Chromeo have launched their newest single ‘Replacements’ that includes La Roux –test it out beneath.
The Canadian duo – made up of David “Dave 1” Macklovitch and Patrick “P-Thugg” Gemayel – carried out the music reside throughout their Coachella units this yr, bringing out the synthpop singer as a particular visitor. In addition they gave La Roux’s largest hits ‘Bulletproof’ and ‘In For The Kill’ some Chromeo flare with electro-funk remixes of the songs.
The brand new single is the second taster of a brand new file following on from latest single ‘Phrases With You’.
“For our second single, we needed to take a 90-degree flip,” mentioned 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.”
He continued: “We’re an electro-funk band in spite of everything, and this file incorporates little nods to the 2000s indie dance sound that’s so pricey to us (fuzzy bass = prompt HypeMachine time warp).
“The concept was to mix sweaty dancefloor power with honest feelings. It’s the duality in our title: Chrome, the shimmery electronics, and Romeo, the heartfelt romantics.”
The duo rose to prominence with their 2007 second album ‘Fancy Footwork’, pioneering the ’80s electro-funk revival. Their 2014 fourth album, ‘White Girls’ peaked at Quantity One on the US Dance chart, and the duo’s most up-to-date album is 2018’s ‘Head Over Heels‘.
Earlier this yr, Chromeo teamed up with singer and bassist Blu DeTiger on ‘Blutooth’ and ‘Sufficient 4 U’. On working with the duo, DeTiger shared: “I’ve at all times admired their musicianship and style, each musically and aesthetically. They’re the consultants of cool.”
Final yr noticed La Roux return to the UK prime 10 when UK drill rapper Tion Wayne sampled ‘In For The Kill’ in his single ‘IFTK’.
Again in 2021, La Roux made headlines when she requested that Lava La Rue change their title as a result of it sounds “precisely the identical” as hers.
