C'est Chic

C'est Chic, released in 1978 by Chic, presents the band's polished blend of disco and funk centered on Nile Rodgers' rhythmic guitar and Bernard Edwards' melodic bass. The album, written and produced by Rodgers and Edwards, features tight, syncopated grooves, layered strings and horns, and multi-part vocals, with standout tracks such as "Le Freak" and "I Want Your Love." Its sophisticated arrangements and studio sheen helped define Chic's signature sound and influenced later dance and R&B production.
