Music News: Chase and Status Blind Faith

Chase & Status return with the release of Blind Faith featuring rising star Liam Bailey on the 24th January, out through Vertigo Records. The cross-over dub-step smash is sure to be another hit for the duo, Will Kennard and Saul Milton, and precedes the release of their highly anticipated second album No More Idols out on January 31st. The album release is followed by their fourth live headline tour – the ‘No More Idols’ Tour and kicks off in Southampton on the 9th March.

Their most recent single Hypest Hype was released as a free download last week and was described by the Guardian Guide as the ‘best thing I’ve heard this decade’, it exceeded all expectations, with over 50,000 people downloading in its first week. Before that, Chase & Status released the top ten smashes End Credits ft Plan B and Let You Go ft Mali as well as the street single Heavy, the critically acclaimed collaboration with Dizzee Rascal and Chase & Status.

Whether it is Drum & Bass, Hip-Hop, or Dubstep, the duo’s versatility has enabled them to become leaders within the most cutting edge genres. In the past 18 months their production work includes some highly-praised remix work for Jay Z and The Prodigy’s recent comeback and the twosome produced a bunch of tracks on Rihannas 4th album Rated R.
