“There’s so much going on in the world today, and a lot of times, we need to be reminded of a message that’s positive,” Halle tells PEOPLE of their record. “We are inspired by seeing other artists create from everything that’s going on, using this negativity and turning it into something beautiful with our art. That’s exactly what we hope to have done with this album.”
Adds Chloe: “We are two young girls who just like to make really cool, experimental music that you don’t really hear every day, and we just want to break barriers and make something new.”
