Sia Calls Chaka Khan 'Godzilla of Chanteuses' in New Collab
7 May
Summary
- Chaka Khan's new single 'Chakzilla' features Sia's backing vocals.
- Sia has become Chaka Khan's godmother, a role that developed naturally.
- The music video for 'Chakzilla' shows Khan as a society-rebuilding monster.
Chaka Khan's new single, "Chakzilla," has been released, marking a significant collaboration with fellow artist Sia. The dance-pop track, co-written by Sia who also provides backing vocals, highlights the deep friendship between the two musicians. Khan, 73, revealed that Sia, 50, asked her to be her godmother, a role Khan accepted "quite naturally."
The single "Chakzilla" is the lead track from Khan's upcoming album, also titled "Chakzilla," scheduled for release on Friday, September 18. This project is the culmination of about a year and a half of work with producer Greg Kurstin. Sia described Khan as "the Godzilla of chanteuses alive" and expressed her honor in collaborating.
In the "Chakzilla" music video, Chaka Khan portrays a powerful figure akin to Godzilla, but with a focus on rebuilding society rather than destruction. Khan stated this altruistic character aligns with her personal values and essence. This upcoming album will be Khan's first new release since 2019's "Hello Happiness," and she anticipates it will be a strong pop dance offering with additional collaborations.
