Halle Bailey reveals solo debut Love? Or Something Like It on Oct. 24

Halle Bailey announced on Wednesday that her debut solo album, Love? Or Something Like It, will be released on Oct. 24 through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records, sharing the news in a short, cinematic trailer posted to her social media accounts. In the clip, Bailey sits in a darkened room wearing a red tulle gown and narrates the album's premise, beginning, "Once upon a time, there was a young girl that believed in love. She believed everyone belonged to someone. Soul for soul." In an accompanying caption she described the record as "a story of first love, heartbreak, and everything that comes after" and added, "This one means everything to me."

The announcement follows a steady rollout of solo material from Bailey over the past few years. She released the singles "Back and Forth" and "Braveface" in 2025 and has previously issued songs including "In Your Hands" and the 2023 single "Angel." Bailey has also collaborated with other artists, appearing on a deluxe edition track earlier this year. She did not release a full tracklist or confirm guest features when she unveiled the album, though she included a presave link in her post.
