Nile Rodgers announces new Chic album due out in 2017

Nile Rodgers announces new Chic album due out in 2017

A new Chic album, called "It’s About Time", was originally scheduled for a summer 2015 release, but it never arrived. Now Nile Roders, with a post to his website, announced that the band’s follow-up to 1992’s "Chic-ism" is due out in 2017, to celebrate the 40-year anniversary of the band’s formation as well as the 40-year anniversary of Studio 54’s opening.

He wrote: ù

In 2017, we will pay homage to the club that put us on the international map by doing a series of concerts, afterparties, VIP Packages, films and singles. Then drop the full album along with a BIG SURPRISE!

Rodgers explained that the labum was delayed because he wanted to line up the release with the anniversaries, but he also wanted to hold off because of all the musician deaths that occurred in 2016:

When Prince suddenly died, it was like I'd been struck by lighting twice. In 2016, I couldn't release an album about the joy of life in A Year of So Many Deaths.
