Chloe X Halle are ready to debut their new, mature sound!
The singing sister duo recently spilled on what fans can expect from their upcoming album, Ungodly Hour.
“It’s more grown; it’s sexy, it’s darker,” Halle told Popsugar.
Chloe later added, “We’re not little kids anymore.”
They described their new sound as “edgier, grittier” R&B and played a role in the entire process – from melodies to lyrics and production.
Chloe continued, “I’ll make a beat and Halle will hear some really sick melodies and go on the mic and record them. I’ll lay some melodies down and splice [them] together, and then we do lyrics, but we never force it. It’s much like throwing paint on a wall and seeing what happens, and that’s the beauty of it.”
The 19-year-old singer and actress will be taking on the role of Ariel and shared her excitement about the music.
Halle said that there will be classic songs like “Part of Your World”, but there will also be some new ones written by composer Alan Menken that aren’t in the original movie.
“I’ve been a fan of The Little Mermaid since I was 5, so those new songs are very exciting to me, as well as the old,” Halle told Popsugar. “That’s probably like, ding, ding, ding! My number one.”
She also opened up about taking on the iconic role and what she hopes to bring to the character.
“It’s so overwhelming, and beautiful, and breathtaking. I’m like, ‘Wow, am I really doing this?’” she said, hoping to bring “freshness.”
“Just being authentically me. It’s amazing that the directors have been so forward in asking me to show my true self,” Halle continued. “That’s been a really fun growing experience.”
The 23-year-old actor and singer appeared on Good Morning America on Monday (December 23) to chat about the season.
“I could be a baby daddy, I could not be a baby daddy. It’s fun,” Trevor said. “I’m really excited. The cast is so talented, the writers are so amazing. I feel like we always hit the nail on the head on topics that are today, that are relevant. Especially for young kids who don’t really see themselves on TV. That’s why I love being a part of this show, it’s a great one.”
Trevor also talked about being a prankster on set and shared about one prank he did on Chloe x Halle.
“I’m always the guy, when I’m not on camera, trying to make the actors laugh,” he shared. “We’re there all day, somebody’s got to laugh… Chloe and Halle are vegans, and I remember one time, I tricked them. I told them that they had eaten meat, but it wasn’t, it was a vegan thing. I was like, ‘Oh you guys got the wrong one’. That’s the type of pranks I play.”
