We went in and played what I dreamt.\n\n\"The only thing that appears on the record that I didn't dream was when the horns come in, I put the strings up an octave. That was the idea of the concert master. He said, 'Nile, since we're going this long amount of time, why don't the strings up an octave for the second part?' We tried it in the studio and it sounded great.\"\n\nOriginally intended for Nile Rodgers and Bernie Edwards' then-protégés, Sister Sledge, this was eventually recorded as a follow-up to Chic's classic hit single, \"Le Freak.\" https://tinyurl.com/437b5vkw", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
