Last month Nile Rodgers unveiled the first Chic song for 23 years. ‘I’ll Be There’ was revealed on Facebook with a video starring US super-model Karlie Kloss.

Describing the track, Rodgers posted that ‘I’ll Be There’ was “a moving concept for me about decisions we make in life”. Speaking of the video he continued: “Karlie Kloss connects the past and present. She sees the original group (who plays this track) on Soul Train. She, visualises the past looking at old school vinyl – then gets dressed and goes out to a current party to meet up with Stephen Galloway and the current ‪#‎CHIC‬ line-up happens to be playing live.”

Chic were founded in the mid-seventies by guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards, who passed away in 1996. The band have found new relevance in recent years on the live circuit, while Rodgers co-wrote and performed on three songs off Daft Punk’s 2013 album ‘Random Access Memories’, including the massive worldwide hit ‘Get Lucky’.
