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 and 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.
In the immediate future, Joey plans to release more new music for his fans.
