Chase & Status experimented with elements of hip-hop, indie and even Bollywood on last year's debut album
More Than Alot. So well-regarded were the results that they landed the pair – Saul Milton and Will Kennard - a production gig on the new Rihanna album. Now, making the most of the buzz, they're back with new single 'End Credits'.
Kicking off with a simple guitar riff that could almost pass for The Feeling, it's only when the beats drop around the minute mark that this becomes an identifiably Chase & Status affair. Combining their thumpingly effective d&b beats with strings, more guitars and Plan B's tender vocals, 'End Credits' has a soaring, cinematic feel while remaining perky enough to pack out the dancefloor. Proof positive, then, why Chase & Status are now being sought out by pop A-listers.
