[R&B] Chloë - Pray It Away

[Benjamin]

New single out Friday.
album ‘In Pieces’ is coming in March

[ThaInfo1]

I don't think we can drop it low and scrub the ground to a song with a title called "pray it away".

the musical saints can rejoice now.

Just saw the album news and was thinking she is going to drop a killer lead but the title is not giving

[basticasas]

She needs to come back as harder as she did with Have Mercy!!!!!! It's a loss that Have Mercy, Treat Me, Surprise and For the Night (at least a solo version) will not be in the album...

Interesting direction for the lead single of the project.

[Benjamin]

I’m really curious what the song sounds like.
Can’t see her going all gospel on us haha.
I think it’s either a smooth urban slow song or a sexy banger in disguise.

but either way the title is a turn off for me tbh

It might turn out to be a clever play on words... but, yeah, it's kind of an odd choice.

[Marchum]

Don’t wanna speak too soon, but it seems like she still hasn’t figured her vision/direction. Hope the song changes my mind. I need a new bomb rnb album so bad.

[cheapthrills]

I'd love something along the lines of Treat Me; that was flames, but that title doesn't scream banger

[KEY9481]

[basticasas]

she's now coming for the slow jams y'all!!! cannot wait to hear her comeback!

[lambforever]

The snippet doesn't sound to bad. I'll wait for the full song

[JeremySpears]

I liked all the previous singles more than this

[aang]

Song length is 2:36.

It's actually really cute though, I love the harmonies & Gospel elements but it really sounds more like an interlude. Don't think it'll be a hit either.

MV:

God, I love the song.

[Marchum]

Love the video. Her visuals are always impressive.

I love her tone, and the runs! Verses are my favorite part I think, reminds me of I’m Your Baby Tonight.

The overall song is also giving if K Michelle and Mariah the Scientist did a song together.

It’s cute. But like, idk. Cute track. Just not sold.

[Marchum]

Listened to it a couple of times again. This is not how you ‘kick off’ an album announcement. Even for an album cut, it’s meh.

[LittleLinda]

Pretty video, but the song is average. It also doesn’t seem like much of a departure from her previous offerings, which is a bit surprising to me. What’s the point of scrapping an album when you’re gonna keep doing more of the same?
I’m willing to check the album out, but the lead single doesn’t excite me at all.

[SawyerHewitt]

This ain't it, Chloë.

[cheapthrills]

It's not bad, but I don't know that this will have much replay for me. I did think we'd get something different from her. At around the minute mark, when she goes into the chorus, I thought the song would go into something uptempo, but instead it's just kind of a letdown. Her voice is on point, but I felt like there were some good elements in the song that didn't take enough advantage of.

[cabanaboy]

She always seems to give off this vibe of trying way too hard. I am really not sure how she can remedy that. It feels a bit like she is trying to project a certain image on herself instead of just being who she is.

I agree. Even though she meant it differently, I couldn’t help but grin at the “I faked it for nothing” line, because it felt so fitting to the way she scrapped the original album and is now trying to start over with a new lead single.

[basticasas]

this bored me, I was expecting something better tbh... did she released this because SZA's producer worked on this?
