Chloe Bailey has, once again, set the internet ablaze, and she isn’t apologizing for it.
On Monday, the singer shared a video of her singing Minnie Riperton’s 1974 classic hit, “Lovin’ You,” and put her own sultry spin on the wistfully sensual tune. Unsurprisingly, the cover was a hit, with Bailey flawlessly managing to hit Riperton’s high note and showcasing her impressive breath control. Her video earned massive praise from fans and musical peers alike.
“Such a clean beautiful voice,” rapper Rubi Rose complimented, amongst praise from “Power”‘s La La Anthony, City Girls’ JT, and the “Grown-ish” actor’s number one fan, her sister, Halle Bailey.
But, where there are lovers, there will be haters. Some commenters claimed the cover was too sexy, that Bailey’s sultry tone was “disingenuous,” that she was doing too much and it wasn’t appropriate for a Minnie Riperton cover. The reaction was similar to the response the singer received for her cover of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good.”
On Tuesday, Bailey responded to the critics on Twitter, writing that she took their comments as “a compliment.”
“I like how you can’t criticize my singing or who i am as an artist, so people find something else to find. that’s a compliment,” she wrote, sharing clips of Riperton performing the song to her Instagram Stories and reminding everyone that the lyrics are literally about making love.
Recently, Bailey has frequently come under fire for her open sensuality and self-expression. Ever since the Chloe x Halle duo launched separate accounts and the 23-year-old began posting videos and photos, she’s been met with negativity about being “too” sexy.
Last February, Bailey directly addressed the criticism, sharing that she’s had to confront body issues
