It’s an important day when Chicago born and raised, 10 time Grammy Award-winning superstar, Chaka Khan, drops her first single in several years, “I Love Myself,” via iKhan Records and MondoTunes. “I Love Myself” is a soulful and funky anthem which spreads the message of self love. Her voice, one of my favorite instruments on planet earth, is rich, powerful and expressive over the song’s intricate percussion. The great Miles Davis said of her, “She sings like my horn.” Just a few highlights of Chaka’s incredible career that has spanned four decades include her legendary work with Rufus, collaborations with Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Steve Winwood, Mary J. Blige, George Benson, Larry Graham, the London Symphony Orchestra and countless others. “I Love Myself” premiered on Entertainment Weekly with a statement from Ms. Khan, “It is important that in these troubled times we honor our own self-respect. Beauty knows no boundaries and is accepting of us all whether black, white, gay, straight, physically or mentally-challenged.” A portion of its proceeds will go to Face Forward and STOMP Out Bullying, organizations that work with assisting victims of domestic violence and discrimination. Show yourself some love and listen to Chaka Khan.
