C'est Chic (White Vinyl) (2026 Reissue)

Released in 1978, just as disco began to peak, C'est Chic and its pair of dancefloor anthems, Le Freak and I Want Your Love, put Chic at the top of that dizzying peak. The right album at the right time, C'est Chic is essentially a rehash of Chic, the group's so-so self-titled debut from a year earlier. That first album also boasted a pair of floorfilling anthems, Dance Dance Dance and Everybody Dance, and, like C'est Chic, it filled itself out with a mix of disco and ballads. So, essentially, C'est Chic does everything its predecessor did, except it does so masterfully: each side similarly gets its timeless floor-filler (Le Freak, I Want Your Love), quiet storm come-down (Savoir Faire, At Last I Am Free), feel-good album track (Happy Man, Sometimes You Win), and moody album capper (Chic Cheer, [Funny] Bone).
