Halle Bailey has opened up about the joys of motherhood, as her sister Chloe Bailey teased that a new Chloe x Halle album will be on the way soon.
Halle was in Los Angeles for the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards on Saturday (February 24), where she talked about her plans for the immediate future.
“I have never felt more creatively inspired in my whole life,” Halle told The Associated Press about the joys of motherhood. “This is such a beautiful time for me because I truly feel like I’m venturing into my womanhood. I feel like a woman now, after having a baby. So, it opens up this whole other portal to write about stuff.”
While Halle also teased that there would be new solo music on the way — which would be “a fusion of all the genres that I love” — her sister Chloe previously suggested that they’d be releasing music as a pair.
“It feels really, really great,” she said to Billboard at the GRAMMYs about her time in the studio with her sister. “It’s just, like, so nostalgic, and reminds us of our days when we did covers on YouTube.”
While it remains to be seen whether fans will receive new solo albums, or a new Chloe x Halle joint album, first, what’s clear is that the ladies are getting their flowers while they can still smell them.
Earlier this month, Halle Bailey was announced as an honoree at the upcoming Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards.
According to a press release shared with HipHopDX, the event — which will be hosted by Wu-Tang Clan‘s very own Method Man — will honor the Chloe x Halle chanteuse alongside actress Danielle Brooks, screenwriter Nkechi Okoro Carroll, and STARZ president of original programming Kathryn Busby.
“The intersection of joy and justice is where community thrives,” said Essence Ventures President and CEO, Caroline Wanga, about creating the space to celebrate Black women. “We don’t ever need to diminish our collective power and accomplishments; due to the work we are still doing to exist equitably. The past year tested this intersection within one of our most sacred cultural realms, when the entertainment industry faced the gridlock of stakeholder value and WORTH.
“In parallel, the assets that the industry creates as a direct infusion of joy that propels our community through the depth and breadth of life, were stagnated as a clear and just outcome stayed uncertain. While parts of the incongruence have stabilized, there is still significant work to be done to create sustainable change.”
The awards ceremony will take place on March 7, 2024, in Los Angeles, CA.
