Pioneering electronic music duo Chase & Status are thrilled to announce the official release of their highly anticipated new single, ‘Backbone’, a collaboration with the inimitable British rap sensation, Stormzy. The track has been generating massive buzz online for weeks, following a surprise live performance from Stormzy at Chase & Status’ electrifying Ushuaïa Ibiza takeover.
‘Backbone’ merges Chase & Status’ signature high-energy beats with Stormzy’s powerful and commanding lyricism, creating an electrifying anthem that is set to dominate the summer charts. This single represents the coming together of two musical titans from different genres, blending the best of electronic music with the raw energy of UK Rap’s brightest star.
The track is already resonating with fans, thanks to its hard-hitting lyrics and infectious energy. Stormzy’s verses, including standout lines like “You ain’t got no backbone” and “Uh oh, who’s on what,” deliver a powerful message that complements the relentless beat crafted by Chase & Status.
Fans first got a taste of ‘Backbone’ at Coachella earlier this year, where Chase & Status debuted the track during their live set, leaving festival-goers and viewers worldwide in awe. The buzz continued to build, culminating in the aforementioned unforgettable surprise appearance by Stormzy in Ibiza, where the crowd witnessed a live performance of the track that has since gone viral.
“We are so gassed to work with the legend that is Stormzy. We’ve always wanted to bring his energy into our world and this are so excited for the fans to hear this collaboration.”
‘Backbone’ is already being hailed as a summer anthem and is expected to dominate dance floors and airwaves alike, not forgetting Chase & Status’ largest live show to date – their sold out 45,000 capacity performance at Milton Keynes Bowl on the 10th of August.
