Tongue in Chic is the sixth studio album by American R&B band Chic, released on Atlantic Records in 1982.[3] The album includes the singles "Hangin'" (R&B #48) and "I Feel Your Love Comin' On" (issued only in the Netherlands). Tongue in Chic peaked at No. 173 on the Billboard 200.[6]

The album was the second of two projects to be written and produced by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers in 1982, the other being the soundtrack to movie Soup for One.

Tongue in Chic was transferred to compact disc and re-released by Atlantic Records/Warner Music in 1991. The album was digitally remastered and re-issued by Wounded Bird Records in 2003.

Critical reception[]

The Spin Alternative Record Guide wrote that the album "offers some extended nasty grooves that would soon be watered down for Bowie's Let's Dance, but the songwriting falters halfway."[5]
