Chromeo make a “Bad Decision” on funky new single: Stream
Head Over Heels is the forthcoming album from Chromeo, slated for release on June 15th through Big Beat/Atlantic. The band’s fifth overall and follow-up to 2014’s White Women is being previewed today with a single called “Bad Decision”.
The track struts like a Prince tune, but also draws influence from other iconic artists of the past. “This album is our love letter to all the different kinds of funk music that influenced us,” Chromeo’s Dave 1 told Zane Lowe. “Like from like the more soulful kinds of funk to the more like when you’re going to hear like a “Bad Decision”. It’s almost like kind of a Talking Heads kind of slow 80s funk bop to like the Funkadelic kind of stuff.”
Take a listen below.
