Chlöe Bailey defends Chris Brown collab: “Let the music speak for itself”
nme.comChlöe Bailey has defended her recent single ‘How Does It Feel’, which features contributions from Chris Brown.The track, which appears on her new album ‘In Pieces’ was released in February to mixed reviews.
In a three-star review of the album, NME said of the song: “Take ‘How Does It Feel’, a team-up with Chris Brown that simply treads water with a limp beat and smooth, straightforward harmonies.“Sonically, it’s unfulfilling, but it’s Chlöe’s collaboration with an artist that has a very public history of violence toward women that is a much greater cause for concern.”Speaking on on V-103 Atlanta’s The Big Tigger Morning Show on April 5, Chlöe said of the single: “I always just wanna let the music speak for itself.
And to be honest, no matter what I do people always find things to say about it, so I’m used to it.“I just choose to ignore it.
