Frontman Nile Rodgers unveiled the track today (March 20) on BBC Radio 2 during vernal equinox this morning, which he labeled on Instagram a “CHIClipse”.
I’ll Be There, which Rodgers recently revealed is a re-working of a previously lost demo rediscovered in 2010, is dedicated to Chic founder Bernard Edwards, who passed away in 1996.
Chic’s 9th studio album It’s About Time will follow in June this year. Rumoured collaborations on the record include Miley Cyrus, Sir Elton John and Janelle Monae.
