Chromeo first announced their long-awaited fifth LP, Head Over Heels, way back in November. Today, the Funk Lordz finally confirmed a release date for the album: June 15th release date via Big Beat/Atlantic Records. It serves as the follow-up 2014’s White Women.
We’ve already heard the funk duo pair up with The-Dream on the pre-release single “Bedroom Calling”. Now it’s been revealed that other Head Over Heels guests include vocal contributions from French Montana, Stefflon Don, and Amber Mark, as well as some instrumental work from Raphael Saadiq, R&B mainstay Rodney Jerkins, and D’Angelo collaborator Pino Palladino, among others.
Grammy-nominated singer DRAM also guests on the album, appearing on “Must’ve Been” alongside guitarist Jesse Johnson (Prince, The Time). Director Dugan O’Neal’s raucous video for the cut chronicles the friendship of Chromeo’s Dave 1 and P-Thugg at various stages of their life. Like the song, it’s charming and infectious in its kaleidoscopic sense of abandon. Watch it below.
Chromeo have also announced new live dates in Canada and North America, as well as their appearance at festivals like Coachella, Montreal’s Osheaga Music & Arts Festival, Quebec City’s Festival D’Ete, and London’s All Points East. See their full itinerary below, and grab tickets here.
