Synopsis

Product Description
Taka Boom really sounds great in this set of 80s grooves, tunes recorded in the middle part of the decade, but with some of the leaner styles of a few years before, that near-perfect blend of beats and keyboards that sums up early 80s soul at its best. Taka's vocals have a strong sense of force here, but are never too over the top, just right in line with the punch in the rhythms, and a bit of a change from her disco years. CD features 3 bonus tracks - Love Party (extended mix), and dub and extended mixes of Middle Of The Night.
 

CD Reviews

Taka Rocked My World....
G. Carter | Temple Hills, maryland United States | 09/28/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Another one of my All-Time favorite 80's lp's!!! I totally drove my family crazy with this one! I played this Lp several times a day in 1985!! I knew Taka was Chaka Khan's sister and that Taka had sang with a later version of the Undisputed Truth, and had released two solo lp's before this one, but it wasn't until 1985 that I really heard her strong voice and saw the video to 'Middle of the night' and fell so in LOVE with this song!!! I brought the cassette, 45, 12", Lp and later the cd! talk about an obsession! :) I was so disappointed when this lp didn't do well, as a single 'Middle of the night' did manage to hit #63 on the R&B charts but the second single 'Climate For Love' didn't chart, this Lp got some promotion and air-play in my area but then nothing! This was a solid set from Taka and I still love every song on this! It came out on cd as a Germany import and was very hard to find, now it has been re-issued again with a bonus track 'Love Party' from her second lp 'Boomerang'."
