 ChicChic-Ism Release Date 1992 03 03 Label Warner Bros. Rating:  &"Doin' That Thing to Me" contains a reference to the mythological wizard Merlin in its lyrics. By some strange twist of nature, mythology was certainly at work when those reviewing Chic-Ism on its release in 1992 dismissed it purely because Chic were old hats. In actuality, the worst thing about it is the cover. Chic-Ism certainly isn't likely to make album of the century listings, but as Chic albums go, it's fine if a tad '80s, which is to be expected as it was recorded only two years into the '90s. What were critics expecting of Chic -- synthesizers à la Kraftwerk? Kicking in with the infectious &"Chic Mystique," a little too long at six and a half minutes, it's pretty much business as usual. This leads into &"Your Love" and &"Jusagroove," both keeping pace before slowing down for &"One and Only One." &"In It to Win It" is a perfect update of their New York disco-funk style, a recipe that bands like the Brand New Heavies emulated in later years. The last stretch of the album includes &"High," a beauty that is close enough a slowed down &"Good Times." &"MMFTCF (Make My Funk the Chic Funk)" and a better edited reprise of &"Mystique" conclude.
