The teen group Chloe X Halle from Grown-ish has their first studio release, "The kids are alright." We discuss the easy going production and the great harmonization between the young ladies. Its surprising that these young ladies had their hands on so much of this album. From writing, producing and singing all through this release. It sounded like much more seasoned artists. The ladies created a very enjoyable album that we didn't expect.
