Shapeshifters topped the charts with their Top 40 debut "Lola's Theme" in 2004. They ended their Top 40 career with this record which was their fourth hit. All four singles appeared on their album "Sound Advice".
Chic made their Top 40 debut back in 1977 and were one of the big names of the disco scene at the time. The bulk of their hits came in the 70s but they had further hits in 1987 with "Jack Le Freak" which was a house remix of "Le Freak" and then this in 2006.
In reality it wasn't so much featuring Chic, it was featuring Nile Rodgers on guitar. Seeing how Nile Rodgers has successfully featured on other more modern records perhaps this record came out too soon.
Shapeshifters were the more commercial side of dance music and had connections to the Swedish songwriters who wrote many hits of the modern era. They once included Swedish member Max Reich but nowadays are just Simon Marlin on his own.
