00:00I know you've been very outspoken about your music and your journey and kind of being pigeonholed in
00:06R&B so as you are venturing into the pop girl era what does tonight mean to you to know that
00:14here at BET we honor everyone? Yes it means everything to me knowing that we are celebrating
00:20music of all types all genres and we're not putting ourselves in a box as a community
00:25and you know for me I love dibbling and dabbling and pop alternative R&B I still do that but it's
00:31just nice knowing that we don't have to be suppressed and contained into something that
00:35society wants us to be you know? And I know you are your sister's keeper so can we expect you
00:42guys to be collaborating on any new music anytime soon? Absolutely there's a song on my upcoming
00:47album Trouble in Paradise called Want Me that features her actually so I'm really excited about
00:51that one she kills it. As far as your new album so are we entering into a new era what can you
00:58tease about it? I feel so everybody of work for me is like a new era represents a new time for me
01:04and it's just more fun light-hearted feels tropical I've fallen in love with the Caribbean
01:09I wrote and finished the album in Saint Lucia so you definitely hear the tropical vibes through
01:14there and how our emotions reflect through the weather. And I know you've been very open about
01:18loving the Caribbean because it's helped like your mental health why is mental health so important
01:23in our community? It's so important because at the end of the day it's just us looking at ourselves
01:27alone in the mirror so we have to feel fulfilled in every way other other than things like this
01:34where we receive outer validation and it only like validates us temporarily so it's good to
01:42find things outside of this. And any advice that you can give to like a woman in her 20s or
01:48of any age really as it pertains to navigating career like you and mental health and still
01:53maintaining our relationships that we have with people in our lives? Balance is key yes have a
01:58great amazing career and be the strong fearless independent woman you are but also make sure
02:03you're happy as well with your personal life we can have both we don't have to suffer
02:08and suffer in silence just to be this image that people want us to be. Absolutely and you've been
02:14very confident with showing your image so what does they not like us mean to you?
02:19They not like us? They don't have the confidence like us like me you know that's what it feels.
02:30It means so much to me I cannot wait to see his tribute. Bye Chloe!
