Chase Shakur Announces WONDERLOVE, His Next Album
Chase Shakur continues with his keen songwriting which unravels the complexities of modern love, communicating vast emotions with economical turns of phrase. Today, the Atlanta native officially announces WONDERLOVE, his next album, an exploration of love’s highs and lows, delivered in Chase’s immersive and atmospheric R&B style. Populated by shimmering synths and subsonic bass, WONDERLOVE is designed to overwhelm the senses like the early stages of lust, while Chase’s delicate vocals hint at the fragility of romantic feeling. With the full tracklist to be announced, WONDERLOVE arrives on February 7th via Def Jam Recordings and is currently available for pre-order.
“WONDERLOVE is the best work my team and I have created so far,” says Chase Shakur. “This album is an exploration of love in all its forms, with each track offering a unique perspective and feeling. I’m excited for fans to immerse themselves in the world of WONDERLOVE and experience everything we’ve poured into it.”
Chase prepared his fans for WONDERLOVE by releasing a series of sterling singles from the project to close out 2024. In September, Chase dug deep into his psyche with the haunting “LIMERENCE,” praised by UPROXX, BET, Rated R&B, and more. He followed “LIMERENCE” with the spritely “[http://]2OfUs,” and its accompanying music video, and most recently, he shared the lush and seductive “FOCUS ON ME.”
WONDERLOVE continues Chase Shakur’s run as one of the most exciting R&B artists in Atlanta and beyond. He started his rise in 2022, after dropping out of school to focus on music and getting kicked out of his house in the process. He quickly found success with his 2022 debut project, It’ll Be Fine, home to cult hits like “too far close” (38 million Spotify streams) and “i don’t want to fall in love, it’s too late now” (35.3 million Spotify streams), which drew the attention of Def Jam Recordings. In 2023, Chase capitalized on that album’s success by releasing the it’s not you, it’s me EP, and its companion, it’s not you, it’s me…it’s love, earning him praise from outlets like Billboard, Office Magazine, Lyrical Lemonade, and more.
2024 was a busy one for Chase Shakur, filled with new singles and high-profile performances. In March, just before performing at Rolling Stone’s Future Of Music Showcase at SXSW, Chase shared “THE STUNT-MAN PACK,” a double single featuring “YOLANDA,” an airy, uptempo, and wistful club anthem, and the off-kilter slow jam “OPTIONS.” Over the summer, Chase toured the globe with The Kid LAROI on the Australian artist’s “The First Time Tour.”
Readying himself for a massive 2025, Chase Shakur aims to change the R&B conversation with WONDERLOVE. Stay tuned for much more from the exciting young artist in the near future. Check out our previous coverage on Chase Shakur here.
