Free Music Notes for Funk ThisFree Music Review: CHAKA hit's it out of THE BALL PARK !!!!! Hit: 5 Stars
From start to finish this CD is sheer perfection. Back to REAL music on so many levels. One For All Time is so CHAKA/RUFUS 1977. Angel is a heartfelt ballad that invokes so many emotions. My favorite though is SIGN O' TIMES which she turns into a new anthem(sampling I'm Every Woman and adding new lyrics). On Will You Love Me we get the famous WALL OF CHAKA backing vocals. Back In The Day & Hail To The Wrong - funk at it's best. Castles Made Of Sand is way to short - just when she start to go off it ends DAMM! Ladies Man - she works it. Even Foolish Fool works(although i was skeptical). Disrespectful is like my black coffee in the morning - WHEW !What's great about this CD is U can put it on and just let it flow. No skipping through tracks on this one. She really done it this time! Can't stop listening to this CD - I MAY NEED AN INTERVENTION !
Free Music Review: Undeniably funky!!!!!!! Chaka at her best!!!!!!! Hit: 5 Stars
I heard Chaka Khan's new album, Funk This. I was floored! Chaka Khan is at her best, wailing and soaring soulfully on every song here! I love Back in the Day and its funky groove and bass guitars. Hail to the Wrong is another highlight. And how she closes the Prince remake of Sign O'The Times with a reprise of the whoa, whoa,whoas of I'm Every Woman is remarkably done. When I heard that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced this album, I was excited. They can do these incredible records for Janet Jackson, yet come up with some dynamite numbers and a full, live funk sound for Chaka! It's like you're at a live concert hearing Chaka sing all these songs in front of you, not just hearing her own CD! The remakes are nice, yet she keeps them 2007 instead of being too retro. This is another great album that came out this year!
Free Music Review: Old School Returns with a Vengeance! Hit: 5 Stars
WOW.....! This is so good it's hard to explain, but if Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis took a risk producing this CD, it should pay off ten-fold. The most unique and wonderful thing about Chaka's voice is that it can take on so many different qualities. She shows the world again, why she is so D#@* tough! Melodic is probably the best word to describe the entire CD. The musicians are really good, the arrangements are excellent, and Chaka sings with such ease it's remarkable. "Angel", "Back in the Day", and the Rufus remakes are all exceptionally done; the BEST jam is definitely "One for all Time" which has an incredible arrangement. This is the type of music most of the "old schoolers" really long for...this is REAL music and not one of these young artists will ever be able to create this type of music.
Free Music Review: chaka has returne d to her roots and she is on fire. Hit: 5 Stars
Chaka Khan still remains one of the worlds greatest singers of all time. When Chaka sings the whole room lights up. This new recordings places Chaka in the style and feelings that made her a great singer. Each cut on the new recording is a gem. I really love this CD. Chaka never sounded so good. The production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis has all the qualities of a Classic Funk and Soul Album. And Chaka never sounded this good. She will win Grammies on this work of art. " Angel" is so beautiful and autobiographical." Foolsh Fool' is so Chaka not to take away from the original Dee Dee Warwick.. But it like brand new song all over again. There are so many great cuts that it would take hours to discuss. I really am glad i have this CD. Chaka reigns as always.
Free Music Review: WHOA! Hit: 5 Stars
CHAKA BRING THE HEAT, BACK! My wife knows what kind of music I love and this is one of them, Funk This is AMAZINGLY FUNKY! I am soooooo glad that artist from the 70's are bringing the MUSIC back. I DO love some Hip Hop and Metal music (you'll see my reviews) but FUNK is it for me. James Brown, Parliment Funkadelic, The Chambers Brothers, Slapbak, (Early) Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tower of Power, Fishbone, Weapon of Choice, etc. When Chaka sings, she does not have to struggle with hitting high notes because she's a master of it. Now all we need is for MORE 70's artist to come strong: like Tavares, Sly and the Family Stone, Rare Earth. Chaka's Back!
