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
