The project is the group's first new studio project in more than 20 years, since 1992's "Chic-ism." "As with all Chic albums, this one's based on a concept," says Rodgers. "Four years ago I was stricken with very aggressive cancer and I wasn't sure how much time I had left. I decided the album's concept would be about time and I'd feature as many people from the lifespan of Chic that I could on it."
