Which guest artists appear on White Women?
Come Alive features Chaz Bundick of Toro y Moi, Lost on the Way Home features Solange, and Ezra's Interlude features Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend. Those appearances give the 2014 album a wider pop and indie-dance cast than a two-person recording alone.
Why does White Women sound so deliberately retro?
Chromeo uses 1980s synth textures and drum machines alongside guitar and P-Thugg's talk box. The result is a modern 2014 dance record built from electro-funk, dance-pop, and R&B references.
What does the title White Women refer to?
The title references Helmut Newton's 1976 photography book White Women. Chromeo uses the title in a playful relationship-centered context rather than presenting the album as a documentary about race or gender. [Time review](https://time.com/92697/review-chromeo-white-women/)
