If you thought American singer Chloe Bailey’s overt love for Saint Lucia was mere sun-drenched words, think again.
Since visiting the island for Carnival first in 2023, Bailey has continuously expressed her love for Saint Lucia on social media platforms.
However, she is now taking this love affair further by dedicating her upcoming album to the island.
Chloe Bailey’s sophomore album will be released at midnight (August 8, 2024).
The singer has revealed that the songs were recorded and mastered in Saint Lucia and were inspired by her love for the island.
On her official X (formerly Twitter) profile, Bailey shared the news with her followers by way of a neon visual of herself in a pool of water, writing: “A storm is coming. Trouble in Paradise, 8/9.
Bailey said “Trouble in Paradise” is a coming-of-age celebration of being a woman and having fun, not taking life too seriously.
It features guest appearances from YG Marley and Jeremih and a reunion with her sister Halle on the song “Want Me.”
Chloe Bailey performed at the world-renowned Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival in May of this year. One of the songs on her set was “Boy Bye,” a single from Trouble in Paradise.
Bailey was also seen enjoying Lucian Carnival this year with Legends carnival band, mingling with revelers and fans along the way.
She has since shared several of the moments in Saint Lucia to X and Instagram.

well we can take this title literal as well because we sure do have trouble in paradise with that out of control murder rate
So, who is this unknown lady? Why is she making headlines? 🤷🤷
We appreciate you too Miss Bailey. Much love from St. Lucia!
@ the crow, do like all of us with a brain and access to internet; when we feel ignorant we “google”.
I hope the PM don’t come and say he have to protect his victory because this happen under SLP. lmfao
We do not want satanist promoting us.
Met her in person very nice individual!
Why trouble in paradise?? we reverse all forms of trouble predicted over our country in Jesus name. We denounce trouble. We pray peace unity and love 💖
@smh, obviously she is a nobody since I would have to search to find out who she is
Why is it some people fail to see it appreciate the poetic creativity in an artist? Of course, given that you are entitled to your opinion, yet to think that an album entitled Trouble in Paradise bodes terribly for Saint Lucia does say much about the mindset of the person thinking it. Sir Derek Walcott, the premier word-smith of Saint Lucia and by extension the Caribbean would be impressed by the juxtaposition of words trouble and paradise as they present a clash of ideas. How can paradise have trouble if it is indeed paradise? And how can trouble be in paradise, when trouble suggests a state of chaos, entropy even? The artist is allowed poetic licence and made great use of the metaphor. The mind is a terrible thing to waste.
@crow- you must definitely be a little slow if this is your interpretation of my comment. I will excuse you!
@ the crow are you saying because you don’t know her she’s irrelevant? Wow!
Thanks Chloe , most St. Lucian’s appreciate you’ and glad our Island inspired you….🇱🇨
Chloe, I’m very pleased to know that you’re in love with my beautiful little island. Thank you very much. Every time you talk about Saint Lucia in a good light, it’s a win, win for my island. Bravo to Saint Lucia! More power to Saint Lucia! I’m loving every minute of it. Way to go Saint Lucia!
