams. Thus, he’s, for need of a greater phrase, ‘the proper match’ for the audibly ‘no-air’-esque, R&B energy ballad Chlöe was more than likely making an attempt to attain with this file. Moreover, Brown’s verse is nostalgically faultless in that lyrically, the music is idyllically paying homage to the romantic, soul influenced tracks that essentially characterised Brown’s early discography e.g. 2007’s ‘With You’ and 2016’s ‘Again to Sleep’.

Put merely, I am keen on this file. Sonic, lyrical and melodic R&B at it is best. I positively see this observe catapulting Chlöe into world stardom and total, is a really, very sturdy lead single for the upcoming album. 5 stars!
