![]() After hearing the vocals of some of the late members such as Bernard Edwards and Luther Vandross on some of these unreleased tracks, Rodgers then made it a goal to create this album. It’s About Time originated when Rodgers received a box of unfinished music back in 2010. Previously, Rodgers had announced that robot duo is making a short film in honor of Chic’s upcoming album. Rodger’s previously collaborated with Daft Punk on their 2013 album, one of which was on the smash hit in 2013, “Get Lucky”. The video also gives a nice nod to Daft Punk, as Random Access Memories is among the albums in the pile that Kloss is laying next to. I’m very thankful to be debuting it exclusively w Music on Facebook to the world.

She, visualizes the past looking at old school vinyl – then gets dressed and goes out to a current party to meet up with Stephen Galloway and the current # CHIC lineup happens to be play ing live. She sees the original group (who plays this track) on Soul Train. Karlie Kloss connects the past and present. ![]() We’ve tried to capture all the nuances in the full length video and still keep it fun. “ # IllBeThere is a moving concept for me about decisions we make in life. After waiting four long years since the Lost CHIC Tapes were recovered, I'm finally putting out our first record. “The outtake became a new song called, “I’ll Be There,” so named because when I discovered my band’s co-founder Bernard Edwards’ body a few hours after he’d passed away, I said, “Now, I can be there for you in death, the way you were there for me in life.” Nile Rodgers, the last remaining original member of Chic, went to his site to explain the songs origin and how it originated after working on a track for Sister Sledge. “I don’t want to live in the past,” a typically salacious group of Chic chick singers coos, “but it’s a nice place to visit.” Thankfully, Chic’s “I’ll Be There” is all of that, and more.“I’ll be There” is a collaboration with the Martinez Brothers. The video stars super model Karlie Kloss and was directed by Inez and Vinoodh. The reason is simple: Where so much of today’s so-called dance music relies completely on a computerized framework, Chic works the old fashioned-way - with hand-made riffs, with real-time grooves, with lip-smacking soul. Certainly, “I’ll Be There” works as well today as a dance floor-filling anthem as it would have back then. And so, the message is clear: This is music not just of its age, but of any age. That’s juxtaposed with video of an enraptured, scantily-clad new fan enjoying the song while surrounded not just by Chic albums but also key collaborative hits with Diana Ross, Duran Duran, Madonna and David Bowie.Īll of those successes happened well after the age of Saturday Night Fever and Studio 54, of course. My official remix of the new Chic track 'Ill Be There' out on Warner Bros If you like it, please leave a comment Continuing with my throwback house vibes mixed a funky bassline I kept the integrity of the song on this and just reveled in having such amazing stems to work with, One of my all time favorite artists it was such an honor to do this mix. We see classic Don Cornelius-hosted footage of the band, with beloved late members Bernard Edwards and Tony Thompson. The smart accompanying video, like the song, works as both reminder of and all-encompassing argument for the underrated contributions of Chic, both together and as progenitors of party soul. ![]() “I’ll Be There” almost requires you to move, as it enters at your ear but then races down to your hips. And that’s just what Chic has done, presenting a burst of sleek, throwback late-1970s R&B - with no updates, no apologies, and no bullshit.Īs with their best earlier songs (one of which, “Everybody Dance,” is directly referenced in the early doing), Nile Rodgers approaches things with an unapologetic sense of revelry. 1.5K Dislike Share Save Nile Rodgers & CHIC 61.9K subscribers CHIC is BACK Pre-order the new single 'I’ll Be There' w The Martinez Bros.
