Quit To Play Chess

Description

"Quit to Play Chess" is the final studio album by Californian Cola Boyy, who tragically passed away in March 2024 after winning the hearts of neo-disco and funk fans from Los Angeles to Paris, via London and Coachella.Following an EP (Black Boogie Neon, 2018) and a debut album (Prosthetic Boombox, 2021) praised by critics, collaborations with MGMT, Benny Sings and The Avalanches, the self-proclaimed Disabled Disco Innovator was able to put the finishing touches on a new album, groovier than ever.Boundless in style, tinged with hip-hop, R&B and drum & bass, and faithful to his unique phrasing, Cola Boyy offers us a final opus in his image: 12 generous, inventive, psychedelic and passionate tracks.The whole is linked by meticulous production work, featuring the names of Andrew VanWyngarden (MGMT), Lewis OfMan, Jared Solomon (producer for SZA, Lola Young, Remi Wolf, Fousheé...) and Nate Fox (Chance The Rapper, Lil Wayne) who finish establishing "Quit to Play Chess" as the most current and sincere project of its author.
