Chaka Khan is a living legend, and very overlooked as a musical icon by the masses. Her music, trends and styles have always been way ahead of her time, so much so that it takes a retrospective view at her albums to appreciate them more. Her music seems never to age, like a vintage wine it gets better as time passes.
This compliation houses the usual big hits put out on previous compilations from WB, Ain't Nobody, I Feel For You and I'm Every Woman, and also this time some more overlooked in the past, from her 1986 "Destiny" project (Love of a Lifetime), a couple of favourites from the "I Feel For You" album (This Is My Night, Eye to Eye), and most notably selections from her much under-publicised (at the time) 1992 "The Woman I Am" project (Love You All My Lifetime, Don't Look At Me That Way).
All in all, a great compilation and a better one than the twice released "Epiphany/Best of Chaka Khan" (they had identical track listings!) and a nice way of introducing Chaka's back-catalogue to people who don't know her for any other tracks than her 3 biggest hits.
Chaka is currently working on a brand new project, with a new record label, with producers such as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, to be released later on this year.
