Sister Sledge – Love Somebody Today
Sister Sledge – Love Somebody Today is the stylish 1980 studio album from the Philadelphia-born vocal group, continuing their successful partnership with the legendary production team Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of Chic. Following the worldwide success of We Are Family, the album combines polished disco, funk, soul and R&B with Sister Sledge's trademark harmonies.
The album opens with "Got To Love Somebody Today", setting the tone with a driving disco groove, sophisticated arrangements and the group's powerful vocal blend. "You Fooled Around" follows with a smoother, more soulful feel, while "I'm A Good Girl" and "Easy Street" continue the album's combination of dancefloor rhythms and polished songwriting.
Side two features "Reach Your Peak", another standout disco-funk cut with an infectious groove, followed by the romantic "Pretty Baby" and the soulful "How To Love". The album closes with "Let's Go On Vacation", providing an upbeat finale to a record firmly rooted in the classic Philadelphia-meets-New York disco sound.
Recorded during the group's hugely successful period following We Are Family, Love Somebody Today benefits from the production and musicianship of the Chic organisation. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards brought their distinctive rhythmic precision and understated funk to the sessions, while Sister Sledge's layered harmonies provided the melodic heart of the record.
Although released as disco's mainstream dominance was beginning to change, the album remains a strong example of the sophisticated post-disco, funk and soul sound emerging around 1980. It is an excellent choice for fans of Sister Sledge, Chic, Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards and classic dancefloor soul.
For collectors of Sister Sledge, disco, funk, soul, R&B, Chic and classic dance music, Love Somebody Today is a stylish and highly playable addition to any vinyl collection.
