CHROMEO: Momma's Boy

Another odd single, this time from Montreal electro-funksters Chromeo. The electric piano is in full deployment with Dave 1's smooth pop vocals and spritey lyrics. The eighties are an undying and suprisingly vital pop zombie. Animated video directed by Stephane Manel with artists David Devaux, Richar Mvogo and Stephane Manel. Watch the music video (qt).

CHROMEO: Bonafide Lovin'

Good times party duo Chromeo continue to bring back eighties inspired electrofunk with a third single from their sophamore release, Fancy Footwork. I was fortunate enough to catch the twosome as they brought the house down recently at the Bowery Ballroom. It absolutely blows my mind the Dave1 (aka David Macklovitch) is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Columbia university. Bonafide brilliant. This video is a riff off the iconic Money For Nothing Dire Straits video, reinterpreted by director Nima Nourizadeh. Watch the music video (qt).

DJ MEHDI: I Am Somebody

Paris DJ Medhi teams up with Montreal Dave 1 of Chromeo for a killer electrofunk pop locker. The simple, old school vibing video directed by So-Me underlies a single so killer, everytime I throw it down at a party, the kids all line up and ask who it is. The album , Lucky Boy, drops digitally statesides eminently. Watch the music video (qt).
