New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Chromeo debuts a new track today! The song is the latest release from their highly anticipated forthcoming album Head Over Heels, out June 15 on Big Beat/Atlantic Records and available for pre-order here.
Furthermore, tonight the band performs the Head Over Heels lead single "Must've Been" on The
Tonight Show Starring
Jimmy Fallon alongsideDRAM, legendary funk guitarist
Jesse Johnson and The Roots. Safe to say the late-night airwaves are in for a funk extravaganza.
Head Over Heels, recorded over the past two years at Chromeo's Los Angeles studio, is the group's most collaborative effort to date. Bridging generations and sub-genres like only the Funklordz could, it features guest vocals from The-Dream, Stefflon Don,
French Montana and
Amber Mark, among others, plus musical contributions from neo-soul legend
Raphael Saadiq, 2000s R&B mastermind Rodney Jerkins, D'Angelo collaborator Pino Palladino, Nuyorican jazz ensemble Onyx
Collective and more. Far reaching and expansive, Head Over Heels is Dave 1 and P-Thugg's heartfelt love letter to the funk, soul and R&B that has influenced them since their teenage years.
"Bad Decision" follows the single "Must've Been" featuring DRAM- released a month ago and already streamed close to 5 million times - as well as "
Juice", which The Guardian calls "a jaunty, electro-funk mega-banger," and "Bedroom Calling" featuring The-Dream, which Billboardlauds as "quite honestly one of the best
Chromeo songs we've heard in years."
After a sold-out West Coast run and a smashing set on Coachella's main stage, the band is adding a headline show in LA at the Hollywood Palladium on August 10. Until then, catch the Funklordz in the U.K. and
Europe at the end of May, in New York and all over the East Coast in June, and crushing all major festivals: Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Primavera Sound and more. Tickets are on sale now-visit chromeo.net for more info.
Chromeo is the iconic duo of Montreal natives and high school best friends Dave 1 (David Macklovitch) and P-Thugg (Patrick Gemayel). The group rose to prominence with their seminal 2007 release Fancy Footwork, heralding the dawn of the '80s electro-funk revival.
