New York City’s Onyx Collective has collaborated with Canadian funk partners Chromeo on their current single “Tango.” It is their third collaboration together and all of the songs are part of a larger project they are completing in the future. “Tango” is about fleeting relationships and sounds a bit like Steely Dan and ’80s funk. Saxophonist Isaiah says of “Tango”:Â
“A classic from the Onyx vaults. A love song that reflects the vibe of being young in New York and having relationships that don’t last forever but seem like they will in the moment.”

Last year the band released Onyx Plays Rodgers & Hart/ Rodgers & Hammerstein which was a collection of cover songs by legendary songwriting duos Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II and Rodgers & Lorenz Hart.
