Chromeo is an electronic/dance duo comprised of P-Thugg (Patrick Gemayel) and Dave 1 (David Macklovitch). As their Wikipedia entry so astutely states, "The two childhood friends jokingly describe themselves as "the only successful Arab/Jewish partnership since the dawn of human culture." They became relatively well-known with the release of their second album, Fancy Footwork, which featured the singles "Fancy Footwork", "Tenderoni", and "Bonafied Lovin'". I personally discovered them via their song "Opening Up (Ce Soir On Danse)".
"Night by Night" is the first single off Chromeo's third studio album, to be released in the summer of 2010. I don't really know how to describe it. The song is almost an '80s throw-back while simultaneously building on their discography in an organic, interesting way. It fits well in the electronic/dance genre that is becoming relatively popular (see La Roux, Ladyhawke). Frankly, the song is downright addictive and it makes me want to dance. I never want to dance, so that is damn impressive. I highly recommend this song.
On a completely unrelated note, I will be moving to South Korea tomorrow (Wednesday), so I will be indisposed of for the foreseeable future. I don't know when I'll have access to the internet again. Hopefully sometime soon, but you never know. Catch y'all on the flipside.
