"WE ARE SENDING YOU THIS TRANSMISSION TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR AMAZING SONGS."
Back in February, Nile Rodgers said Daft Punk had made a "touching film" in honor of Chic's new album. Now, you can watch the video, a cute clip in which the Daft Punk robots send Rodgers a message from space. Check it out below, via Consequence of Sound. It's a part of Nile Rodgers: From Disco to Daft Punk, a documentary about Rodgers' lengthy career, which you can watch over at Arte. The documentary is primarily in French, but several interviews are shot in English.
The first new Chic album since 1992's Chic-Ism is called It's About Time. (Rodgers explains in a press release, "The album's title is: It's About Time... because it's about time.") It includes the recently shared single "I'll Be There", which is a collaboration with the Martinez Brothers.
