“I could be your boyfriend and your counsellor because tonight might damage ya.” sings Chromeo’s Dave 1 on the cheeky ‘Sexy Socialite’, a track which at first tries on a disco-funk bassline before morphing into the kind of synth pulse that Chromeo became known for on their breakout album Fancy Footwork. There’s a lady (the sexy socialite) in question defending herself and some funk jamming outro that takes the track past six minutes. Never change Chromeo.
Their new album White Women also features Ezra Koening, Solange Pat Mahoney to singer Tawatha Agee of Mtume who sang ‘Juicy Fruit’. No release date yet.
