American artist Chad Post brings a wealth of creative influences to his music, drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical icons ranging from Lana Del Rey to Bob Marley & The Wailers. With a background in poetry and cinematography, Chad infuses his music with vivid imagery and emotional depth, creating a sonic fabric that’s struck a chord with listeners around the world on a profound level.
Having made his debut with the single “Unlovable” in 2018, accompanied by a thrilling music video, Chad quickly caught the attention of producers eager to collaborate with him. His subsequent EP, The Gilded Age, showcased his nostalgic alternative pop sound and earned him acclaim on Spotify.
With the release of his first full-length album, Delusions of Grandeur, in January 2020, Chad confirmed his status as a must-watch artist and established his production house, Post + Present Productions. Followed by albums two and three, the trilogy of records told an over-arching story across the releases as Chad continued to go from strength to strength with each move.
Now, with his upcoming EP titled ‘Static’ set to drop next month, he brings us his latest release with the new single lifted from the EP, “Safe Keeping.” From the very start of the song, Chad dazzles listeners with his powerful tenor voice and emotive delivery, posing poignant questions about life’s uncertainties.
Ushered in by his soaring vocals drifting above silky textures, he spins bright melodies as the atmospheric rattle of percussive shots and airy instrumental plucks stab the arrangement with intricate, playful touches. Building with the strike of the beat, a pop-focused alternative R&B sound takes shape as Chad’s compelling voice flows alongside delicate guitar notes to deliver a truly alluring sound of memorable melodies and stunning instrumentation.
Brought to life by producer Aria Jay, the song serves up captivating storytelling lyricism filtered through a gripping pop soundscape with wide appeal. Brimming with impactful rhythm, infectiously catchy writing and exquisite vocal performance, “Safe Keeping” sees Chad Post deliver another exceptional work of art that builds the excitement for his upcoming EP.
Commenting on his forthcoming EP, he offers, “There is a very current, yet dark pop sound that drives this project… I would say STATIC is the sound between the music. For me, the project was less about writing a really poppy or catchy song and more about emotion and feel.”
