Chloe x Halle is an R&B duo composed of sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey. At a young age, the sisters performed in minor acting roles before moving from Mableton, Georgia, to Los Angeles in 2012. The two began posting music covers to YouTube and were acknowledged by Beyoncé, who became their mentor and later signed them to her label, Parkwood Entertainment. They subsequently released the EP Sugar Symphony (2016) and the mixtape The Two of Us (2017).

The duo gained further prominence after starring in the sitcom Grown-ish (2018–present) and releasing their debut album The Kids Are Alright (2018), for which they earned two Grammy Award nominations including Best New Artist and Best Urban Contemporary Album. In 2020, they released their second studio album Ungodly Hour to critical acclaim, earning them another three Grammy Award nominations including Best Progressive R&B Album, Best R&B Song for "Do It" and Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Wonder What She Thinks of Me". The album's lead single "Do It" became the duo's first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100[1] and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs,[2] peaking at number 63 and number 23 respectively. The album itself peaked at number 16[3] and number 11[4] on the Billboard 200 Chart and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart, respectively, becoming the duo's highest peak on the former chart and their first on the latter.

After gaining prominence with their YouTube videos and Disney projects, the duo independently released a four-track project titled Uncovered in September 2013. The release was made up of covers of the pop songs "Applause", "We Can't Stop" "Roar" and "Wrecking Ball".[19] Their December 2013 rendition of "Pretty Hurts" by Beyoncé went viral and drew the attention of the singer herself. In 2015, she signed the sister duo to her management company, Parkwood Entertainment with a reported $1 million deal for six albums.[14][20] The duo made a cameo appearance in her visual album Beyoncé: Lemonade (2016),[21][22] and accepted the BET Award for Viewer's Choice on her behalf in 2016.[23]

In the spring of 2017, Chloe x Halle released their critically acclaimed mixtape, The Two of Us, which featured new music mostly written and produced by the duo.[34][35][36] The mixtape was featured on Rolling Stone magazine's Best R&B Albums of 2017 list.[37] In April 2017, the duo performed the US National Anthem to begin the 2017 NFL Draft.[38] Chloe x Halle released the theme song for the TV series Grown-ish, entitled "Grown", in December 2017.[39] They were added to the cast as series regulars, after initially signing on for recurring roles.[40] Their song "The Kids Are Alright" was featured in the series debut.[41]

Both "Grown" and "The Kids Are Alright" served as the lead and second singles respectively of Chloe x Halle's debut studio album, The Kids Are Alright, which they announced in late February 2018.

[42] Their single "Warrior" appeared on both the soundtrack for the film A Wrinkle in Time (2018), as well as their debut album.[43] The duo performed the song "America the Beautiful" at Wrestlemania XXXIV in early April 2018.[44] Chloe x Halle released their debut studio album, The Kids Are Alright, on March 23, 2018 to critical acclaim.[10][45] To promote the album, Chloe x Halle performed "Happy Without Me" and "The Kids Are Alright" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[46]

Chloe x Halle's performance at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was well received by critics.[47] On May 31, 2018, it was announced that they would be the opening act for the U.S. leg of Beyonce and Jay-Z's On the Run II Tour, alongside DJ Khaled.[48] Chloe x Halle were nominated for two Grammy Awards in December 2018, namely Best New Artist and Best Urban Contemporary Album (for The Kids Are Alright).[49] At the ceremony, they honored American musician Donny Hathaway by performing his 1972 single "Where Is the Love",[50] and additionally presented the award for Best Rap Album to Cardi B.[51] Chloe x Halle's performance of "America the Beautiful" at the Super Bowl LIII was praised by their mentor Beyoncé in addition to several news publications.[52][53]

In July 2019, Disney announced that Halle Bailey had been cast as Princess Ariel in the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, set to be directed by Rob Marshall.[54] She will also record and perform the soundtrack for the film.[55] Halle Bailey's casting as Ariel caused a small amount of controversy, with some claiming that casting an African American in the role of Ariel was unfaithful to the original character. Facebook and Instagram pages dedicated to 'defending Ariel' began to spring up around this time, and would frequently share racist arguments against Halle's casting and stereotypical images of black women as mermaids.[56][57][58] Disney responded to the public with an open letter defending their casting.[59]

The duo appeared and performed on American media personality Nick Cannon's television show Wild 'n Out in late July 2019.[60][61] In September 2019, their cover of The Platters's "Enchanted" was featured in the recap montage of Jesse Pinkman's arc on Breaking Bad to coincide the Netflix film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.[62]
