Tongue in Chic is the sixth studio album by American R&B band Chic, released on Atlantic Records in late 1982. The album includes the singles "Hangin'" (R&B #48) and "I Feel Your Love Comin' On" (issued only in the Netherlands). Tongue in Chic was the second Chic album to peak outside Billboards 100 chart (#173), it did however reach #47 on the R&B chart.
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.
