Chad Astaphan to release debut album

Cover of the album

Rising local artiste Chad Astaphan has released three new singles to promote his debut album “Playback” set to be released on November 20.

Astaphan is well known for his hit single  ‘Breath Away’ and the new singles to be released are “Take Me High,” “Gave U Everything” and “Party” .

“Take me High” is written by Chad and produced by Karllian (Falcon Da Don) James of FullyGrown Entertainment (C) 2012. It is is a Club/Pop/Rock inspired song, the artiste indicated in a release.

“This track takes you to another side of Chad’s style and what he likes to listen to in the club,” the producers said.

They say on the other hand “Gave U Everything” is an emotional ballad and introduces fans to the softer side of the artiste. That song was written by Astaphan and produced by McKean Williams. It is a RnB/Pop inspired song.

“Party” is a Techno/Carib Pop which combines the dancehall Caribbean flavour album with a Pop twist, the artiste said.

It was written and produced by Falcon Da Don.

“Playback” will be available in local music outlets and stores next week. The album will also available on ITunes and Amazon.

Chad burst onto the spotlight after placing second in the 2011 Q Talent Search competition.
