\n Look! It\u2019s Chakzilla! Not only is Chaka Khan<\/a> every woman, but she\u2019s also a benevolent monster. Khan just released her new single, \u201cChakzilla,\u201d with an accompanying music video, and the whole package is an utter delight. Even the title \u201cChakzilla\u201d is an immediately delightful word to say and paints the picture of a gigantic Chaka Khan towering over skyscrapers. Written with Sia, the lyrics sadly don\u2019t use the word \u201cChakzilla,\u201d but the chorus does have Khan repeating the phrase \u201cI\u2019m a giant\u201d several times over. In classic Chaka Khan form, it\u2019s a disco bop with a funky groove that anyone\u2019s mom could happily dance to at a wedding. The song is about the problem of looking for a romantic partner who matches your level while being a forever music icon. \u201cForever my heart aches \/ \u2019Cause you\u2019re my equal babe,\u201d Khan sings. She adds, \u201cIt was winter and now every day\u2019s summer \/ I been waiting to get laid in this number.\u201d<\/p>\n But while the song itself is a bop that doesn\u2019t fully grapple with the title, the music video gives into the \u201cChakzilla\u201d of it all. In it, Khan watches a movie about a giant version of herself arriving in a city that has already been destroyed by a different monster. Instead of further destroying the city, the large Chakzilla rebuilds it through the magic of her presence. \u201cHope arrives in designer boots,\u201d reads a newspaper headline. Khan herself mostly just lackadaisically walks around, but where she steps, buildings magically come together and cement flies upward to repair the walls. \u201cChakzilla is good for the city,\u201d a man says. \u201cPutting buildings back together, supporting humanity.\u201d It\u2019s the kind of music-video ridiculousness that modern artists seem scared to indulge in, reminiscent of Missy Elliott\u2019s Halloween classic \u201cWork It\u201d<\/a> or even the silliness of MGMT\u2019s \u201cKids.\u201d<\/a> More Chakzilla fun, please!<\/p>\n
