“I wholeheartedly believe Chase Shakur will take over the modern R&B genre.” – Lyrical Lemonade

“Chase Shakur is one of the most exciting singing prospects of late. His relatable lyrics mix well with his production choices. After the success of artists like Childish Gambino, Summer Walker, and more, it’s safe to say Atlanta has another R&B star on the way.” – Rap-Up
The Announcement:
Chase Shakur made a splash with the release of his anticipated debut album WONDERLOVE, which came out earlier this month. Now, Chase is ready to welcome fans into his world of sensual stories and introspective R&B, announcing the “WONDERLOVE Tour.” Pre-sale tickets are available for the “WONDERLOVE Tour” starting February 19th at 10am local, with the General Onsale launching on February 21st at 10am local. The 16-date tour kicks off on April 24th in Houston, before making its way to major markets like Los Angeles on May 2nd (The Fonda), Chicago on May 9th (The Promontory), New York City on May 14th (The Gramercy Theatre), before concluding on May 23rd in Chase’s hometown of Atlanta.
Along with the tour announcement, Chase shares the video for “LUV IN DA 6,” a highlight from WONDERLOVE. A languid ballad with mutating synths and warped vocal samples, “LUV IN DA 6” finds Chase and guest artist Smino coldly establish their expectations with a woman who wants more than a casual fling. In the video, directed by Khari McCloud, Chase woos a complement of beautiful women, who eagerly try to win his affections by braiding his hair, ironing his clothes, and dancing to his music.
Populated with swelling synths and subsonic bass, WONDERLOVE is a shape-shifting and atmospheric effort, reflecting the contours of Chase’s mind as he progresses from infatuation to heartbreak and back, all in search of a love to encompass his whole being. Shaped by Chase and a team of producers that includes Isaiah Kaleo, Dahi, Go Grizzly, London Jae, and many more, the immersive WONDERLOVE blends a variety of styles, adding textures to Chase’s delicate brand of R&B. Featuring acclaimed singles like “FOCUS ON ME” and “LIMERENCE” (praised by UPROXX, BET, Rated R&B, and more), the album aims to overwhelm the senses with expansive soundscapes and keenly-observed situationship stories. Featuring appearances from Smino and TyFontaine, WONDERLOVE is available on all platforms via Def Jam Recordings.

The Background:
Chase Shakur’s vision is both simple and unendingly ambitious. To put it plainly, the Atlanta-born artist wants to change the sound of R&B. On his new project, “it’s not you, it’s me”, the talented singer-songwriter transcends genre signifiers to conjure up a unique world. Armed with a deep grasp of the South’s musical history—hip-hop, funk, soul, pop, and R&B—Shakur synthesizes these various elements into a forward-thinking sound deeply rooted in Black culture.
Shakur’s decision to drop out of college to pursue music full-time led to him being kicked out of is childhood home. He couch-surfed and spent days in various studios, resting between songwriting sessions. This era helped him forge collaborative bonds with other producers and songwriters, some of whom went on to figure in his Forever N September collective, a group of musicians who helped craft the sound of “it’s not you, it’s me”. The resulting project feels diaristic and transcendent. “it’s not you, it’s me” is a reflection of Chase Shakur’s career thus far, particularly his mental toughness and ability to keep pushing forward all in pursuit of that one goal: To change the shape of music.
