Chase and Status - No More Idols

Chase and Status

Chase and Status are becoming one of the best acts on the DubStep scene and have been around since 2003 however they rose to the forefront of the music industry when they released their debut album, “More Than Alot”, which I haven’t been able to listen to yet, so unfortunately I won’t be comparing the album against the one I am about to review.

So Chase and Status are back with their new album “No More Idols”. Right from the start you know why they are the best at what they do, they are one of those bands whose songs are all over TV commercials but you don’t know who sings the music, so when every new song is on you will be saying to yourself “I know this song”, songs like “Blind Faith”, “Brixton Briefcase”, “Hitz” and “No Problem”.

If you look at the back of the album the first thing you will notice is the sheer amount of names that they have collaborated and not because they have collaborated with someone on every song but some of the names, “Tinie Tempah”, “Cee-Lo Green”, “Delilah”, “Tempa T” and “Maverick Sabre” to just name a few. This really helps to sell the album because there are so many household names endorsing this album.

A couple of my favourite songs include, the chill out sensation “Blind Faith”, the jungle bound “No Problems” and finally “Hitz” with the lyrical genius “Tinie Tempah”. I really enjoyed this album, it makes you want to get upon your feet and jump around like a loon which is definitely a good look in a club, possibly on your own but definitely not with your grandparents.

I would definitely recommend this album to, club goers and DubStep lovers. I have a feeling that over the next couple of years they will be absolutely massive in the club scene even if they are a large part of it already.
