New Sauce Alert! Boston’s own Chase Murphy is back and he’s taking us on a wild ride with his latest music video, “Shades On”—and trust me, this one is all about embracing the spirit of adventure and living life with your foot on the gas. If you’re looking for a track that’s got energy, swagger, and a vibe that makes you want to roll the windows down and chase the horizon, “Shades On” is your new anthem.

Dropped May 27th, 2025, “Shades On” is a single that clocks in at just under three minutes, but it packs a punch that’ll have you hitting repeat all summer long. The video, directed by Happy Belated and shot by Daymian Mejia, is a visual celebration of freedom and good times. From the jump, you can feel the sense of movement—Chase is out here living, exploring, and inviting you to do the same. The visuals are crisp, the colors pop, and the whole thing feels like a mini road trip with your crew, sun blazing and possibilities endless..

Musically, “Shades On” is a danceable, high-energy track giving it that euphoric, feel-good bounce that’s perfect for any adventure or when you just chilling. The production (shoutout to Cooper Folden) is smooth and modern, with background vocals by Philosofie and a touch of live trombone from Cus Campbell, adding a unique flavor to the mix. Chase’s flow is effortless, and the lyrics are all about seizing the moment, shaking off the past, and stepping into the light—literally and metaphorically. Lines like “The sun been on my side / Onto new horizons, yeah / God been on my line / Oh, the future blinding / So put your shades on and find your way home” capture that feeling of optimism and forward motion

The video’s vibe matches the song’s message: don’t wait, don’t look back, and don’t let anything dim your shine. Whether he’s referencing “Golden Boy to the Gold Coast” or dropping clever lines about his journey, Chase Murphy is all about making the most of every moment and encouraging you to do the same.

So if you’re ready to catch a vibe, embrace the adventure, and let the music take you somewhere new, “Shades On” is the move. Throw on your shades, turn up the volume, and let Chase Murphy be your soundtrack to summer and beyond. Watch “Shades On” now
