Concept 1981
Released in October 1981, this would be their only album for SOLAR Records label. It also reunited them with older brother and former member Leon Sylvers III as he was working for SOLAR at the time.

Forever Yours 1978
Forever Yours is an album by the Los Angeles, California-based R&B group the Sylvers.[3] Originally recorded when the Sylvers were still signed to Capitol Records, big brother Leon took over on production. Capitol did not like the new sound and rejected the album and dropped them. The Sylvers shopped the material elsewhere and by mid-1978 had signed with Casablanca Records. This would be their most critically acclaimed album, it would also be the last album Leon would be involved with for the family until 1981's album Concept as he would leave to become in-house producer for Dick Griffey's SOLAR Records. Two singles were released. "Don't Stop, Get Off" charted in late 1978 at number 15 on the US R&B charts. "Forever Yours" was the second single released in 1979 and didn't chart at all due to management shake-ups at Casablanca, even though it was sent to both pop and R&B radio stations.

New Horizons is the sixth album by the Los Angeles, California-based R&B group the Sylvers.
Released in November 1977, this would be their third and final studio album for Capitol Records.

Chaka Khan - Chakzilla 2026
After several years of musical silence, Chaka Khan is ready to step back into the spotlight. The American artist will release a new album titled “Chakzilla” this fall, her first since “Hello Happiness” in 2019.
To accompany this announcement, the singer has released a first single of the same name, co-written with Sia and produced by the renowned Greg Kurstin, known for his work with Adele, Beck, and the Foo Fighters.
With this new track, Chaka Khan temporarily steps away from the classic funk that made her famous to explore a more dance-pop aesthetic,
energetic and modern. It’s a musical evolution she fully embraces,
while retaining the vocal power that has left its mark on
entire generations.
In several interviews, the artist explains that she found
inspiration for the track in her love of Japanese monster movies,
particularly Godzilla. The name “Chakzilla” then naturally emerged as the symbol of an extraordinary personality—imposing yet benevolent.
The track is accompanied by a particularly cinematic music video. In it, we see a giant Chaka Khan moving through a miniature city. But far from being a destructive monster, the singer appears as a protective figure who repairs the damage
