Why we’re listening
Chaka Khan’s “Chakzilla” is a big, exuberant dance-pop statement built around the kind of personality only Chaka could comfortably carry. Produced by Greg Kurstin and co-written by Khan, Sia and Kurstin, the track pairs pounding rhythm, glossy synths and flashes of guitar with a vocal that still sounds commanding, playful and unmistakably hers. Sia also contributes backing vocals, but the record belongs to Chaka, who turns the “giant” metaphor into a declaration of confidence, freedom and finding someone capable of meeting her at her level. The Godzilla-inspired concept could easily have become camp for camp’s sake, yet “Chakzilla” works because Khan commits completely, making the song feel less like a nostalgia exercise and more like a colorful, self-aware reintroduction ahead of her new album of the same name, due September 18.
