Lose your shit and boogie all night/Like nobody’s watching/We don’t care who’s watching/Feel good and boogie all night, yeah
from Boogie All Night lyrics by Chic
Chic makes a triumphant return to the stage, reinvigorating a groove that is as fresh today as it was when they were getting their “Le Freak” on over forty years prior. Very little has changed, which is a good thing as they’re iconic sound is a standard that defined a generation. Smashing the dance floor is their top priority, and the message is simple: boogie like no one is watching. The statement is a little cliche, but it’s the rhythm bubbling underneath that makes it vibrate with intensity. Nile Rodgers is the executive chef and with his clean riffing he juliennes the beat into thin slices. NAO‘s Minnie-like vocals glide over it with ease and her request to get any and everyone on the dance floor is in a word: irresistible.
