Chet Faker releases uplifting new cut "Feel Good"
Chet Faker has released his uplifting new single "Feel Good", which will appear on his first Chet Faker album in seven years, Hotel Surrender.
"Feel Good" lands after the April lead single "Whatever Tomorrow", and is accompanied by a self-directed video that sees Chet Faker, real name Nick Murphy, rollerblading down a desert road. Murphy says, "I broke my hand filming this last week and I don’t regret one bit of it."
Hotel Surrender will follow his 2014 album Built on Glass, and is produced and written by Murphy. The album will also include previous singles "Low" and "Get High".
Murphy adds of the upcoming album, "There were a lot of heavy perspective shifters for me. I really just thought of the music in a different light. I look at it as a mass therapy now. I think I used to see it as this plight, like I was on a crusade or this creative odyssey. Now I see that it’s more Shamanistic. You’ve got to find some light - or sometimes dark, whatever’s right - and share it. I realised that was the heart of the Chet Faker project. And I felt like the world was hurting, so I thought, ‘I can do a small something to give people some joy'."
