Newcomer Chase makes her mark with brilliant second single 'History'

New York-based, singer-songwriter Chase reveals her poignant new single 'History'. Grounding and thoughtful, the new single is a stunning follow up to her debut single 'Pretend Again

New single ‘History’ reflects on the troubling, current state of the world and the knock-on effects that will continue to follow. Through rich, distinctive vocals and cathartic songwriting Chase's new single provides an opportunity to reflect.

The soothing instrumentals offer a gesture of comfort and a reminder that hope is always possible, even in the midst of uncertainty.

Sharing more, Chase explained: ‘As I’ve watched the world change, I’m struck by the way that history tends to deal in broad strokes. It can mark moments, but it can’t hold the pain or the real human cost. That weight lives on in people- in families, in communities- long after, in ways no record can capture. That truth sits heavy on my heart, and it’s something I can’t overlook. I think even beyond that, the song comes from the interconnectedness I see in the sense that our private pain also lives inside a collective struggle. I feel that if we can share in grieving, we can also share in healing, and I’m stubbornly hopeful in that. I think “History” is a quiet prayer longing for courage, and it’s my refusal to give in to the temptation of despair.’

‘History’ arrives as the second single to be released by Chase and follows on from her debut ‘Pretend Again’ which was released back in June.

Both tracks have had the brilliant Philip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Florist, Tomberlin) on production duty and were recorded in his New York studio. ‘I’ve been very inspired by classic singers like Nat King Cole and their orchestras and that big‑room, everyone‑all-together feel. Phil Weinrobe also made me fall in love with the ethos of recording without headphones which happens to be a part of that tradition” Chase shared.

Born in Georgia, USA, Chase gravitated towards music from an early age. The sound you hear today has evolved from a melting pot of influences such as Etta James, Nat King Cole, Celine Dion, Billy Joel and Adele. Those early inspirations along with her natural gift for penning honest and expressive lyricism pin her as an exciting new artist to watch. With a recent relocation to New York, there's lots of exciting things around the corner for Chase.
