Miami-based French house artist Cedric Gervais has teamed up with the iconic Nile Rodgers to deliver a revitalized version of the Sister Sledge classic disco anthem “We Are Family.” This energetic remix blends Cedric’s signature, crowd-pleasing house beats with Nile’s timeless funk-infused grooves. The outcome is a vibrant dance track that honors the original while introducing a modern touch that resonates with today’s audience.
This track, released through Armada Music, serves as a tribute to the beloved original while also establishing itself as a contemporary dance anthem for global listeners. Following Cedric’s chart-topping collaboration, “Switch,” with David Guetta, “We Are Family” beautifully intertwines elements of soulful funk and house, showcasing the artistic synergy of both musicians.
This is the second collaboration between Cedric Gervais and Nile Rodgers, following their successful 2020 hit “Everybody Dance,” featuring Franklin.
Cedric shared his excitement about reimagining such a classic:
“Four years ago, myself, Franklin, and Nile Rodgers reinterpreted ‘Everybody Dance.’ We had a fantastic time with that record. When we had the chance to recreate ‘We Are Family’ with Nile again, we jumped at the opportunity. We collaborated at Night Bird studio in Los Angeles to craft this version. Nile’s passion for music is contagious, and the stories he shared during our session were truly inspiring. This song delivers such a positive and unifying message, and I am thrilled to share it with the world.”
The original songwriter Nile Rodgers added:
“With every year that passes, the message of ‘We Are Family’ grows stronger. Regardless of race, sexuality, or belief, we are all family. Collaborating on this track at Cedric Gervais’s request during a time when the world craves hope is a wonderful opportunity, and it aims to spread joy.”
