The release of “(I Don’t Need A) New Girl” marks the completion of a cohesive trilogy of singles for Chromeo. The first installment, “Replacements,” featuring the iconic artist La Roux, received high praise for its indie sleaze vibes and infectious danceability. The track made its debut during Chromeo’s performance at Coachella, where La Roux surprised audiences with a live collaboration.
Following “Replacements,” Chromeo released “Words With You,” a track hailed by Stereogum as their favorite creation from the Canadian synth-funk duo. The song’s catchy hooks and irresistible groove caught the attention of Taco Bell, leading to its inclusion in an international ad campaign.

This marks their first headline tour in over four years, and fans can expect energetic performances and a visual spectacle. The tour includes dates at renowned venues such as Brooklyn Steel in New York and the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto.
