The Guardian ranks 20 songs from Chaka Khan’s catalogue ahead of her forthcoming 13th solo album, Chakzilla, highlighting her range across funk, disco, R&B and ballads.

– The selection spans Khan’s solo work and recordings with Rufus, praising both major hits and overlooked deep cuts.
– “Love You All My Lifetime” is presented as an under-promoted 1992 track with strong funk and contemporary R&B appeal.
– Later material, including “Hello Happiness”, is framed as evidence that Khan remained a compelling performer after recording less frequently.
– “Through the Fire” is noted as her biggest streaming song from I Feel for You, helped by Kanye West’s sample but driven by Khan’s vocal.
– Rufus tracks such as “You Got the Love”, “Once You Get Started”, “Street Player” and “Do You Love What You Feel” illustrate the band’s influential funk and disco output.
– The article also urges a reissue of Come 2 My House, Khan’s Prince collaboration, which is unavailable on streaming services.
