Canadian electrofunk duo Chromeo (childhood mates P-Thugg and Dave 1) may finally have themselves a global hit! The boys, who hail from Montreal, Quebec, have been fairly successful in their homeland, yet they've failed to make a real splash globally.
Chromeo have released three albums over the course of the last seven years - their debut album, She's in Control, was released in 2004. Late 2010 they released Business Casual - their most successful album to date - and off that is the single that I think may make some noise for them globally.
Hot Mess is the name of that track. It's very 80's synth with sexy guitars, very reminiscent of Prince's hey-day. So much so in fact, that I've already been dancing 'round mixing the lyrics of Hot Mess and Prince's Kiss in my bedroom. Hmmm, too much information.
Anywho. What really seals the deal for me is that Hot Mess features the guest vocals of Elly Jackson (lead singer of La Roux). Elly adds the perfect finishing touch to the track. Oh... I just love it!
Check out the video below - unfortunately it doesn't feature Miss Jackson, but it's a good clip none the less. Enjoy!
Look out for Chromeo feat. Elly Jackson on iTunes soon. The current album version does not contain Elly on vocals. [ITUNES]
