Chaka Khan & Me'shell NdegéOcello - "Never miss the water" This is probably the best song Chaka Khan recorded in the 90s, this is how she should sing....

Actually, I heard this incredible joint on her Epiphany Vol.1 collection. Have you heard the other new joints that were on that collection? Check me out and add me on:

interestingly,this song is actually from an unreleased Chaka Khan album titled 'Dare You To Love Me'.It was recorded in 1995 but unfortunately,Warner Bros. rejected it.The tracklist consisted of:
Dare You To Love Me Never Miss The Water Don't Take Back Your Love Love Me Still Pain Miles Blowin' Everywhere Let My Heart Go You And I Are One Power Color Of A Dream I Had Whatever I Want Every Little Thing Something Deep Your Love Is All I Know It Ain't Easy Lovin' Me Superlife (bonus track) Several of these tunes,including "Never Miss The Water",made it onto Chaka's Greatest Hits CD 'Ephinany',released in 1996.Still,I'd love to hear this album in it's original form.Insiders swear that it's one of the strongest albums she's ever made. | |

I haven`t heard of that album before, thanks for posting.  I didn`t realize "Love me still" was recorded in the 90s, i thought it was from an 80s soundtrack. That means "Never miss the water" is the SECOND best song from the 90s.... | |

love this song. I remember the first time I saw the video for it, it was an unexpected suprise. I didn't even know they we're collaborating on anything, and there it was, boom. | |

I really liked this song. Very good vocals. It should've been a bigger hit (it should've been a hit!). | |

Warner Brothers' dismissive attitude 2ward "I Dare U To Love Me" was the stroke that broke the camel's back, as far as Chaka goes.
They didn't give her the creative control she deserved. They sent a young A&R chic telling her that she should put a record that sounds like Faith Evans/Mary J Blige. Telling that to Chaka?  baaaaad mistake   she stormed back @ her "If you want Faith and Mary then motherfucker, go get 'em". Why in the blue dumb fuck would they want her to sound like Faith & Mary for anyway? 
Altho, I do agree about it being a TOUGH COOKIE, it doesn't come close to her Watcha Gonna Do 4 Me masterpiece. That record was the JOINT! | |

My only gripe is that it's missing a few songs: "Clouds" (1980) "Slow Dancing" with Rick James (1982) "Got To Be There" (1982) "Fate" (1980) | |

I haven`t heard "Slow dancing" For some reason, i don`t really like "Got to be there", not Michael Jackson`s original or Chaka`s cover, i wonder what rest of that album is like though, i know it`s very hard to find... | |

Yeah, they`re okay, but not much more... Not 2 me . Everywhere is a musically & rhythmically well re-arranged version of the Fleedwood Mack classic . Every Little Thing is another infectious stepper , produced by MeShell's former music-companion , David Gamson ( Scritti Pollitti ) Love Me Still is indeed a great ballad . The early mentioned Clockers-soundtrack on which it appears opens with one of the best slow jazz-soul song iv'e heard so far . Forgot who sings it ( something with " Marc " in it ) . Anyway , incredible ballad combined with sphereful soprano-sax additions , solo and cinematic orchestration . . . [Edited 8/15/06 8:53am] | |
