Video Description:
Che Fu - Chains (original)
Che Fu is one of New Zealand's most successful male vocalists, who began his music career at high school with a group of friends. They formed the Low Down Dirty Blues Band, but would go on to change their name to the legendary Supergroove. Their debut album 'Traction' sold triple platinum and went on to win countless awards.
Che parted ways with Supergroove in 1996. One week after Che left Supergroove he went on to #1 success with DLT and the single 'Chains'.
In 1997 Che released his debut solo album '2b S.Pacific' on BMG which was soon certified platinum. At the New Zealand Music Awards that year Che received awards for Single of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and the prestigious Male Vocalist of the Year.
Che then signed to Sony Music and began writing material for his album 'Navigator'. He also formed an eight piece live band called The Krates. Together Che and The Krates spent the summer performing new material at such events as Big Day Out and Pacifika.
Che-Fu released an album of his greatest hits and new material on August 28, 2006.
'Hi-Score: The Best Of Che-Fu' features singles from Che's three solo albums - '2b S.Pacific', 'Navigator' and 'Beneath The Radar' -- including 'Misty Frequencies', 'Fade Away', 'Scene III', 'Waka', 'Random', 'Lightwork' and more.
The album will also feature four new tracks. The first to be serviced to media will be 'Chains Reloaded' -- a remix of his #1 hit single 'Chains' featuring P-Money and Savage. 'Chains Reloaded' will impact at radio in July, marking the 10 year anniversary of when the original 'Chains' debuted at #1 in 1996.
On release in 1996, 'Chains' went straight to #1 on the NZ Singles charts, and stayed there for 5 consecutive weeks. 'Chains' reached platinum and was the landmark single that brought NZ Hip Hop to mass attention.
Other new material on the album will include a Duet with Dawnraid signing Aaradhna, and two other new tracks.
Che Fu was a founding member of legendary local band Supergroove. Responsible for a string of what have gone on to become classic kiwi anthems, Supergroove generated a staggering 6 Top 10 hits throughout the 90s. Amongst them the gold singles 'Scorpio Girls' & 'Sitting Inside My Head', platinum-selling 'Can't Get Enough' & 'You Gotta Know', live standouts 'Next Time', 'You Freak Me' & 'Here Comes The Supergroove', and many more.
Che's debut solo album '2b S.Pacific' was released in 1997. It launched 4 Top 10 singles ('Chains', 'Scene III', 'Without A Doubt' and 'Waka'), charted at #1, and sold 2 x Platinum - a landmark for a local urban record at the time.
In 2001, Che released the follow-up album 'Navigator'. 'Navigator' debuted at #1 and stayed there for 3 successive weeks, going on to generate close to 4 x platinum in sales. It featured the singles 'Fade Away', 'Random', and the APRA Silver Scroll winning 'Misty Frequencies'.
Che's latest solo album 'Beneath The Radar' was released in 2005 and includes the singles 'Lightwork' and 'Mysterious Vibe'
