C'est Chic

Sehr cool! Kannte nur Le Freak, aber der Rest ehrlich sehr angenehm zu hören…

Nile Rodgers has produced some of my favorite music but this album feels a little dated overall.

Perhaps a slightly underwhelming opening track, but as soon as that bassline kicks in on Le Freak, you don't look back. Whilst it's the two singles that you hear wherever you go (and no doubt we will for the next 50 years and beyond, too) this is a great collection of tracks. Chic *are* disco, and Nile Rodgers has contributed to some of the very best pop music out there. I enjoyed the slower, more expansive tracks too - didn't Alfa Anderson have a beautiful voice? C'est Chic is iconic, shiny and fabulous; influential; funky and enjoyable as heck. And they could *really* play - let's all give thanks for Bernard - that incredible bass riffing on Happy Man being just one example of what a funky bass can do for a three-chord motif. He was the man.

Listened to before: No Great production, absolutely danceable - There's just not much reason to listen to this outside of a disco.

It starts to run out of steam towards the end, but the first half is disco at its finest.

probably good for dancing but not so much for listening

Well that had me dancing around the kitchen. 'Savoir Faire' is one hell of an infectious tracks. Brilliant stuff.

What a Great Funk album, a true case study on what it was to be cool back in the day. I will definitely be back! 4/5

Didn't know what to expect and genuinely loved this - such feel-good music that I'll come back to on grey days!

2.5

Le Freaking is the obvious standout with undeniable infectious groove. I know this is tagged as a disco album but that just doesn’t feel right to simply call this disco. The band is so very skilled when it comes to the instrumentation. Savour Faire is a wonderful trip that puts the bands talents on full display, it’s almost got a bit of a yacht rock sound to it. If you didn’t like this on first listen, I don’t think you paid close enough attention, this is a well crafted breezy, groovy, smooth album with chill vibes. 4 stars

It was pleasant enough but u don't think I'll repost. 2.5 stars maybe

Repetitive 2.6

Fun, nice production

One star for Nike Rodgers, one star for Tony Thompson, one star for Le Freak. THREE STARS

freak out!

Kind of upbeat 70s vibe Le freak is the fav Probably a 6/10

Songs all sound similar but why complain when they sound good

Nice enough but a bit repetitive.

A good album, I liked Le Freak, Happy Man and (Funny) Bone the most.

Funky ass jams.

Such a fun danceable album!

The tracks tend to be a bit lengthy, but the sound is cool and unique.

Pretty good, standard nice rodgers

Very groovy. Le Freak is of course a classic and great dance hall jam. The instrumentation on Savoir Faire was nice, good base and some fun noodling. Didn't really like many of the tracks with vocals and songs seemed quite formulaic. All in all, not bad, but not great.

Who knew that a security guard telling the band to "Ah, Fuck Off!" at the door of Studio 54 would inspire one of the most recognisable funk-disco tracks of all time. The rest of the album is well decent too!

Nile Rogers is one of those artists that is so bursting with talent, but I find almost everything sounds the same.

Nile Rodgers is the master of the perfectly innocuous jam. Legit enjoyed listening to "Le Freak" for the first time on purpose instead of on a school bus speaker or in some boutique from which I would purchase nothing. "At Last I am Free" is total torture tape material - a Branch Davidian would surrender his child bride by minute 5. The rest is solid statistical median good music.

As you’d expect from Nile Rodgers, who’d go on to a decorated career as songwriter and producer, C'est Chic sounds exquisite, with incredible bass playing from fellow producer Bernard Edwards in particular and lush strings. Rodgers also flexes his guitar chops on the instrumental “Savoir Faire.” I like AllMusic’s description of this album as containing “at-the-disco dancefloor mania and after-the-disco bedroom balladry.” “I Want Your Love” is a total banger, one of the classic disco cuts, and now I’m probably gonna go down a disco rabbit hole the rest of the day.

Sometimes LPs from the pre-cd era sounds like 2 singles and padding because there's no such thing in the 70s or 80s as a major label band who puts out a single that doesn't appear on a full length. I was surprised that this is Chic's second lp, because the single to padding ratio suggested it was a cash grab for a band that would a few great singles and crap lps. I remember Le Freak at roller rink birthday parties when I was in primary school, and not a cocaine-fueled LA poolside party where everyone is wearing beige, so its hard to look at this 40+ years later and see it as essential.

Would be 5 stars if not for that corny album cover. This is a good headphone listen.

we've all heard freak out! a billion times, but it's wroth remembering this is one of the most perfect songs ever-if you could hear this for the 1st time again you'd get goosebumps and be dancing jumping fist pumping whooping your butt off, it's a masterpiece. That's why they're on here - Niles is SO ARROGANT but he really did change things up - tidbit - 1st rap song ever sampled Chic's Good Times (rapper's delight), which Niles 1st heard on the radio!? but has since been credited on that song. Anyhooo this record bursts out of the gates but peaks with I want your love and the rest just fizzles out into mediocrity.

A couple of catchy groovy disco dance tunes but suffers from being overly repetitive. It’s clear they influenced a whole movement but on its own musical merits not very inspiring.

Listening to Le Freak after Chic Cheer...so much chic. It's been a long time since I've listened to "I Want Your Love". Honestly, this makes me want to rollerskate.

I Want Your Love could just cycle on forever - the very definition of a locked in groove. Three stars for that track alone.

Surprisingly good! Varied and I wasn’t expecting that.

Neither the band nor the album meant anything to me. The genre description increased my interest in the album. This lasted for most of the first track. However, the music started to get on my nerves. So I moved on to Le Freak and I knew it. This is THE disco classic par excellence. Yes, it makes you want to dance. Even for me, who has never been to discos and doesn't like the music. But that's neither funk nor soul. So let's continue with the piece Savoir Faire. I liked it surprisingly well. That's funky. The track Happy Man was also quite funky. With I Want Your Love, the disco parts became too clear again. Then I stopped listening properly. I won't be listening to it again any time soon. 3/5

It’s a trip. It’s got a funky beat. And I can bug I it to it.

This disco/soul thing is not really my genre, but I did enjoy this at a certain level. It was nicely funky (especially the basslines), but the hooks and the repetitiveness of the lyrics and phrases did get a little out of hand a few times. I listened to it twice just to make sure I wasn't missing anything, but I came away from the second listen in about the same place as the first. It was good, but not amazing. I probably won't listen again. Three stars.

Vibey, but yeah

Gostei mais deste disco do que do outro do Chic, o Good Times. Essa é uma banda com uma instrumentalização fantástica, principalmente o baixo. Suas músicas realmente te movimentam na sua essência. Os vocais, e as composições no todo, são bem repetitivas, mas isso é de esperar de um álbum de Disco. O gênero é baseado nisso. Mas ele cumpre magistralmente o seu papel de fazer você se mexer, dançar. O segundo lado não é tão engajante quanto o primeiro. 3.5/5

Great disco dancing music!

👌🏿

Good album.

Rugrats in Paris!

ufff xuliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssim pq mai havia sentit a parlar daquesta penyita. pero cert q a ratos es fa llarg o molt bucle pero wow TEMARDOS. and that's what teh vibra was, funky songs q es van repetint. m'he guardat casi totes !!! jeje- UpDATE, mhe guardat totes LOL albumazo 4 estrellessssS

Just a great "of the moment" record. Disco, funky, NYC, 70s, dirty, coked-out, Halston/Warhol, dance music. Who but Chic knew the depth of talent assembled to create this zeitgeist of an album. Nile Rodgers created a guitar vibe so catchy and funky that he charted Top Hits with versions of it for 40 something years, now. Le Freak is iconic, Savoir Faire is a nice elevator music jam, I Want Your Love is lovely and sexy. Good clean funky fun in the wild 70s. How quaint a time that was, huh?

C’est Chic – Chic (1978) | Disco / Funk | Avg: 8.06 | Favorite Song: “Le Freak” C’est Chic is just hit after hit. What makes this album work so well isn’t just how tight the grooves are—it’s how effortless it all feels. “Le Freak” is the obvious standout, and not just because it’s a cultural landmark. That track moves, but it’s also a masterclass in arrangement. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards lock in every rhythm, every bassline, every drop—it’s dancefloor science. But what impressed me is how consistent the rest of the album is too. Tracks like “I Want Your Love” and “Savoir Faire” keep the vibe lush and layered without losing momentum. There’s a sophistication to C’est Chic that elevates it above your average disco album. Even at its most repetitive, there’s always a new texture or melodic twist to hook you in. The strings, the background vocals, the precision—it’s all intentional and locked in. It’s flashy, sure, but it’s also deeply musical. This is disco at its most refined, and the fact that nearly every track scores in the 7.5 to 10 range says it all: it’s a record built for movement, but it holds up under scrutiny.

Enjoyable. Funky.

Liked it.

fun!!!!

Fun and liked more than I thought I would but don’t need to revisit. Can recognize that this has been sampled a lot.

EVERYTHING!!

C’est Chic is like getting dressed up to go somewhere fabulous, only to realise you’re mostly vibing in your own mirror. It’s classy, smooth, and effortlessly cool but not too cool to remind you it was born in the disco era, complete with glitter and occasional saxophone flirtations. "Le Freak" still struts into the room like it owns the place, and honestly, it kinda does. “I Want Your Love” is the slow-motion dancefloor moment where your drink gets warmer and your heart gets softer. That said, I didn't fall head over heels for every track. There’s a bit of filler sparkle tucked between the hits, like a designer jacket with one too many shoulder pads. Still, CHIC knows their groove, and even when they’re coasting, they’re coasting in diamond-studded roller skates. It’s not my go-to mood, but I get the appeal

perfection. no need for comments

Amazing and timeless record, the songs, the vibes are immaculate, pure joy from start to finish, disco and soul in a package that transcends time. So good.

Savoir Faire och Happy Man drar ned betyget. Le Freak och I Want Your Love drar upp betyget.

Even someone who doesn't like music has heard Le Freak at least once in their life. This song is embedded in pop culture and everyone's imagination. It's truly a legendary song, made by an equally legendary band, who's never released a bad song. Is it possible to give it more than 5 stars?

Le Freak was a big enough tune in its day to capture the attention of a clueless 9 year old, so that's saying something. I also remember seeing this album cover and fantasizing about how rich they must be to live in such a nice house with such fancy clothes. Now, as a still clueless middle-aged man, I appreciate the potent musicianship behind this band and I also have a soft spot in my heart for bands that sing about themselves. But the songwriting is not very good on this album, unfortunately. One great tune, three fair-good ones and then junk. I think maybe these guys were more of a singles band?

Although this feels a lot like a one-hit wonder sort of band and album, even with the relatively popular single "I want your love" proving that "Le freak" wasn't the only flash in the pan, it's still a modestly fun disco listen (with some driving basslines). I liked it that the rest of the album doesn't sound utterly different from their two singles, but the other songs seem much more appropriate for background listening (especially the instrumentals like "Savoir faire"), and the slower ballad-types tend to drag it all down a bit.

I was surprised we got this and not their album Risque (which I now see is in my future). I enjoy their sound but not sure this album is 1001-worthy.

Peak disco.

After the first song which I didn't enjoy I was skeptical, but it turned out really solid

They don't make 'em like CHIC anymore, everyone's too cool these days, too image conscious. Need more freaks in the music biz.

Somehow I had never heard of this band, but had heard many of their songs. Great album

I mostly just listened to the bass through the entire album. I'd give the bass a solid 5/5, then rest of it is a mere 2/5.

probably 3.5

Nice times and lyrics but not my style:))

ok as far as it goes, but this kind of thing is really not for me

Chic Cheer - 3/5 Le Freak - 5/5 Savoir Faire - 4/5 Happy Man - 4/5 I Want Your Love - 5/5 At Last I Am Free - 4/5 Sometimes You Win - 4/5 (Funny) Bone - 3/5 Average score: 4/5

Some great tunes here. 9/10

Tremendous - much better than I was hoping. Would revisit plenty in context

What can I say. I love a dance album.

Nile Rogers absolutely cooked here. His guitar playing can be recognized from miles away, and is as distinctively his as Carlos Santana's or Eddie Van Halen's. This album is just a fun disco record, not really trying to be anything other than what it is, and it is one of the best disco records of all time.

very enjoyable listen and impressive musical talent!! also just fun to listen to

Fun

Was not expecting this album to be this. I enjoyed it.

disco basslines are the best basslines

Nice bit of 70s disco, didn't know I would recognise two songs.

3 1/2 stars but can’t give it three

El disco y el funky en su máxima sofisticación. Un álbum de producción cristalina, con un instrumental preciso como un reloj suizo. Himnos optimistas, sexys y mucho brillo setentero. Escucha muy accesible que te transporta a una noche en el Studio 54. Larga vida a Nile Rodgers, de los artistas más infravalorados de la historia.

SMoooth and bouncy. Okay

It’s good. Kinda repetitive but nice music if you’re dancing or working or cooking.

Expected to like this more than I did, but it got a little samey. The groove is great, though.

This was a pleasant surprise in terms of a listening experience. The expectations per the initial Wiki and the name of the album and band, directed the mind to go into a bog-standard poppy funk. But, it ended up having some highlights like Le Freak, Happy Man and At Last I Am Free which ended up making this a decent listen. I think the start with Cheer was quite weak but picked up from there. I would rate this as a 3.5/5 but bumping it down to a 3.

Good album with bouncy disco vibes. I didn't realize how influential the album really was until I started recognising at lot of samples that were used in later R&B, Hip-hop tracks from Chic Cheer onwards. I wonder if it may not be one of the most sampled albums of all time track for track. 3.5/5

Saw the album and I assumed it would be along the lines of Sister Sledge. It's actually a bit slower. Standouts are Le Freak, Savoir Faire and I Want Your Love. Had high expectation going in but theres are few songs on this album that are too repetitive to justify their length. 3.5/5. Raising to a 4.

hmmmm

Very good album. Super fun to listen to. A 3,8.

Rating this album lower than a 5 is Anti-Black btw

Not coked out enough for this on a Sunday morning.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FREAK OUT

Has any other mainstream funk/pop album been as influential or referenced? Possibly, but it’s hard to think of what it would be. As fun today as it’s always been, though it suffers retroactively from the Nile Rodger’s Ubiquity Syndrome that means this album’s fingerprints are smeared over far too many artists and tracks.

I enjoyed this album. The last few days have been difficult, and this upbeat album helped my mood.

This is a fun one! I'm always down for some disco funk. I'm surprised I only know the one song from this album

Lovely stuff

Kort album van 6 nummer waarvan er minstends 3 verschillende versies van C'est Chic. Maar die zijn dan wel weer erg lekker

Smooth funky jams are aaaaaaaalright.

Le Freak being so legendary and some other great ones on here like InWant Your Love makes the so-so songs stand out more. Still a great listen.

This is such a moment.

Lovely smooth stuff. liked this more than i expect, the bass was absolutely lovely, and the guitar work was even better than i expected songs like Savoir Faire

Great vibes! French pop! Light, dance-y soul funk!

Neat to hear some of the originals.

Le freak! Funkadelic. At Last I Am Free goes on a couple of minutes too long though.

Favorites: Le Freak, Savoir Faire, I Want Your Love “Remember, the whole world is a circus… Don’t be the clown!” Aw, man this is some fantastic disco. Incredible grooves and harmonies with some of the smoothest songs you’ll ever hear. I adore this record!

It's ok as background. Very consistent sound, which makes it a bit boring for me, I'm sure lots have sampled the tracks in there.

Slightly concerned I'm falling into the trap of "I know this, I like this, its a 5", but I'm once again finding Nile Rodgers providing an album with such strong singles they do prop up the whole album. I had fun start to finish, and I like French house so every 30 seconds is another sample recognised.

so so

Holy shit the bass player is holding it down. Not every song hit but it's just great music

Interesting R&B album, some of the songs had a good beat to it. Otherwise not my genre.

Not my favorite disco/funk but a fun listen overall!

Pre-listen notes: I fucking hate the disco genre, so I reckon this will be a big ol’ goose egg for me. But I guess I signed up for this, and disco was bound to show up eventually. I’ll be a sport and give it a shot, but I don’t expect to finish this one. Just getting into the record: I don’t hate the bass lines and the jazzy guitar bits. The drums (riding the hell out that hi-hat) are kinda killing me; I think this is generally what makes disco a challenge for me. The unchanging repetitive nature of the drums just drone on and drive me crazy. Actually, I’m 2 tracks in and finding these songs to be overlong because of the repetition; why say in 2 minutes what can be extended to 10? Maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it doesn’t feel like it. That said, I’m not dreading continuing this just yet. There are some redeeming qualities in the musicianship and production; this record, so far, is clean and tight. I actually like some of the instrumental sections for the jazz licks. “Savoir Faire” is a highlight. But, this record is really not my style, I guess. Tight musicianship, and the bassist is really killer, but the music itself is pretty tough for me to get through, and I’ll not be revisiting it. Disco just sucks. 2.5/5

A great disco record. A lot of fun to listen to, and probably even better to dance to. Niles Rodgers is a very talented guy. " Le Freak" is the big hit, but "Happy Man" and "I Want Your Love" are excellent as well. On a side note, why did we ever let a bunch of White Sox fans decide that this wasn't cool? If you ever need a reason to hate the White Sox, disco demolition night is a great reason.

Not too bad. Quite liked it.

2.3 1x not my thing

freak people out summer

Cutie little disco fun

Makes u dance but also gives some nice smooth instrumental … the vocals are kinda underwhelming but enjoyed it throughout

Every song drags on too long. Repetitive. Two big singles are bangers though.

Un álbum bastante aceptable con un par de grandes hits.

I can see why everyone was getting pregnant in the 80s

Le Freak is an unbelievable dance song. The rest of the album is much less enjoyable. That being said, I never stopped toe tapping and I could imagine dancing (in the right venue) to these songs. Came out the same year as The Scream, and I liked this better.

Who doesnt know the first two songs? Funk to r and b. Entertaining 3.5

Two standout tracks, Le Freak and I Want Your Love and while the rest of the album contains some polished disco cuts and ballads that will get folks moving I can't say they are that memorable. Difficulty genre to make an album out of but this is a pretty good standard and the playing or Rodgers and Edwards is top notch. Worth a listen.

Le freak? C'est chic!

If I never hear “Le Freak” again, I’d be fine with that, but the rest of this album is undeniably influential. These tracks have had a huge impact on modern dance music, especially garage and house. Nile Rodgers is a major figure in the disco movement, and his work here ensures that the album is solid from start to finish.

Quick fun listen. Nothing I want to return to but enjoyed it.

это хорошие песни, но они невероятно затянуты.... тупо заебывает одну мелодию 7 минут слушать

Nice pop.

The music is great. Production values are so high. So many artists have samples from this band that you feel like you’ve heard these songs even if you haven’t before. Overall, a good album, but a bit of pace could be added here and there. Base plods along quite a bit. Not great, but good.

Bernard Edwards is a major bass god, and Nile Rodgers is great at writing the riffs that ride over that rhythm. Chic lived up to their name, with urbane, sophisticated disco funk that continues to inspire musicians and is a foundation of hip hop sampling. None of that really speaks to this *album* though. This is a laboratory of sound and style and rhythm. This is a library of vamps and riffs. The album drags on like a long night at Studio 54. It's fun while it lasts, and you remember bits and pieces, but it's not meant for close concentration.

First disco album, which was pretty good and chill.

Peak disco. Felt a little long at times.

1’5

Classic disco

This album was awesome, just that guitar and bass, how do you not love that. Funky and blissful. Must-listen #160.

I love the groove and tempo of this record. I'm probably more into the vibe than any one song so it's only a 3 but worth listening to again.

Ehhh it's okay but it could be way better. Sonically, i like the tones and general vibe of the album but I feel a lot of these tracks could do with more development or differentiation from each other. Although they're groovy, some of the tracks linger around without really going anywhere Also, the lead guitarist is overplaying to compensate for this lack of development in my opinion. The bends they do with this tone aren't very pleasant either, sounds like he's fighting the guitar, in a bad way. Funky and unoffensive but a bit boring. Would do great in a new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie... Fav tracks - Le Freak Worst track - Chic Cheer - savoir faire

Kæmpe commercial succes og fik disco til at være sofistikeret og fedt. Det har funk jazz og orchestral nuancer. Niel rodgees som producede det producerede senere for Madonna, David Bowie og daft punk. Stor indflydelse på funk hiphop og rnb

grooves that go nowhere :(

Cool

It's not bad music, just didn’t hold my attention much (that might be my short attention span more than the album).

C’est Chic - CHIC Favourite - Savoir faire / Sometimes You Win Least favourite - At Last I Am Free Sometimes You Win is ripe for sports edits, imagine a a Luka or D Rose edit to that song 🔥 Overall 7.0/10 vibes were nice but it drags towards the ends of some tracks. Feels a little like a whole album of Stevie Wonder ’b’ tracks with some more guitar thrown in if that makes sense, but not in a pejorative way.

This album certainly serves its purpose well. It solid disco music as it’s very easy to dance to and its repetitive nature makes it predictable and reliable which is appreciated, but that also means that it has a tendency to drag if you’re just sitting down and listening to it. I’m not sure it’s something I’d listen to regularly, but I can appreciate it for what it is.

I did not finish it but it seemed to me like high quality background party music. I did not manage to grasp a specific idea or novelty if it was being communicated. Savoire Faire was quire good and unique though. I will keep it for the future when I need a vibe 👍🏻

Favorite song: at last I am free and sometimes you win. Chic Cheer feels like an opening number for a musical. I love the guitar rift in Savoir Faire. Nice album which doesn't sound like what the stereotype of disco is but has very cool elements from it. It feels fun and smooth.

it was truly c'est chic

Wow, hätte nicht gedacht, dass ein Disco Album mich so packt. Wäre sowas heute in Clubs würd ich da auch hingehen

My dad raised me on Disco so this was great for me. It is filled with wonderful, funkadelic vibes. What more could you want? I saved "Le Freak" "Savoir Faire" and "I Want Your Love".

6/10 There is an epic quality to the music here. I don't have the knowledge to understand how they can make every song sound like it's life or death. That being said it's a bit dated, not overly so. 6-16-2025

One obvious banger, the rest was fine

My second CHIC album. And honestly, it was exactly the same as the first. There really doesn’t need to be two on this list. Nevertheless, it’s a 3 for being listenable.

Chicy

Pretty good.

Meh

Bastante Groove, funk, bem o início da disco. Nada muito absurdo, mas acho interessante para ter noção do desenvolvimento histórico da coisa

One of the defining sounds of the disco era, with Bernard Edwards’ funky bass lines laying down a solid groove for Nile Rodgers’ guitar licks to embellish producing music that is guaranteed to get you dancing. This is an album that you could put on at the start of the evening and happily play on repeat with no complaints from your party guests.

A disco classic, well executed, with talented musicians. It's disco though (fun for dancing, not so much while sitting in your living room).

Imam vrlo podijeljeno mišljenje o ovom albumu. Da je sve nalik na le freak bila bih prezadovoljna. Čak i da je nalik na neke druge življe pjesme. U njima je bass i groove na nivou. Ali onda ima pola, ili možda više od pola albuma koji je isto ništa.

gorgeous little album

Fuck, this slapped.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1001 ALBUMS - # 58 Everybody CHIC tonight! 🕺 I can get behind these grooves and the album gets the party going right off the bat with two of the most sampled tunes this side of the disco ball 🪩 Released at the height of the disco boom in 1978, C’est Chic is the second studio album by the American band Chic, formed by legendary producers and musicians Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. More than just a follow-up to their successful debut, this album cemented Chic’s reputation as the quintessential disco band, blending sophisticated production, irresistible grooves, and social commentary into a seamless sonic experience. The album became one of the most iconic records of the disco era and remains a gold standard is music production and arrangement. 🎧 Classic Track: Le Freak 🎧 Deep Cut Gem: Savoir Faire 🎧 Personal Favorite: Happy Man C’est Chic is sleek, confident, and dazzling from start to finish. Each track is a masterclass in arrangement—tight rhythms, lush string sections, and unforgettable basslines. At just under 40 minutes, it’s a compact yet endlessly rewarding listen. Few albums have had the reach and influence of C’est Chic. Beyond its immediate success, it has been sampled, studied, and celebrated for decades. “Le Freak” and “I Want Your Love” remain staples of disco compilations, DJ sets, and soundtracks. The album helped define the Chic Organization’s sound—a blueprint for dance music that valued groove, elegance, and emotion in equal measure. 🖼️ Album Artwork: 🥱 Rodgers and Edwards’ work here laid the foundation for modern pop and R&B production, influencing everyone from David Bowie to Beyoncé. In a genre sometimes dismissed for being superficial, C’est Chic proved that disco could be as artful and impactful as any other style.

pure disco classic, what a record

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ALBUM! SO MUCH I HAVE IT ON VINYL! NEW YORK IN ANOTHER COMPLETE DIFFERENT WAY! DISCO! FREAKED OUT CUZ YOU COULDN'T GET INTO STUDIO 54! THE HEDONISM! THE 70S! NILE RODGERS PIONEERING HIS IMPACT ON EVERY SINGLE GENRE! BERNARD EDWARDS GIVING US THE MOST TIMELESS AND ICONIC BASSLINES E V E RRRRRRR. OH MY GOD! BLACK ARTISTRY AT ITS FINEST....... AUTOMATIC FIVES, NO ESSAY NEEDED. I WANT YOUR LOVE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME. MY GOATS WILL NEVER BE WASHED! REST IN PEACE BERNARD!

++: Chic Cheer, Le Freak, Savoir Faire, Happy Man, Sometimes You Win, (Funny) Bone +: I Want Your Love +-: At Last I Am Free 7,9/10

Ahhh, freak out! My first disco album selection and Chic (pron. Sheek) was a great way to start as they produced some of the biggest hits of the era, including Le Freak from this record. The band liked to consider themselves a mash up rock and disco, which is evident with the excellent guitar work in songs like Savor Faire and Happy Man, albeit with a copacetic R&B vibe. I was 8 when this album was released and can distinctly remember the hits "Le Freak" and "I Want Your Love" being played everywhere. These far out hits reminded me that I don't give disco enough credit as the dance centric music that led to many of the tunes I danced my ass off to in the 80's So take a load off, chill out, sit back and enjoy this groovy record. Good vibes. Peace out!

A stone cold classic

Death before Disco? Nah, there is some legitimately good disco music and this album has some good examples. Funk-driven dance music that you're going to at least tap your foot to when you hear it. Le Freak is a great song, disco or otherwise. Savoir Faire, I Want Your Love and Sometimes You Win are also good. I'm not sure how groovy the 70's really were, but this album definitely is.

More fun than I thought it would be.

Fine enough record, doesn’t really do a lot for me but it certainly doesn’t sound bad

Meh

Pretty fire I think it has been sampled by many rap songs. 8/10

Good disco

Liked this better than I thought I would, and it’s more consistent than the other Chic album in that regard. Some of the songs are tedious, and disco ain’t my thing, but this was pretty solid overall. Properly 2.5 stars (would not revisit), but gonna round up for being pleasantly surprised.

Really good bass lines and grooves.

Apparently, this journey has revealed to me that I'm a Disco fan. This had me dancing in the morning while driving. FREAK OUT! Favorite Track: "Le Freak".

Bernard Edwards' bass makes this for me. Of course Nile Rodgers is no slouch either.

7.3

delightful little disco album.

another nile rodgers project, not sure if anyone has more vocal presence than sister sledge but the songs and arrangements are just about equally wonderful!!! just incredibly decadent but not overfilling music yk yk...like honey or something. warm, spacious, very tightly wound, clearly made with tons of effort and consideration but Feels effortless and intuitive...pitch perfect disco p much , w/ some obviously classic tracks! has been cool to encounter this previously unfamiliar-to-me corner of music, good illustration of how even thru various waning moods and feelings ive rly never felt any drive at all to stop doing this whole project

This is pretty good and there is some nice variation, even if it sometimes feels a bit goofy from a 2020s perspective. Favorite track: "Savoir Faire"

Chic again? Screw it. I'm down. I don't actually hate disco as much as others do. Quite the contrary, actually. I happen to enjoy it quite a bit, and C'est Chic is no different. However, I actually happen to prefer this album's followup, Risqué, by a considerable degree. I'm not sure why. I think, on a general level, Risqué is just a more balanced album with more standout elements. C'est Chic is a good blueprint for what a strong disco album can be, and Risqué is the album that utilizes it to its higher potential. Of course, C'est Chic is not without its praiseworthy elements. The songs here are all pretty good, with "Le Freak" being the obvious highlight. The writing here is a bit basic. I think that's what's holding this album back from a higher rating for me. I know music doesn't always have to be super thought-provoking, but this album does kind of feel repetitive in this regard and debatably others. Of course, the musical talent here is still respectable. Obviously, Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers deserve all the praise they can get, but the others provide good stuff. Shoutouts to Luther Vandross just for being here at all. C'est Chic is good, but it's the kind of album that can be improved upon. I know this because it was. High 3/5.

slay

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

lovely

So many samples Sooooo many samples

Solo por Le Freak y I want your love ya merece la pena el disco. 8 temas, 8 gemas con alguna de ellas de infinitos quilates. Savoir affaire es funky sofisticado, como el nombre y el estilo elegante que ellos buscaban y encontraron. Fue tal el éxito que al año siguiente se hicieron campañas contra la música disco (Disco Sucks, especialmente virulentas contra los Bee Gees). Esto es el abecé de la mitad de grupos, bandas y sonidos del rap/hip-hop. Elegante, bailable, perdurable. Guitarra y bajo, con unas buenas voces y base rítmica. Rodgers y Edwards: de aquí a la eternidad. Y todo ello en plena explosión punk. Tremendamente influyentes, desde Queen (Another one bites the dust), Bowie (Let´s dance y sus pocos logros ochenteros más White tie...), Madonna (Like a virgin), Sugarhill (...y las Ketchup), hasta Daft punk o !!! y más allá. Otros discos del 78: The Man Machine de Kraftwerk, debuts de Kate Bush, Pere Ubu, Magazine, , Public Image Ltd., Dire Straits, Police, The Only Ones, Devo, The Cars y Siouxsie and the banshees, (también Chris Rea y Midnight Oil), así como discos esenciales: Plastic letters y Paralell Lines, Some Girls, This year´s model, Darkness on the Edge of Town, Incantations, Équinoxe, Ambient 1: Music for Airports, All mod cons, Some girls, One Nation Under A Groove, Outlandos d´amour los directos de Cheap Trick, Thin Lizzy, Bob Marley, AC-DC y The last waltz, e incluso Grease.

The jason derulo of the 70s, god this band want to make sure you know their name. Obviously it’s hard not to like the groove that Nile Rodgers brings to a tune, but at times it’s like the record is stuck and cant move onto the next part. I didn't think i would say this but Fatman S coop made more of Chic Cheer than Chic did. Le Freak is a stonewall classic and enough to make me overlook that lyric (i know it’s Chic, enough already) Savoir faire was not what i was expecting and not in a good way. Bring back the vocals telling me who it is as i honestly wouldn’t have known this was by Chic. Another dull if funky track and then another classic in I Want Your Love. Why do we get some momentum going and then dash it with a slow dirge track. Sometimes tries its best to get us back on track with a funky Niles bass-line but still feels like filler. (Funny) bone has a great groove to it and the lack of anything that could reasonably described as lyrics works in its favour

A fabulous album, showcasing the tight grooves that would be heard on most of the defining hits of the next decade.

I want disco-y goodness from Chic, so At Last I Am Free did nothing for me with it's slower vibe and repetitive lyrics. Pretty much everything else I really enjoyed though. Not sure it's an album I'll regularly return to, but Le Freak is such a classic track. I also enjoyed spotting all the song parts that other musicians subsequently sampled. This feels like another occasion I want a 1/2 star option, but as I don't, I'm going for 3/5

I was only a wee lad in 1978 when Le Freak was a hit. I was developing my own taste in music but still mostly listened to my little brown transistor radio. I didn't know what freak out meant, or anything about Nile Rodgers or funk music so I was intrigued when this came up as my album yesterday as I could hear it in a whole new context. I honestly haven't been as disappointed in anything I have been assigned more than this album. Aside from Le Freak, there really isn't anything interesting here, and even that is ruined because the first song which precedes it is pretty much them singing C'est Chic over and over again so by the time I got to the second song I was already tired of hearing those words. The rest of the album is honestly just more of the repetitive lyrics and melodies almost to the point of it being either laughable or rage inducing. The R&B stuff is uninspired and it just seems to go on forever. The sweeping funk guitar is executed perfectly but even that got tiresome. I expected so much more from this album.

Absolutely bloody brilliant. So beautiful. At first I was confused as I thought their music was disco but it is more soul/rnb with wondrous vocals and production that includes guitar solos. Most importantly is the way this album made me feel - comforted and invigorated at the same time.

Nah

3.2

Liked it all except for At Last I Am Free which doesn't really go anywhere and is the longest track!! Probably a very strong 3

Good vibes and funky

It's a weird fusion of disco and R&B. I like weird fusion.

Great album, a couple slow spots but the pop hits are wonderful. Def a product of its times

It was grand, could’ve rated it higher but like 3 of the songs were basically just instrumentals, and as I said big lyrics gal. Still overall liked the sound. 61/100

Ratings: 5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background Familiar with some Chic music and I've always enjoyed the bass grooves (active, but not overly busy to my ears). Overall like the music and production. Just find it unlikely that I'll ever spin it up in my own playlists.

A funk classic

This was just the same song over and over again but in the very best of ways.

Solid funk masterpiece - vocals seem unnecessary

Groovay

This was a cute listen. I probably wouldn’t reach for it again but it was pleasant

Some iconic songs here like Chic Cheer, Le Freak and I Want Your Love. I really liked Savoir Faire as well. Sometimes it's a little repetitive though.

Hearing the songs on this album made me realize how influential it has been to American culture. Great beats, easy going, fun to listen to, and as stated before, highly influential. The amount of times i have heard samples of these songs, or the songs in general, referenced in movies, tv shows, in other songs, is immense. You get a picture of a very certain kind of nightclub during a very specific time period while listening to this album. I love that. I love any music that immediately puts an image and time in my mind.

classic incarnation of disco!

Great bass throughout. Some songs were unbelievably boring. Only a song or two I’d ever want to hear again

I've always been a hard line disco sucks punk fan, and this album doesn't change that. It's full of cheese and the songs aren't always there, but the pocket is undeniable. Nile is a beast of course and the bass lines are huge. It hasn't converted me but I do have huge admiration and respect for the musicianship. More funk less gloss, then it'd be something special.

Front end loaded with the best songs. Back half was boring, really repetitive. All about disco.

groovy

3.7

I've never listened to the whole album but the two big singles have become ever-present classics. That meant, that I'd never heard "Savoire Faire", which is astonishing. Yes, the tracks are probably a bit long but, on this occasion, I can overlook that.

Disco is not my thing, but this feels like the epitome of it so I respect it.

Not for me

This might be a classic in some circles, but for me, it’s a tough listen. If you enjoy hearing the same phrases repeated over and over for four minutes straight — long before EDM made that kind of repetition feel cool — then this might be your thing. But for anyone looking for variety or depth, this album wears out its welcome fast. Most tracks feel like extended loops with very little payoff, and the vocals often come off as background noise rather than anything truly engaging. It’s glossy, danceable, and polished, but it all starts to blur together pretty quickly. The one real highlight is “Savoir Faire” — a smooth instrumental that lets Nile Rodgers’ guitar work shine.

Classic disco record. Fun, catchy tunes, great production, killer bass and guitars here and there. At the same time, there are repetitive, easily consumable songs that are often longer than they should be.

Classic disco. Not really my thing, but they are very talented.

Ok. Dated and not that exciting.

Fantastic

Ok very funky

so repetitive. Great bass lines tho....

70s disco funk at it's finest

3,5

I think it's easy to forget just how much terrible music was churned out at the height of the world Disco craze in the 1970s. Next to that tsunami of chintz, Chic's attempt to bring a measure of substance to the genre is admirable. Certainly, the contemporary Neo-Disco trend owes a huge debt to Chic for their distinctive vibe and a fairly high standard of musicality. Unfortunately, outside of the legendary and irrepressible energy of "Le Freak", the album suffers from a bad case of forgettable songwriting. Looking back, this may be one of those albums that is more influential than strictly successful on its own merits. The band's rhythm section absolutely slaps, though. Two stars, plus one for "Le Freak".

So many classics

This is a classic case of Side A is way better than Side B, as was the case for many albums of that time. Fun listen, especially the disco dance cuts, but it definitely fades in the album. If you never heard Sometimes You Win, I'm not so sure you're really missing out. I honestly liked the instrumentals and wish there was more. The female singers were far and away better than the male counterparts, and the songs are worse when they are front and center. If someone threw this on at a party, I think it'd be a good record to show you have taste and like to have fun. No need to go into that big of a deep dive. On a scale of -5 to 5, this is a 2.

It's a pleasant listen, but I'm just not a disco queen. Great bass on I Want Your Love.

En vrai moi j aime beaucoup c est good vibe et c est pas du rap

plutôt bangouz on va pas se mentir

3.5

Well, I personally like the disco songs better than the two non-disco songs... at least I liked the two disco hits "Le Freak" and "I Want Your Love", plus "Sometimes You Win" (the other three disco tracks were definitely subpar disco filler.) But if there is one think I never liked about Chic as a whole is the kind of faceless female harmonies they employ. I remember noting that on the Sister Sledge album, as one thing that kept me from really digging that album. But at least with Sister Sledge, there was strong lead vocal to carry it. This it just kinda falls a bit flat, even on the hits. Musically, I can actually dig the disco grooves, but all in all this is bland when it's not bad... "At Last I'm Free" was quite frankly the most boring song in the set. I almost fell asleep walking my dog. (4.6) ★★

I don't like disco much. I prefer the one song that sounds more adult contemporary, but nothing on here is good in my opinion. 2 stars

I'm at a 3 for this. "Le Freak" is a cool song, but the rest kind of runs the gamut between okay and not very good.

3.5

A tour de force in the art of album unevenness. Runs the gamut from C’est Fantastique to C’est Weak, C’est Tragique and C’est Craptastique. Le Freak and I Want Your Love are two of the pearliest, supreme, pristine and powerhouse disco productions. Simply ace. The Fatman Scoop funk riff on Chic Cheer is also awesome but the actual song it turns into is pretty crappy. Savoire Faire is the most random bit of plain instrumental smooth jazz just to pad out the album a bit more. At Last I Am Free has an amazingly sensual and moody chord progression and vocal performance but with lyrics that basically amount to the title plus “I Can Hardly See In Front Of Me I Can Hardly See In Front Of Me” x1000, it kinda scoots way past its natural span as a song and continues into the distance for an apocalyptically long time. And (Funny) Bone is the crumbliest, lamest most filler way to end an album. So a very mixed bag overall. A few massive diamonds amongst the pig plop.

Really enjoyed this. Funky, pretty, tasteful. Solid 4 stars.

one like one song in the album

It was ok

I knew within 5 seconds of the intro to the first song that I was going to like this. And I don't even like disco that much; or at least, I never learned how to properly appreciate it. Every human on the fucking planet has listened to Le Freak at least 30 times. I dare say it's the most well known & generic disco song of all time; next to Disco Inferno & Stayin' Alive. I dare say this may be more recognisable though. The guitarwork on Savoir Fare was incredible. It reminded me of Zappa's Watermelon in Easter Hay. The guitar tone was near identical. And the beautiful backing track, with the loud, crisp and gorgeous guitar tone over the top. Whoever was playing it was an absolute fucking weapon too. That's genuinely one of the best solos I've ever listened to. I cannot emphasise that enough. Happy Man was a fresh and uplifting tune after the brevity of one of the best guitar instrumentals you'll ever hear. Straight back to monkey business on the disco dancefloor. Chic. I found this song not as iconic as the others, with a lot less substance to take in than it's predecessors, but I still enjoyed it very much indeed. I Want Your Love takes you straight back to the radio friendly disco that I was expecting from this record. This feels very similar to an early 80's pop song, with less emphasis on the disco elements. Very remiscent of Steview Wonder & Steve Vinwood (or whatever the Higher Loves guys name is) It was super catchy and I caught my head bobbing along more than a few times. The longer this song went on the more I fell in love with it. At Least I am Free slowed things down a lot. I didn't gel with this one as much. The singing was obviously great, but otherwise I didn't find this one particularly interesting. I didn't necessarily hate it, but the song just sounded like a stereotypical 80's romcom interlude song. You know the part where the girl comes to terms her love failing? That part. Next. After the slowdown, Sometimes You Win perks you right back up and throws you straight back into boogie mode. This duet is where the two singers really show off their synergy and talent. It's more of the same disco-ey feel that I've come to expect 7 songs in; which means it's catchy, crisp, and crammed with immense talent. The instrumental solo really broke things up and kept the song feeling fresh, though I do wish it came on a little earlier than the before the last chorus of the song. Oh well, still a great listen. (Funny) Bone sends you off the album with some sharp instrumentals. I'll admit, it feels like an interlude to the second side of this thing - but it's not. It's the end. I actually really enjoyed the way this thing ended, especially with the Circus and Clown comment. If you couldn't tell from my wall of text and analysis of each song individual; I fucking adore this thing. I've never heard any song from CHIC apart from Le Freak (who hasn't), but boy am I glad I did. This album is fucking amazing. I was not going into this expecting to give it anything higher than a 3, but alas, a 5 it is. Absolutely fantastic, I'm genuinely blown away, and can't sing this thing's praises enough. This is one of the best albums I've listened to so far out of the 202 or so I've gotten through. 6/5.

A fun inclusion today but something that feels more suited to being a dance track than something for your everyday playlists. That nature also made the album feel pretty repetitive over its kinda long runtime

Frankenstein musical parody film about raising disco from the dead but all he wants to do is make house music from chic samples.

I've listened to this album few times now and each time I thoroughly enjoy the experience. It's undoubtedly a great if not phenomenal album. Unfortunately a day after I listen to it, I forget most of it. I listen to it again and then the same thing happens. Maybe that's a fault of me but it just isn't all that memorable and although the act of listening is a 9 I can't give it more than 8/10

Supremely danceable, very funky and effortlessly cool. Normally I really pay attention to lyrics but I am not going to bother looking into something like “Happy Man” for any kind of depth. The instrumentation here is top notch and it is extremely dated in the best way possible. I want to have a cocktail party with this playing in the background. Flare trousers or be turned away at the door. Highlights: Le Freak, Savoir Faire, At Last I Am Free, (Funny) Bone

I could not have told you who CHIC were before today, but the song "Le Freak" is iconic. I'm glad to know who sings it now! "Savoir Faire" is awesome. It's such a full sounding song. The guitar is obviously front and center, but all layers of the track are hitting. The rest of the album was good, but became too familiar by the end. I enjoy disco but my desk chair isn't the place to be listening to it. Despite that, I enjoyed the album a lot. It has a good run-time and the music is very layered. 7/10

It's fine. Some good rhythms and beats, but nothing especially noteworthy.

⭐⭐⭐

Solid album with a slightly overplayed classic.

This pretty funky and there's some classics on here just a little too much of the same

This was fine, I guess. So very 70's. If you like the song Le Freak, you may like this album since it all kind of sounds like that.

I friggin love disco man.

I don't know, it was fine, I just thought it would be funkier.

Pretty good. enjoyable funky instumentals, but some songs overstay their welcome

Quite surprised about the different flavors included in this album. The hit 'Le Freak' made me think it would be filled of Freaky variations, but it wasn't the case at all. Yes, there was funk, and soul, but also smooth melodies that made overall a pleasant album to listen to.

Very enjoyable, killer rhythm section

Felt a little bit pedestrian by my idea of disco. Le Freak bangs and I didn’t know it was from this album/group.

Is the Le Freak’s album

Fav: Le Freak; Sometimes You Win;

Nie bardzo mój styl, ale słuchało się całkiem przyjemnie

Great album and super fun to listen to. Some of the ideas seem a bit unfinished- savoir faire sounds like the vocals are about to enter but it’s just guitar solos. Nice Rodgers is great though and Bernard’s Edward’s bass lines are so good.

Love nile and bernard, grooves are sick and the love the strings/orchestration on i want your love. Tbh vocals are kinda mid and some of the songs feel a little unfinished but sick vibes

Some parts are so good and then other times it feels like they could have pivoted to something else but just stuck with the same thing. Would have loved if it felt like the vocals were more intentional.

Really enjoyed this

8/10 Nike Rogers in his bag. Favorite song: Le Freak

I remember this album from when I was young. Strangely, I found it sounded dated, even at the time. This, the Bee Gees, and the Village People were synonymous with the whole Studio 54/ Disco movement. It was very mainstream at the time.

Terry cloth shirt: check. Pocket comb: check. Speed skates: check. I definitely made out with a chick with this playing in the background at the roller rink. Or at least that’s what I thought. Probably more so me just hanging at the KISS pinball machine drinking a warm coke in a wax-laden cup.

Thought this was just going to be some random funk/disco album but then HEY I know this song! Pretty fun, and the part of me that once occasionally slapped a bass has to appreciate the rhythm section’s grooves here.

Groovy. Love a lot of the beats and bass work. Man, many of their songs just drag on way too long. Could trim almost 2 min from Le Freak IMO. Maybe I just don’t have the stamina or appreciate that turkeys impressing the ladies with their moves don’t want the beats to stop. I was so excited for (funny) bone because I assumed that was a not-so-subtle innuendo. Gonna have some great lyrics… I was quite disappointed finding out it was an instrumental 😞

This album makes me want to get my nut tubes repaired and make another baby. Def thought Nile Rodgers was going to bust out "Get Lucky" at any moment. 3.75/5

repetitive

It was fun, at the very least.

Funky.

This would be a 4 but they said their own name 104 times before the third track.

super groovy!

Obsessed with the bass. Repetitive because it is dance music, after all. Feels good to listen to. "Le Freak" goes crazy. Let CHIC into the rock and roll hall of fame.

Good album, hard to find a weak song, plus two famous hits. I enjoyed it.

a bit too repetitive for my tastes, but not too bad.

Low 4 Fun and consistent The only flaw is that the song in themselves can be a bit repetitive

SENSACIONAL!

Funky. I liked it 🕺🏻 4 ⭐️

This is a great album and would be ranked higher only if it had more of a concept around it. Straight disco fury with a lot of influence from the funk happening at the time too. Would not expect so many polished songs if I didn't hear them myself. Great bum.

Nile Rogers may not be the most flashy guitar player but his tone and ability to play exactly what the song needs is always impressive to me. This album is produced and engineered so well I’d put it up there with Aja and Darkside for best sounding 70’s mixes. The bass lines and tone on “I Want Your Love” is next level Jedi shit. Classic album that I’m happy to revisit. 4.5

I thought this was just going to be a disco album all the way through, so I sniffed a bag of blow, put my roller skates on, and got ready to boogy. Savoir Faire threw me for a loop. Slow jam grooves. Great tune, and my favorite. Overall, the album was ok, with a couple of hit ones. Not enough to push it over the middle. 3.

Smooth and sexy Disco and R & B.

Damn....I've been a fan of what I've heard from Chic, but I really enjoyed this album and have never sat down to listen to a whole album of theirs. Really funky. Bernard Edwards is not effing around. Some really cool bass lines all throughout. Just an overall solid band.

Not bad

Album starts out hot af. Bass is bumping and the vibe is groovy. I've, of course, heard of the second song on the album. It's well-known for a good reason. It's groovy and the inclusion of orchestral instruments really adds to it. Man, the album keeps it up as the songs go along. Each one has great vibes. 10/10.

Very funky; loved the guitar and bass. Real good sampling material

no disco for me. Le Freak is kinda nice, the worst song is the longest one. it sounds so weird how they sing the chorus in this song.

Pure vibes, peak funk, great choice tunes on here

Niles Rodgers bops. Pretty groovy stuff. About what you expect with I want your love and freak out on it.

so fun, so danceable, so disco

Really good background funk music, but not what I would queue up. The biggest song in this album is iconic tho

The Sgt Pepper of disco/funk!

It's okay, not really my style.

I played this album while cutting the grass for the first time this year and it made it a whole lot more enjoyable. The funk was lively in this album. Le Freak is one of those songs you've heard at a wedding or ballgame or cover on another song, but never knew the original. Pleasant surprise. I was also really into Happy Man and I Want Your Love as well. The album takes a dive once the funk goes away on At Last I Am Free. It just doesn't match the vibe of the rest of the songs and goes on way too long. Like if they put this at the end and cut the runtime in half, it would be less egregious. All in all, this is still a solid 4 that could've been in the 5 territory without that one song.

This album is the tits. I was not excited for a "disco" record, but 4 tracks in this had me floored. Lead-off Chic Cheer is wonderfully loose and jammy. A nice mood setter that has a live-production feel to it. Le Freak is a classic that succeeds on so many levels. Catchy as fuck with strong backing instrumentals to support. Savoir Faire is an unexpectedly delightful turn into some silky instrumental R&B. The guitar work here really shines along with the string support making for a breezy drawn out affair. Really enjoying the bass work throughout Happy Man. I Want Your Love is another single that I've heard before. Great song that I didn't fully appreciate before. At Last I Am Free is a weirdly sober bit of balladry relative -- I do actually really enjoy the dreamy production here. (Funny) Bone is a solid instrumental outro. Doesn't really go anywhere, but it is a nice little romp. Honestly I was blown away by this album. Came in with very low expectations and found myself enjoying every second. Not quite enough to push me to a 5, but it is right on the edge.

Perfectly funky and groovy. Didn't really like At Last I Am Free, but the rest of the album had me boogieing.

Gaht dang I love me some good ol' funk. Le Freak is a song that I could have never told you the name of it or who it was by but have heard it so many times as a sample. The whole song absolutely slaps. The bass was slapping the whole time throughout this whole album. This was soaring to a 5 but At Last I am Free, while being a good song, kind of killed the funk train I was roaring down the tracks on. This album cooled down significantly for the last 4 songs. But still a very high 4
