One year after releasing the cult sensation, “Everything’s Fine,” Quelle Chris announces a new solo album is on the way. The Detroit emcee’s forthcoming album, Guns, slated for release on March 29 via Mello Music Group will feature Jean Grae, Bilal Salaam, Denmark Vessey and many more.
Get a taste of Guns, with Chris’ all-star second single, “Straight Shot” featuring Cavalier, Bilal Salaam, Grammy Nominated pianistEldar Djangirov, and comedianJames Acaster.
When asked about the track Chris said, “Straight Shot is one of those ideas that reached out to me, we got along and I simply showed it around town. The chorus, poem at the end and basic piano progression literally came to me in two separate dreams. My first thoughts were ‘I gotta introduce you to Bilal Salaam and James Acaster. Though I’m not sure just how to yet.’ Then as we hung out I knew I needed to first introduce the idea to Chris Keys. Now initially I thought it was an interlude but quickly realized while hanging with Chris it was a song.”
Later adding “after writing the first verse I knew I needed to invite Cavalier over to meet our new friend and felt it was time to also introduce it to Bilaal and James. And, just as I’d imagined, everyone got along with the song swimmingly. Finally, Chris called on his friend, Eldar Djangirov, who tied everything together with a piano solo that seemed to effortlessly say as much as, if not more, than I can put into words about the entire song and our time together. The rest, as they say, is today.”
