Chromeo Unveils New Single MUST'VE BEEN Featuring DRAM & Jesse Johnson

Legendary funk duo Chromeo unveils "Must've Been" featuring multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated singer DRAM and guitarist Jesse Johnson (Prince, The Time) with a new video today. Watch the Dugan O'Neal-directed clip, which traces the two-piece's decades-spanning friendship, here.

The track is the latest single from their highly anticipated forthcoming album Head Over Heels, set for release June 15 on Big Beat/Atlantic Records.

The album, recorded over the past two years at Chromeo's Los Angeles studio, is the group's most collaborative to date. Bridging generations and sub-genres like only the Funklordz could, it features guest vocals from The-Dream, Stefflon Don, French Montana and Amber Mark, among others, plus musical contributions from neo-soul legend Raphael Saadiq, 2000s R&B mastermind Rodney Jerkins, D'Angelo collaborator Pino Palladino, NY's Onyx Collective, members of Mtume andToto and more. Far reaching and expansive, Head Over Heels is Dave 1 and P-Thugg's heartfelt love letter to the funk, soul and R&B that influenced them since their teenage years.

"Must've Been" sees Chromeo effortlessly moving toward more of a live sound, packed with signature guitars, synth swells, gospel flourishes and a surprising performance from DRAM. It follows "Juice," which The Guardian calls "a jaunty, electro-funk mega-banger," and "Bedroom Calling" featuring The-Dream, which Billboard lauds "quite honestly one of the best Chromeo songs we've heard in years."

The band kicked off the first leg of their world tour this week with sold out West Coast North American dates including Coachella, Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, Portland and San Diego. The tour continues later this spring with stops in Paris, Berlin and New York as well as appearances atBonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Primavera Sound and more. Tickets are on sale now-visitchromeo.net for more information.

Chromeo is the iconic duo of Montreal natives and high school best friends Dave 1 (David Macklovitch) and P-Thugg (Patrick Gemayel). The group rose to prominence with their seminal 2007 release Fancy Footwork, heralding the dawn of the '80s electro-funk revival.
