In this episode we sit down with special guest Blango Ross to talk about the glittering grooves and cultural impact of Risqué — the 1979 masterpiece by Chic that changed the sound of dance music forever. From the infectious bassline of "Good Times" to the sultry elegance of "My Forbidden Lover," Risqué wasn't just disco — it was a declaration. We'll explore how Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards crafted a sound that defined an era, influenced hip-hop and laid the groundwork for modern pop and R&B. Along the way, we discuss the album’s themes of escapism, desire, and sophistication — all set against the backdrop of pre-80s nightlife and the rise of studio perfectionism.Whether you're a crate digger, a disco diehard, or just discovering Chic’s genius, this episode celebrates the legacy of an album that proved disco could be deep, daring, and undeniably chic.
