Chromeo - 'Needy Girl'

The riff to ‘Needy Girl’ is irresistibly smooth, the hook is surprisingly catchy and the whole track glides along with a sensual ease. In fact, these plus points almost make up for the cringe-worthy inclusion of a fake in-studio phone call. Not quite, obviously. “Hello. Hey, what’s up baby? Yo, whatever.” Followed by scratching, that thankfully forgotten art. Why, Chromeo, why? A superior song, funky enough to dance to, tranquil enough to unwind to, needlessly ruined.
