Album Notes

Matthew Chase's third CD, EVERYTHING, brings us edgy electric and acoustic guitars, combined with a mixture of soulful, emotional and aggressive vocals – Something like Coldplay and James Blunt crashing into Filter.

Matthew Chase posthumously won the 2008 Indie Singer-Songwriter Association (ISSA) Song Contest Lyrics of the Year award for his song "Believe." EVERYTHING has the ISSA award-winning single, “Believe,” as well as ISSA final nominees Single of the Year "Feel You Near" and Best Pop song for "All You Gave." Matthew Chase, wrote "Believe," a tender and poignant love song, last fall for his then bride-to-be, Sarah.

Sadly, just five months after the couple’s November 15, 2007 beachfront wedding, Matthew Chase, 33, was tragically killed off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, when a rogue wave capsized the shark diving vessel he was aboard.

Matthew Chase began writing songs for his debut CD, TOMORROW, in 2003. A compilation of eight, primarily acoustic-based songs, TOMORROW experiments with several different textures and musical styles. Building on this achievement, Chase released a more expansive and edgy CD, REMEMBER WHY, in 2006.
