Timbaland Slid Into Chlöe’s DMs After Seeing Her Making Beats & The Result Is Magic

Chlöe’s new “Resurrection” mixtape with Timbaland started when he messaged her after seeing her viral beat video online.

Chlöe just dropped a 13-track mixtape with Timbaland that’s got her feeling like she’s found herself again.

The project, called “Resurrection,” came together over two months through FaceTime and iMessage, with Timbaland sending beats and Chlöe writing and sending them back.

She describes the 13-track offering as “a resurrection for the both of us,” and you can hear the energy shift in her voice when she talks about it.

What makes this collaboration special is how it actually happened. Chlöe’s been posting beat-making videos on social media, showing her creative process in real time.

She’s always been inspired by Timbaland’s hard-hitting production style, and working with him on this project reignited something inside her.

“Any part of me that felt like I lost belief in myself, it came back for this moment,” she said.

She’s a self-described musical nerd who’s constantly creating at home, and her manager Shamay encouraged her to let the world see what she does every single day.

The mixtape is pure passion project energy.

“We created this project two months over FaceTime and iMessage. He would send me the beat, I would write it, send it back to him,” she explained. What she loves most about it is how genuine it feels.

“It really was just a passion project. And I think you can feel the love and the joy and the creativity all throughout it,” she said, according to TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle.

This isn’t her first time finding success through the internet. She and her sister Halle got discovered posting Beyoncé covers online, which opened every door that came after.

Now she’s using that same platform to connect directly with legends like Timbaland, proving that the internet can be a real tool for artists who know how to use it.
