It’s About Time

It's About Time is the ninth studio album by the American band Chic released on September 28, 2018 through Virgin EMI Records. It was written and conducted by Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers. It’s About Time is the first album to be released in over two decades for the group, and is the first Chic album to not feature founding member Bernard Edwards who died in 1996. Originally scheduled for a 2015 release, heralded by the single "I'll Be There", the album concept kept changing and the release delayed for three years, partly due to the deaths of Prince and David Bowie. Eventually released on Virgin EMI Records in September 2018, the album cover is a homage to the group’s 1977 self titled debut album Chic. The lead single, "Till the World Falls", featuring Mura Masa, Cosha and Vic Mensa, was released on June 22, 2018. According to Rodgers, It's About Time is the first of two albums that make up the "new Chic experience". The second album Executive Realness was originally scheduled for February 2019, and will "bring to a close the journey of Chic". It was later postponed to May 2019, but ultimately never materialized. As of 2026, nothing is confirmed for the tenth and final album.
