Nile Rodgers & Chic er tilbake

Nile Rodgers & Chic er tilbake med sitt første album på 25 år. Albumet, det tiende i rekken, har fått tittelen It's About Time og slippes 7. september.

Rodgers har selv skrevet og produsert det nye albumet og blant dem som bidrar finner man Nao, Craig David, Stefflon Don, Mura Masa, Anderson .Paak og Vic Mensa.

“I’ve had the great privilege of producing some of the greatest artists in the world so when it came time to collaborating for my own record the barometer was shall we say pretty high. Nao, Mura Masa and Cosha were important to me" - sier Nile om samarbeidet.

Duckie Thot og Jazzelle Zanaughtti er på det nye coveret som er en re-make av debutalbumet fra 1977.

Om coveret sier Rodgers; “When I first came up with the concept for the first CHIC album cover more than 40 years ago it was a deliberate statement that we could all be abundant, we could all be with the beautiful people, we could all be included, we could all have good times. Looking at the world today for the release of It’s About Time I felt that it was important to make those statements again for a new generation”.

I løpet av sommeren kan man oppleve Nile Rodgers & Chic live i Europa på diverse festivaler.
