The rest of the population will catch up. What this means is that Chromeo is really good at being Chromeo. The mission, the package, the vision—it’s been a straight shot of pure intentionality from the jump. These Chromeo dudes? They have the whole being-these-Chromeo-dudes thing totally wired. Electro-funk duo Chromeo formed in Montreal in the early 21st century, a project of former hip-hop producers Dave 1 and P-Thugg (news flash: not their given names). Dave handled guitars and vocals; P was the talkbox-wielding synth specialist. From the beginning, Chromeo made it clear that the name of their well-dressed game would be artful detachment, earnest songwriting, retro breakdowns, and gleaming plastic beats -- not serious intent or aggressive musical regime change. The duo’s highest Billboard debut, 2014’s White Women, featured Solange, Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, and in affirmation of their indebtedness to early-80’s R&B, vocalist Tawatha Agee (of Mtume). The pair returned in 2017 with the single “Juice.” Don’t miss Chromeo at Newport Music Hall on June 21st!
