TOP 5 SONGS

5. Believer

“Believer” may be short, but it gets straight to the point.

Chlöe sings about meeting someone new and instantly feeling a connection. She doesn’t know everything about them yet, but she knows enough to want more.

What I really like here is the confidence. Chlöe isn’t sitting around wondering if this person likes her. She already knows she’s going to leave an impression. If they aren’t believers yet, they will be soon enough.

4. Mama’s Boy

This track is aimed at anyone who’s already exhausted their chances.

The relationship has clearly ended. You’ve tried, forgiven, and heard every apology, and now you’re finished.

The other person, however, refuses to accept it. They keep calling, texting, apologizing, and trying anything to win another chance.

The title adds a sharp edge as she tells him to go cry to his mama, signaling she’s completely moved on. It’s blunt, playful, and full of attitude.

3. Better Than She Can

The confidence on this track is dialed all the way up, and it’s impossible not to enjoy it.

Chlöe comes across completely sure of her worth, which is why she’s so thrown by the idea of her man looking elsewhere. To her, there’s no real competition in the room. Anything another person offers feels like something she’s already mastered and improved on.

What makes it hit is the tone. It never slips into desperation or frustration. Instead, it stays light, witty, and self-assured, like she’s half laughing at the situation while calling it out. That balance of confidence and playfulness gives the track its charm, making it one of the most replayable and entertaining cuts on the album.

2. World On Fire

At its core, this song is about the one person who makes the rest of the world fade to static.

Life doesn’t exactly stay quiet. There’s pressure, noise, and moments where everything feels like it’s collapsing in different directions. But then there’s that one presence that changes the atmosphere completely. With them, the chaos loses its weight. You breathe easier, think clearer, and suddenly nothing outside the moment feels important.

Chlöe leans into that emotion with a soft, glowing touch. The track feels close, personal, almost like it’s happening in real time between two people who understand each other without needing to explain a thing.

1. Priorities

This track unpacks the quiet tension between building a future and holding onto the people in it.

Chlöe is clearly focused, locked into her goals, pushing forward with purpose. But ambition has a cost, and that cost starts to echo through her personal life. The balance between career and connection starts to blur, leaving her caught in the middle.

The emotional core of the song comes from that uncertainty. She’s replaying moments, questioning intentions, wondering if she gave enough of herself or if she let work take too much space. That internal honesty gives the track its weight, revealing a more vulnerable and introspective version of Chlöe that feels both relatable and deeply human.

RGM RATING

(C+)

When I first heard Chlöe and Timbaland were dropping a project together, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. It wasn’t a pairing that immediately came to mind, but after listening to Resurrection, the chemistry makes a lot of sense.

Chlöe’s smooth vocals, buttery runs, and emotional delivery pair surprisingly well with Timbaland’s playful production style and hip-hop influences. Together, they create something that feels fresh while still staying rooted in classic R&B traditions.

At its core, Resurrection is an album about love in all of its forms. We get the excitement of new connections, the comfort of healthy relationships, the challenges of maintaining them, and the heartbreak that sometimes follows. There are moments where Chlöe is soft, vulnerable, and hopeful, and others where she’s blunt, frustrated, and completely fed up.

That’s what makes the album work so well. It captures the full cycle of romance. The highs, the lows, the breakups, the reconciliations, and the lessons learned along the way.

Overall, Resurrection is a strong project filled with relatable themes, smooth production, and plenty of personality. No matter what stage of love you’re currently in, there’s probably a song here that will resonate with you.

    The final rating doesn’t match the score i thought it would have been given a B considering it’s a literal no skip project.
