Norma Jean Wright Keeps the Spirit of Disco Alive on “Ode to Disco”

Norma Jean Wright, the powerhouse who once fronted disco legends CHIC, is back with something special. “Ode to Disco” isn’t just another throwback—it’s a full-throttle celebration of the music and culture that literally changed everything.

The timing? Absolutely perfect. Released around the anniversary of Disco Demolition Night, this single flips the script entirely, highlighting the artists, DJs, and communities who made disco an unstoppable force.

Bert Price stepped in as producer, and honestly, what a choice. The track masterfully weaves classic disco rhythms with that crisp, modern polish we crave today.

From the very first beat, you’re hooked. The groove just grabs you and doesn’t let go—staying completely faithful to the style that started it all while feeling fresh and alive.

Wright’s performance? She’s absolutely crushing it. There’s this incredible warmth and energy radiating through every note, plus a confidence that gives the entire song serious personality. It matches that infectious, upbeat vibe perfectly.

But here’s the thing—”Ode to Disco” goes deeper than just good music. It’s really about celebrating how music brings us all together, honoring disco’s rich history without getting stuck in the past.
