Thrill of the Chase is the fourth studio album by Norwegian record producer and DJ Kygo. Released on 11 November 2022 through RCA Records, the album features guest appearances from James Gillespie, Zoe Wees, Dagny, X Ambassadors, R.I.Pablo, DNCE, Lukas Graham, Gryffin, Calum Scott, Sam Feldt, Emily Warren, Dean Lewis, Plested, and Stuart Crichton. Production was handled by Kygo, Gryffin, Feldt, and Crichton themselves, along with Robin Stjernberg, Petey Martin, Cirkut, David Stewart, Andrew Jackson, and Duck Blackwell. Serving as the follow-up to Kygo's previous album, Golden Hour (2020), Thrill of the Chase blends pop and dance music much like his previous releases.[1]
The album was released as a surprise with no prior announcement. However, Kygo hinted at a new album in an August 2022 interview with Audacy.[2] The day before it was released, he announced that there would be a surprise coming at midnight, which would be the next day.[3] On its release date, he explained the recording process of the album and shared his thoughts on it through a statement shared to EDM.com:
Thrill Of The Chase is a collection of songs I worked on over the last two years that started during Covid and ended with sessions in Los Angeles. I've had the chance to play or tease the unreleased music throughout the year at shows and the feedback was unbelievable. A few of the songs on Thrill Of The Chase are different from anything I've ever made in the past and I'm really excited for everyone to finally hear the album in its entirety.[4]
