Chic - Real People (1980)

Chic steps into the 1980s, sounding a little different from their previous work, slowly moving away from their early disco-based sound and into a more modern R&B dance approach. This record is pretty good overall. Surprisingly lots of guitar from Nile Rodgers, too. I didn't care too much for the slower numbers and there didn't seem to be a lot of real standouts here, but this album as a whole flows quite nicely and feels like a real album conceived as such. Side note: While lyrics were never a strong suit for this band, a few moments on here when Chic gets serious are pretty cringeworthy. "I've got protection/From your infection", yuuuck.
