Free Music Review: Purr...fection in progress!!!! Chaka's Classic!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
How do I begin to express how I feel about the Chaka Khan's 'ClassiKhan' CD, an eclectic mix of great pop and jazz standards, along with a few movie soundtrack theme songs and a new Chaka original.
Chaka Khan has managed to keep me transfixed with her unusually freakish voice, which captures the essence of the pleasures of sensuality, for over 30 years. Beginning in 1973 with 'Whoever Is Thrilling You is Killing Me'. From there she went on to create some of the most thrilling moments on record from 'Tell Me Something Good' to 'Once You Get Started' to 'Sweet Thing' to 'Everlasting Love' to 'I'm Every Woman' to 'Ain't Nobody' to 'I Feel For You' for fans of her funky brand of pop music.
Fortunately, Chaka's also had a penchant for jazz and standards and has been thoughtful enough to share her penchant on classic jems like 'And the Melody Still Lingers On (A Night in Tunisia' to 'I Love You Porgy' to 'Don't Go To Strangers' to 'The End of a Love Affair' to 'My Funny Valentine'. Little did we know that Chaka would indulge is in a magnificent display of her vocalese on an entire CD dedicated to great classic tunes, with the London Symphony Orchestra. That's a big deal and no other modern singer could match the output of this great project.
'ClassiKhan' is the best thing Chaka has recorded since her career started in 1973. With ClassiKhan, Chaka is showing us how a great set of vocal chords can evolve into a distinctively intelligent and knowing instrument, capable of eliciting moments of sheer sexiness, carnal inquisitiveness, delightful sweetness, and playful elation, along with liberal helpings of ferocious and brassy exclamations.
The best readings on ClassiKhan are 'Hey Big Spender', 'Hazel's Hips', 'The Best Is Yet To Come', 'Round Midnight', 'To Sir With Love', 'Diamonds Are Forever', 'Goldfinger' and 'I Believe'. That's almost the entire album.
My sentimental favorites are 'Crazy' and 'Is That All There Is?'. Peggy Lee and Patsy Cline would probably be a bit jealous if they were around to hear Chaka in her glory.
I agree with so many of the previous reviewers about the quality and sound of 'Classikhan' that I don't want to duplicate their opinions. I just wanted to add my two cents to encourage anyone interested in Chaka or great music to purchase this CD for yourself. The pleasure centers in your brain will get the point once they've been exposed to the voice of Chaka on 'ClassiKhan'. ENJOY!!!
