JOEY BADA$$ MEETS OVERWHELMING FAN DEMAND WITH THE RELEASE OF NEW “TELL ME” FEATURING CHLOË OUT NOW

Kicking off what promises to be a bold creative chapter, multiplatinum chart-topping rapper and actor Joey Bada$$ shares his long-awaited new single and visual “Tell Me (featuring Chlöe)”out now via Columbia Records. It notably marks the latest collaboration between Joey and GRAMMY® Award-nominated superstar Chlöe following his appearance in her “Cheatback” music video as well as their time as castmates on Grownish!

Almost exactly a year ago, Joey initially teased the track with a viral Instagram Reel, generating 5 million-plus views, attracting just shy of half-a-million “likes,” and building widespread demand among fans. For the better part of the last year, audiences have clamored for its official release, and he has now delivered after setting the stage for it earlier this week!

On the song, Chlöe’s smooth vocals practically melt into laidback production laced with loose guitar and a simmering beat. Meanwhile, Joey flaunts his versatility, switching up flows and alternating the cadence with lyrical precision. Setting the scene right away, he urges, “Tell me why you in love with me. Is it money or the fame or the fact I’m livin’ in the lap of this luxury?” The accompanying visual depicts this emotional complexity on-screen with cinematic flair.

Progressing once again, he leans into another side of his sound altogether with “Tell Me” and delivers one of his most slick anthems yet.

It lands in the wake of “Passports & Suitcases” featuring GRAMMY® Award-winning artist/producer KayCyy. Thus far, the latter has amassed millions of streams and earned critical acclaim. HYPEBEAST hailed it as “jet-setting” and “globe-trotting,” and Stereogum attested, “He’s a pretty good singer, and the depth in his voice works nicely here.” In addition to plugs from ESSENCE and more, HotNewHipHop christened it “a thrilling musical collab,” while VIBE applauded it as “a dreamy offering that promotes excursions in the name of leisure and romance, vowing guidance and companionship.

“Passports & Suitcases’” landed on the heels of his epic conclusion on STARZ’s original Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
