Adult Contemporary (album)

Adult Contemporary is the sixth studio album by Canadian electro-funk duo Chromeo. It was released on February 16, 2024, via BMG.

Background

Thematically, the album centres around mature relationships and "staying funky in your 30s and 40s". According to Macklovitch, the title is a "play around that double entendre of maturity, but also sexiness."

Critical reception

Adult Contemporary received generally favorable reviews from music critics. Writing for The Line of Best Fit, David Cobbald praised the album as "a whole lot of fun" and a "return to form" for the band. In a less favorable Pitchfork review, the album was described as "grown and sexy", and "a well-made 2010s pastiche of disco-funk". The Arts Desk opined that the album "has its moments, but never breaks a sweat". In a mostly favorable review, Flood magazine noted "a sound far less overproduced than their recent material", but criticized some of the lyrics.
