Album Notes & Community Reviews
Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards undeniably perfected the immaculate, incredibly sophisticated sound of 1970s disco with Chic's third album. Featuring the immortal, heavily sampled groove of 'Good Times', 'Risqu茅' is a profoundly rhythmic, beautifully lush, and highly uplifting masterpiece that stands as the ultimate synthesis of funk and pop elegance.
