Free Music Review: Mediocre deliver
Hit: 2 Stars
Just look at Diana Ross' or Aretha Franklin's discography: when a great Soul/R&B singer names for the zillionth time an album after herself, chances are that a bomb is gonna come.
It's sad but true: even a hugely talented and gifted vocalist can fail if the material she's offered to record is - to say something nice - mostly ordinary. Chaka Khan rarely writes her own songs, and she's not always lucky enough to receive fine material to work upon. A team of top producers - including Prince and R. Titelman - and a lot of machines and silly synthesizers give birth to a strange, DATED video-game alike sound that otherwise makes the songs in this album sound like the soundtracks of low quality cartoons. One of the best tracks here is opener `'Signed, sealed, delivered - I'm yours'', a cover of Stevie Wonder's classic (with him playing his fine harmonica here too) which, despite of the silly programming and Tiny Toons arrangement, received a very powerful, expressive vocal arrangement from Chaka, full of her typical colours, melismas and superposed vocals. But remember: it's still a 70's STEVIE WONDER song, and it could not be that bad anyway, although it's not one of her best performances. Two covers of standards (''The End Of A Love Affair''*, with Chaka's superb, flexible vocals and `'I'll be around'') find themselves out of place in the record, and the rest of the tracks is made of so ordinary fillers that even Chaka's phenomenal voice wasn't able to rescue them. To be avoided, unless you are a Chaka completist. [*also included on Chaka's hits compilation `'Epiphany''].
