Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to navigate the severe commercial backlash against disco, Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards incorporated elements of emerging dance-pop and jazz into 'Take It Off'. While the pristine, lock-step grooves remain intact, the slightly darker tone reflects the shifting musical landscape of the early 1980s.
