Chloe and Halle have both been outspoken on social media regarding the movement and even postponed the release of their album Ungodly Hour earlier this summer in order to take time to grieve the death of Floyd and the other "beautiful Black lives lost."
Further, the duo previously spoke to BAZAAR.com about how it felt to create and perform music at such an intense time in our country.
"When you're trying to release art and music during a time like this, it's very interesting, because you think to yourself, 'Will this be healing? What can I do to use my voice? What can people take out of this? How can this make them feel better?'" said Halle. "I feel like collectively as a Black community, we are all grieving together. During [times like now], music has always been our savior."
