Chlöe- “FYS”
Chlöe Bailey is back giving a nostalgic R&B vibe in her latest single, "FYS" (Fuck Your Status.) The song and accompanying visualizer make for an aesthetically pleasing composition, enhancing a romantic mood and seductive emotions. While watching Bailey in her prime as she walks along the water at the beach, serving body angles and ethereal fluidity in her vocals, showcases her bold return in music as she pushes boundaries in her new sound.
The track about love despite economic status and materialistic lust pulls listeners in for an enticing and flirty mood as the outro repeats, "Love me," already presenting a love theme for the track. As the beats synthesizer radiates, Bailey's lyrics create a narrative about her sexual worth, capturing the power of feminine chokehold. Pondering the affection of seductive nature, Bailey, all in all, desires the ability to love a person: "Just tell me what you want and I'll give it to you (And I'll give it to you, babe)/Just tell me what you need, I'll fulfill it for you (I'll fulfill it for you, babe)." At the core of vulnerability, Bailey longs for authentic devotion and is willing to do anything. In the song's bridge, the echoes of "love me" from the beginning of the song make a way back as a plea for adoration. While she explains various dispositions of expressing her love, she is clear that a materialistic status having been there, done that, does not phase her in her catchy chorus: "Fuck your status (Fuck your)/Fuck your, your status, it don't matter (Don't matter)/Money, cars and the diamonds/Don't faze me, I been had it/Fuck your status (Had it)/I just, just wanna love you, baby (I just wanna love you, babe, oh)/What you wanna do? Ooh."
The song, driven by fondness and R&B, is designed to capture real love's beauty. The track's laid-back rhythm and dynamic accents enhance a flowy feel, luring listeners into Bailey's feminine renaissance. While we all know Bailey has the voice of an angel from her previous album, "In Pieces," she continues to showcase her vocal talent as it composes an artful symphony.
Visually, the track is accentuated by a 90s purple-to-blue color scheme film aesthetic. The different frames capture Bailey's body as she delivers majestic and tantalizing poses, modeling her way throughout the film. While the track has a feminine accent, the visualizer perfectly aligns with that energy, making the entirety of the production mesmerizing to the eye, soothing for the ear, and admiring for the soul.
