Chromeo has simply dropped their newest single known as ‘Replacements’ which options La Roux – see it beneath.
The Canadian duo consists of David “Dave 1” Macklovitch and Patrick “P-Thugg” Gemayel. Throughout their Coachella units earlier this yr, they carried out the music stay with singer and synthpop star, La Roux as a particular visitor. In addition they gave La Roux’s greatest hits corresponding to ‘Bulletproof’ and ‘In For The Kill’ a Chromeo twist with electro-funk remixes of the songs.
This new single is the second preview of a brand new file, following on from their current hit music titled ‘Phrases With You’.
“For our second single, we needed to take a 90-degree flip,” stated Macklovitch. “The groove stays, however whereas ‘Phrases With You’ feels free and natural, right here we let the keyboards and drum machines do the speaking.”
Macklovitch added, “We’re an electro-funk band in any case, and this file accommodates little nods to the 2000s indie dance sound that’s so pricey to us (fuzzy bass = immediate HypeMachine time warp).
“The concept was to mix sweaty dancefloor power with honest feelings. It’s the duality in our identify: Chrome, the shimmery electronics, and Romeo, the heartfelt romantics.”
The duo rose to prominence with their 2007 second album ‘Fancy Footwork’ which pioneered the 80s electro-funk revival. Their fourth album ‘White Girls’ peaked at No.1 on the US Dance chart in 2014 and their most up-to-date album was launched in 2018 titled ‘Head Over Heels’.
Earlier this yr, the group collaborated with singer and bassist Blu DeTiger on ‘Blutooth’ and ‘Sufficient 4 U’. About working with Chromeo, DeTiger shared: “I’ve at all times admired their musicianship and style, each musically and aesthetically. They’re the consultants of cool.”
Final yr, La Roux returned to the UK high 10 when UK drill rapper Tion Wayne sampled ‘In For The Kill’ in his single ‘IFTK’.
In 2021, La Roux made headlines when she requested that Lava La Rue change their identify as a result of it sounds “precisely the identical” as hers.
