The Greatest Music
Risqué
by Chic
The 148th greatest album of all time
Risqué, released by Chic in 1979, is a polished disco album that blends funk and soul with tight, syncopated bass lines, Nile Rodgers' rhythmic guitar, and layered strings and horns. The record emphasizes danceable grooves and sophisticated arrangements, with songs built around rhythmic interplay and memorable melodic hooks. It is widely regarded as one of the group's definitive late 1970s recordings and includes the well known groove-centered track "Good Times."
