    The song is ok but the arrangement and production ... oy gavalt. A 3:45 minute Chaka single with a 1:15 minute intro? And the lady's voice is mixed down and vocodered or whatever. A real shame because there's something in the song that makes me think of a great Rufus lp track with first-class instrumentation and the fog-Khan voice raising the rafters.

    If you exclude her Rufus albums, you think "wow, just twelve albums?"

    Agreed! I also think it could do more to showcase her voice. Needs more funk and less synth. I will likely buy the album anyway, just to support her and hope that it will help her get more albums out there. It's been far too long since her last one...
