Although I agree with some of your points Olukayode, I do disagree that her best days are behind her. I have the COMPLETE discography of Chaka - even "Life is a Dance" - the German Remix. This is a solid performance.
- Back In the Day takes you to the groove of her first production that she did on her own label a several years back.
- I don't care for some of the vocal direction of Foolish Fool - it's a little akward in places for me - but it's puts you in the mind of a confident resolved woman talking to her girlfriend about the girl around the block that's just plain "trippin."
- "Will You Love Me" speaks directly to a woman's insecurities with a new love affair - and it's GREAT on the eliptical at the gym. It makes level 12 a little easier to manage! =0)
- "Disrespectful" does remind you of the producer from DC that produced Amerie's hit from a couple of summer's ago.
- #3 is my new favorite - it puts you in a place of a lost love that you hate that things just didn't work out. It flows well - easy listening, and she comes through with strength but doesn't over power you.
I could break down the entire album - but it would take too long. As an ULTIMATE Chaka fan (I started with the Rufus 8-tracks - yes I said 8 tracks) I can't complain. It's not her best collection, but I keep in mind that she also has to sell units. She has to have a certain appeal to the current radio market to stay alive. Just like she survived the age of Disco with "I Feel For You" and "Earth to Mickey" she will survive in this era of "Buy You a Drank" and "Umbrella" with great songs like "Will You Love Me" and "Angel." She is a legend, and continues to be legendary at it.
Free Music Review: Good album but not her best
Hit: 3 Stars
Chaka is powerful, there is no question! However, this album fails to connect the dots. The songs bounce all over the place and lack continuity. However, it is a must have for your Chaka collection.Free Music Review: Chaka's Back!
Hit: 4 Stars
It's great to hear Chaka sounding so good after so long. Bluesy and soulful as if she was never gone for so long, you will love this cd. Great for Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee and the paper or a Saturday drive. Load it into you iPod and take it with you everywhere.
I love it!
Free Music Review: chaka have found the funk
Hit: 4 Stars
not a bad effort chaka rediscovers her roots I prefer her cd's wity rufuas anyway don't like the prince cover of sign o the times and I don't like the cover of hendrix castles made of sand either but still an enjoyable cd.Free Music Review: Classic Chaka
Hit: 3 Stars
Chaka is a dream come true. She is deep in my heart and deep in my soul. The fast songs on this CD left me wanting, but the slow ones Especially Angel brought me to tears.
Next time I'd like to hear More ballads, because with the power of her voice and the precision of her range, she can do no wrong. It's close to Past time for the fast songs in my opinion, but I still love you.
