C'est Chic

Chic

Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards created this record following a rejection from Studio 54, which spurred the song Le Freak. Their signature guitar chucking and interlocking bass patterns influenced the sound of late seventies dance tracks.

Sophisticated arrangements and string sections provide a texture beyond common disco. Recorded at Atlantic Studios, the project remains a study in clean engineering that maintains a vibrant groove.
