Album Release
Chanel definitely has needed time to unwind after releasing her debut album, America’s Sweetheart. The 19-track project includes features from Dreezy, Salma Slims, Too $hort, Minus Gravity, and more and was influenced by some major names across musical genres.ย
“Really, Tupac is my main influence,” she told Flaunt in June. “That’s all I listened to in middle school and high school. It was really Tupac. As far as female artists, someone that’s not really a rapper, but Gwen Stefani. Style-wise, I loved everything she did. Her style was so different. As an artist, I wanted to combine the two. That’s my inspo: Tupac and Gwen Stefani.”
