Praised across the board by the likes of Pigeons & Planes, High Snobiety, The 405, Clash Magazine, Hillydilly and more – the Chez Ali project was born in London in 2014; with Elias working with the project on-and-off since its conception. Care 4 U is the first taste of a string of singles that will be released throughout the upcoming months and sees the saxophone take a big place just as it's done on stage for Chez Ali during the last year.
Debut EP Buenas Noches Club was released in 2018 with four tracks ranging from melancholic ballad Blue Cheese to dancy indie pop on Adore You. The description by Highsnobiety "If Mac DeMarco was attractive in a non-gross way and used a drum machine.” pretty much sums up the general vibe of Chez Ali in one short sentence.
Elias on the new single: “After 2 years of not releasing music, I'm finally ready to share some new material that I've been writing in between live performances and, as of lately, discodancing on Instagram live streams. With the new material I've tried to challenge myself and expand my sound. Care 4 U is the first sample of what's to come and draws influences from my love for jazz and artists such as Jeff Buckley. Lyrically it's about uncertainties and insecurities in a relationship in terms of not knowing where the two parties stand emotionally.”
Performing live for the first time in Stockholm towards the end of 2017 to rapturous praise, Chez Ali has since then played multiple shows in Sweden, the UK and at by:larm as well as opening for Dream Wife and Gus Dapperton in Stockholm.
Care 4 U is out on all digital platforms August 21st via Rama Lama Records (Steve Buscemi’s Dreamy Eyes, Melby, Kluster B, Julia Rakel etc.)
