Chaka Khan - Funk This
Khan’s first new album in a decade is a freakin’ riot, a funk-filled return to form for the old-school soul diva. Produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, it features Khan covering Prince’s “Sign O’ the Times,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Castle Made of Sand” and Joni Mitchell’s “Ladies Man.” There’s also “Disrespectful,” a tear-the-roof-off-the-sucker duet with Mary J. Blige. Best of all, the album features a medley of “Pack’d My Bags” and “You Got the Love” by Khan’s pioneering ’70s funk band, Rufus. Be prepared to be Rufusized.
