The long awaited Crookers debut album Tons Of Friends is finally upon us and let us be the first to say that it’s actually quite good for a pop album. By no means are the Crookers selling out in this one – they’re simply applying their producing talent to a different sound. Yes it’s true that not all the tracks are particularly that good, but there are definitely a few that make up for that. The album is twenty tracks of collaborations with other artists (thus the name Tons of Friends) and each of the tracks caters to the genre of artist that is featured on the track. While the tunes featuring popular music stars such as Pitbull and Will.I.Am don’t really float our musical boat, there are others such as those featuring Tim Burgess, Porier & Face-T, Miike Snow and Yelle that are an exhibition of the duo’s diverse talent if nothing else.
The latter is probably our favorite and the one that we present to you today. Yelle is an extremely talented French vocalist whose original tracks gave way to tones of brilliant remixes and the collaboration with Crookers is simply beautiful. It just so damn French and so damn perfect. Cooler Couleur is the track of this album and while the DJs out there probably won’t be playing this out it’s bound to be a hit on your car stereo or at those poolside barbecues that are imminent as we come into spring.
