Chromeo and La Roux Team Up for New Single
Published Nov 10, 2010
The last we heard from La Roux, singer Elly Jackson was claiming that she was done with electro-pop, saying, "The whole genre is so over. It was my thing and I'm bored with it. If I see anything more '80s-themed, I'm going to bust." It's a little surprising, then, that Jackson will be lending her pipes to the new single from Canadian electro-funk duo Chromeo.
The single is for the track "Hot Mess," a version of which appears on Chromeo's recent Business Casual LP. According to Popjustice [via AUX], La Roux added a completely new chorus, which comes in at the 0:46 mark. Click on the embedded video below to listen to the album cut and try to imagine what that new chorus is going to sound like.
There will also reportedly be a video to accompany the track and the single will be out on January 17 in the UK. However, so far there is no word on a North American release date.
