Chase Shakur delivers with the ‘WONDERLOVE +’ project
It’s more than just the original album. How about getting more tunes and visuals courtesy of Shakur with this revamped drop? Tap in.
Following widespread acclaim and one accolade after another this year, Atlanta-born R&B luminary Chase Shakur re-ups, recharges, and reignites his full-length debut album, WONDERLOVE, with an expanded Deluxe Edition out now. As such, he presents the most comprehensive and cohesive vision of this body of work, enhanced and extended with seven previously unreleased songs. Listen to WONDERLOVE+ HERE. Watch “where da luv” visualizer HERE.
The new material showcases the scope of his vision. Among many highlights, “hide & seek” layers airy vocals into the fabric of lush strings. He alternates between sensitive verses and a soaring hook, going on to urge, “Gotta open up for me.” Elsewhere, “decatur baby” doubles as a de facto hometown anthem for Shakur. Just above the soundscape, a synth loop shimmers, the slick drums pulsate, and his blissful vocals captivate. Teeming with anticipation, he confesses, “Every time I see you girl, I can’t contain it.” Then, there’s “i’m ready.” This time around, he teams up with German-Nigerian phenomenon ODEAL. Together, their voices naturally volley back and forth, culminating on another hypnotic hook. Finally, “where da luv” teams Shakur with Girlfriend. Their chemistry powers the track, and Shakur’s vocals ripple through the hazy production. While flexing his range, he poses a question, “Girl you know I gotta ask, where da luv?”
This is WONDERLOVE at its most otherworldly, and this is Shakur at his most undeniable.
Check out the full tracklisting below.
He teased the Deluxe with “tell me why.” Beyond amassing nearly 1 million streams and counting, it received critical acclaim with plugs from Global Grind and The Hype Magazine.
Representative of his growing profile, UGG recently welcomed Shakur as an Official Partner. He proudly donned a myriad of brand staples with panache as part of this campaign. He also locked in with HYPEBEAST for a special feature, pulling back the curtain on his world and showcasing his personal UGG favorites.
Not to mention, the original WONDERLOVE has reeled in over 1 million total streams and incited tastemaker applause. Billboard praised it as “a moody, introspective emotional odyssey through a soundscape that amalgamates gospel, soul, dancehall, Miami bass, trap, Afrobeats and more.” Meanwhile, Rated R&B raved, “Across 16 sprawling tracks, Shakur peregrinates through love’s euphoria, fueled by a mix of genres — R&B, jazz, hip-hop, dancehall — to keep the journey thrilling.”
Be on the lookout for a whole lot more from Shakur soon.
