Chloe x Halle - Ungodly Hour

[abi]

JoJo! It’s between JoJo and JoJo.

For the album, Jojo submitted to R&B album while CxH, Summer & most likely Jhene submitted to Progressive R&B (formerly Urban Contemporary).

Oh wow they finally perfomed Lonely

[Loose]

I stan for the title track.

ThaInfo1 You were right, sis. best outta the bunch.

[Ska8er]

Their Grammy promo circuit campaign has been immaculate.

[dylonj]

I think they will get AOY nomination (if they were submitted there)

They were but it's a longshot. R&B acts don't get an AOTY without huge sales or hit singles, and they had neither.

[abi]

Yeah I don't think they're gonna get AOTY either, way too many competitions. I don't even think Best Progressive R&B is on lock as well, Jhene might get lots of love due to her bigger success & appeals more to male audience.

[Ska8er]

Another fantastic performance from them. They've been going non stop this year.

[JeremySpears]

They're so talented and they deserve so much more. I love how they keep performing different songs from the album and not just "Do It".

[DnBLover]

As much as I like them, I don't think the album is strong enough. But there are some very strong songs in there obviously, less than half though.

[KEY9481]

I am at loss for words.
Wow. Spectacular.

[JeremySpears]

[Ska8er]

Yes CxH!

It was named the second best album of the year by TIME Magazine:

2. Ungodly Hour, Chloe x Halle

Sometimes they would don thigh-high metallic boots and dance through strobing orbs of light; sometimes they’d perform brisk routines on tennis courts; sometimes they’d strum acoustic guitars. Every live performance that the sister act Chloe x Halle delivered this summer was wholly unique, but the source material—songs from their album Ungodly Hour—was uniformly strong. While many pop stars have recently chosen to release increasingly baggy albums to maximize streaming numbers, the Bailey sisters took the opposite route, crafting 13 unimpeachable songs, each with inventive production flourishes and endless replay value. For the most part, the Beyoncé proteges don’t rely too heavily on their voices, instead focusing on crafting a modern and cohesive brand of R&B that borrows from the best aspects of several eras of the genre. But toward the end of the album, they unleash their pipes to their full torrential power on “Wonder What She Thinks of Me,” a blistering letter written to a romantic rival, belted in hair-raising cascading harmony.—ARC

^ YAY!
This year has been absolutely the best year in terms of urban/rnb albums. So many amazing records after one other. Teyana, Kehlani, Jojo, Alina, and CxH gave me everything I needed and more in this ****ed up year. So happy they’re getting what they deserve.

[Ska8er]

Seriously, drop the physicals girls...

Why is everybody leaving out Jhene's Chilombo? Am I the only one who loves that album?

I love it too. I was just blasting it other day, but it feels so pre-quarantine to me, I can’t group it with the others lol

[Ska8er]

I like it, I even played it the other day when it was announced AOTY to refresh my memory. It's just that she doesn't really go many places thematically or experiments with production and vocals as much as CxH do. Also she pulled a CB and made it 273726 tracks long, so it drags a bit too.

Rooting for these ladies.

[DnBLover]

Funny thing is I am a huge Jhene fan but this album did not captivate me like any of her previous work. I would rather play Trip than Chilombo still. I need to give it a few more tries...

However, Chilombo's highlights are amazing, and in terms of an album I prefer it over CxH which I have played quite a bit yet keep coming to the same 3-4 songs.

Marchum Ska8er DnBLover Okay I'm gonna need all of you to give me more 2020 R&B album recommendations cause my playlist has been a looking a little dry lately. I do think female R&B artists are killing it more than males in 2020 though.
