Album: Naughty
Artist: Chaka Khan
By the early '80s {$Chaka Khan} and producer {$Arif Mardin} had a great working relationship that was responsible for her hit solo debut, 1979's {^Chaka}. Despite having the hit single {&"I'm Every Woman,"} {^Chaka} was often a stilted and unfocused affair. {^Naughty} presents the two in a more centered working relationship. The big hit here, {&"Papillion (aka Hot Butterfly),"} projects an effortlessness that didn't come as easy during {$Khan}'s concurrent run with {$Rufus}. The tough, {\Latinized} {\rock/funk} of {&"Too Much Love"} has one of {$Khan}'s most visceral performances. For {^Naughty} {$Khan} also does one of the better versions of {$Aaron Schroeder} and {$Jerry Ragovoy}'s {&"Move Me No Mountain"} that's made even better by {$Anthony Jackson}'s steady bass and {$Steve Ferrone}'s tough drumming. Despite the high points, other songs like {&"What You Did,"} {&"Our Love's in Danger,"} and even {$Ashford & Simpson}'s {&"Clouds"} come off underdone. Recorded at {@Atlantic Studios} in New York, most of {^Naughty} represents {$Khan} in a holding pattern, without much material to accommodate her widening range. That being said, {^Naughty} is only a few songs away from being a bona fide classic. ~ Jason Elias, All Music Guide
