Ungodly Hour is the second studio album by American duo Chloe x Halle. It was released on June 12, 2020, by Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia. Originally scheduled for release on June 5, the album's release was delayed as a gesture of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and the global protests following the murder of George Floyd. The album was supported by the singles "Do It", "Catch Up", and "Forgive Me", the former of which became their most successful song to date. A reissue of the album "Chrome Edition" was released on February 26, 2021. Upon its release, Ungodly Hour received widespread acclaim from music critics, with many praising the album's cohesiveness and complimenting the duo's vocal delivery, artistic growth and maturity. It also featured on various year-end lists and received a nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, along with nominations for Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Wonder What She Thinks of Me", and Best R&B Song for "Do It". The album debuted at number 16 on the Billboard 200 chart with 24,000 album-equivalent units, marking the duo's highest-charting album.
Heard this one back when it came out, wasn't very impressed but it's some fine R&B, nothing wrong with that. One of these sisters has since become an actress, played Ariel in a Little Mermaid remake. Do they still do music? 3/5
I enjoyed this album when it came out and didn't have much desire to go back to it, but here it is on this list as someone has deemed this the one album they thing we should all hear. It was just as enjoyable as the first time around.
Lovely harmonies, a pretty candy shell around a more substantial ... actually no. It is pretty sweet the whole way through even given the "men please do better" theme.
This was a pretty simple and forgettable R&B album. The two sisters work well together and compliment their singing style but their songs felt overproduced and none of the songs were that catchy like 90s and 00s R&B was. Just felt uneventful. 4.3/10
