Adult Contemporary

Chromeo, the Canadian duo of Dave 1 (Dave Macklovitch) and P-Thugg (Patrick Gemayel), explore what it means to be funky in your 30s and 40s in their sixth studio album, Adult Contemporary. ''['Personal Effects'] is the last song we added on the album,'' says Dave 1. ''I was on a flight and the pilot said, ‘please don’t forget your personal effects’ and I was like, ‘wait how come this isn’t a Chromeo song title?!’ We felt like we needed a little breezy funk…something warm and fuzzy to bop to. You notice that long instrumental bit at the end? That’s definitely a motif on the album: extended sections where we let the music ride out. Adult Contemporary is a meditation on modern, mature relationships, which means: if we gotta sing about curling irons, so be it''.
