Chlöe Bailey releases Trouble In Paradise.
On Friday, the 26-year-old artist took to Instagram with a beautiful photo of herself adorned in a cheetah print nightgown, showing off her voluptuous frame. In the caption, the Grammy-nominated artist revealed that she had the “the most fun” recording the project surrounded by her incredible friends and supportive team in the sunny Caribbean island of St. Lucia.
“To the country and people of St Lucia, thank you for welcoming me into your home with such warm and loving arms. Thank you for inspiring me more than you know,” the star penned. “I have found my happiness, my peace, my joy here, my sanctuary. the place where my troubles don’t seem as bad when I’m basking in the sun, swimming in paradise.”
Bailey continued, “Thank you @shermayb for introducing me to my safe haven and making sure we got this body of work out with every drop of blood, sweat and tears.”
Before signing off, the beautiful songstress made sure to thank all of the featured artists on the album.
“Thank you for your brilliant mind, ear and expertise.

Fans react to the album.
Fans flocked to X after the album’s release to share their reactions, and many were raving about Bailey’s stunning vocals throughout the project. Users described the album as “sonically beautiful” and praised it for evoking the nostalgia of classic R&B. Several netizens were especially enthusiastic about Bailey’s playful lyrics on “Rose,” an R&B hit where she sings about enjoying herself with a Rose vibrator rather than seeking romance from a man. Meanwhile, others argued that “Strawberry Lemonade” should be the song of the summer.

Bailey recently spoke with HelloBeautiful about her new album, sharing that recording in St. Lucia provided her with a profound sense of solace, acceptance, and creativity.
“I can walk around with no makeup, I can walk around loving my body, I can go to the ocean, truly just pray to God and thank him for the blessings that I have. And it reminds me that life isn’t all about what my career is. It’s not about outer validation, but the inner peace,” the hitmaker said. “I just really wanted people to feel the peace and the love that this place has brought me, where it was able to open up my creative mind and my creative spirit to literally write my troubles away in paradise. And the album feels like what a summer fling feels like, the back and forth of it, the highs, the lows, the love.”
