Customer Reviews

The Diva is Back!
In my honest opinion this is Chaka's finest work in quite a few years. Soulful, funky, raw....No "over production" on this set, which allows Chaka to lead the way with her unique vocal talents.

Funk This, "House" was MUCH funkier....
I adore Chaka Khan. She is one independant woman with guts. Just look at her track record.
She left Warner Bros and started her own record label in 1998, and recorded (with the help of Prince) "Come to My House", which was hailed by the critics and justly so. It was criminally buried because there was no promotional backing (being her own small record label).
Forward 9 or so years, CK signs to Sony. Funk This is a brilliant CD dont get me wrong, but I'm strangely suspicious that it has won two grammy's when "House" was a far superior record.
All hail Chaka anyway, because for me, she has finally gotten the grammy's she should've had 10 years ago........

A fine return by one soul music's greatest singers.

Known for the ladies anthem "I'm Every Woman", the memorable cover of the Prince song "I Feel For You" and being the lead vocalist for 70s funk band Rufus, Yvette Marie Stevens (aka Chaka Khan) releases her new album titled Funk This.

The unique attribute of Ms Khan is her voice, within the world of music it's distinctive & this new CD reiterates this forcefully, an album that at times takes you back to those exciting days when she was with Rufus yet at the same time its production is a very modern sound.

Chaka continues her association with Prince by doing a haunting version of "Sign O The Times" in a way only she can, teams up with modern R&B singer Mary J.Blige on the percussive sounding "Disrespectful". But what carries this set are the remaining tracks such as "Back In The Day", "One For All For Time", "Pack My Bags/You Got The Love", "Hail To The Wrong", "Super Life", the excellent ballad "Angel" and "You Belong To Me" featuring the unique vocal of Michael McDonald.

It's almost ten years since Chaka Khan released any new material, if this album is anything to go by here's hoping we don't have to wait another ten years, a quality album from an outstanding singer.
