0

Disclosure, Craig David, HAIM and Bruno Mars are among the names confirmed to appear on Chic’s forthcoming album ‘It’s About Time’.

Originally scheduled for a 2015 release, though pushed back several times, the project will mark the disco pioneering group’s first full-length record in over 25 years, and according to frontman Nile Rodgers, will definitely appear at some point this year.

In a new interview with Pitchfork, Rodgers confirmed additional appearances from Jorja Smith, NAO, Ray BLK, Mura Masa and Anderson .Paak (among others). Describing the Bruno Mars-collaboration, Rodgers said “Anderson .Paak and I—we had a few days, and he was opening for [Bruno Mars] while he was in the UK….And Bruno was like, ‘Damn, I gotta stop by and hang with y’all.’ So we sat around telling great Prince stories and finally we got down, and Bruno came up with an idea and said, ‘Damn, I wonder why nobody’s done this.’ So we decided to get down and do it.”

The 1975 expected to release new music this week

0

This week looks to be an exciting one for fans of The 1975, following speculation the band are set to finally return to the music scene.

Yesterday, fan @its_anobrain tweeted the band’s manager Jamie Oborne with a picture of a lightning bolt from the UK post-heatwave storm, remarking the likeliness of the cover-art from the band’s last studio album ‘I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It’.

On captioning “Evening, the iliwys era is still here”, Oborne then responded with “Yes for a few more days…”, teasing that the chapter from their second record will finally close, opening the way for more music.

The 1975’s third album, rumoured to be titled ‘Music For Cars’, is still apparently scheduled for a June 2018 release, with Oborne previously stating that new music was coming “really soon”. The band have not used their Twitter account publicly since last summer.

More as we hear it.
