“I feel unappreciated”, Chase Forever

Musician Chase Forever on Thursday May 1 released a new single from his upcoming album titled ‘Unappreciated’.

The song, titled ‘Pull Me Down’, comes less than a week after NEWS-ONE reported that he had sacked his manager, Seven.

The R&B singer also officially announced he was no more Chase, but now Chase Forever due his new image branding.

The new song, he explained, was to address certain things happening in his career.

“It talks about my struggles; from the industry to my close relations, the ones I call a family. I feel unappreciated. I am planning my upcoming album launch and everybody around me has stopped picking my calls.

“It’s crazy and it’s almost as if there’s some agreement among the people around me to make sure I don’t drop the album. So I decided to put my frustrations in this song,” he said in a release on Thursday.

The song which he said was inspired by Jesus was exclusively released on some radio networks on Thursday before it finally made its way onto the internet and social media platforms.

Chase Forever is a recording artiste and songwriter who was born in Hackney Town, London.

He began his musical career as a rapper with the rap group, Souljas Inn, and then made a transition to R&B when he started receiving many plaudits for his song writing and singing during his college years.

His superb skill as a songwriter has seen him compose songs for several Ghanaian stars such as Jane (now Efya) and Adina of Stars of the Future fame and Mimi of Big Brother Africa fame.

Chase has also performed on the same stage with well acclaimed international stars like Mario and Shontelle.

He won Best Male Video of the Year at the 2012 4Syte Music Video Awards. Chase had three nominations for the 2013 edition of Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), including nomination for Record of the Year for his song ‘Lonely’, and Video of the Year. He won the Video of the Year category. He was also nominated for 2013 Channel O’s Music Video Awards in the Most Gifted R&B Video Category.

His songs ‘Finally’, ‘Lonely’, ‘Tell me your name’, and ‘Fire’ are still enjoying constant rotation on radio stations throughout Ghana.
