CHANCE WATERS (formerly Phatchance) has ditched the moniker and is set to burst back onto the Australian music scene with his sophomore record Infinity. His debut album Inkstains saw him crowned a triple j unearthed featured artist and touring the country regularly, both as a headline act and in support of Australian mainstays such as Bliss N Eso, Illy, Drapht, Pez & 360 as well as international heavy-weights including Method Man & Redman, DJ Premier and the Beatnuts.
’Young and Dumb’ was produced by One Above (Maybe Tomorrow/Heard It All - Illy /I Love It - Hilltop Hoods/Sia).
It features a who's who of Sydney indie musicians and Unearthed acts, live horns by Lime Cordiale, strings by members of Cogel & Aston.
On the collaboration with Bertie Blackman:
Chance is a big fan of Bertie's work, her new single went to radio exactly the same day as ’Maybe Tomorrow’. With the song concept in mind Chance needed the right female vocalist to complete the track. He felt Bertie and himself were moving in parellel in their production, sound and pop asthetic. After numerous skype conversations and e mails a friendship was forged and thus commenced this exciting collaboration. Bertie and Chance are currently working on the ’Young and Dumb’ video concept together.
Previous single 'Maybe Tomorrow' was added to high rotation on triple j and subsequently picked up by a slew of stations and networks nationally, flying to #9 on the most added national radio chart and #4 on the most added alternative national radio chart. These achievements, coupled with a lucrative promotional synch in National Geographic's internationally franchised program 'Doomsday Preppers' assisted ‘Maybe Tomorrow’ to remain steadfast in the iTunes urban top 50 for 10 weeks straight, peaking at #16 and #105 on the overall charts.
