I can't understand why the album was shelved. This is such a terrific cut. By the way I heard " The Essential Chaka Khan" will be released soon. Look out for it!!Thanks for sharing!!
It was shelved because they kept telling Chaka they wanted her to give it a Mary J Blige feel, a more youthful feel. And she was like, 'if you want it to sound Mary-esque or youthful, then go get Mary or somebody else!' It was shelved, and Chaka left Warner Bros.
I'm so glad oi ve got my accctual personal single of this personal single that wasn't included with the original 1996Epiphany, the best of Chaka Khan, volume 1
This is a real sweet tune. Warners wanted CK to act/sing younger than her years; even younger than Mary, who was 24 in '95; CK was 42. It's what the market wanted. Dance hits w/ lots of rap stuffed in 'em. "Everywhere" 'Pain" "Never Miss the Water" "Somethin Deep" "Every Little Thing" "Your Love is all I Know" "Miles Blowin'" "You and I Are One" "Power"" Love Me Still" strong adult tunes, but no real focus among them & not teen friendly enough. You can deny it though, this tune is HOT FOR REAL!

LOVE THIS!! Im a huge Chaka-holic, glad I stumbled on this, which Ive never heard! THANKS for posting.
C Flow this song is a hit !!! An a future Khan classic!!!! Shame on Warner Brothers for not releasing it.....
One of her BEST solo tracks!!! SHAME on the label for not releasing this album. Total Classic!!!
This album needs to be released...these tracks are amazing!
The tracks that I have heard are great, the music business is hard as hell to be in. As a fan of Chaka Khan I`m sorry this album was`t released.
WARNER BROTHERS RELEASE THIS ALBUM NOW..........IT IS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥IN 2022! ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!!!!
Another spectacular performance by one of my muses. Work it Ms. CK

🎼Chaka khan have more colors than the rainbow 🎶
I like that😎
If the list you gave the entire album this is even more of a travesty. May have been one of Chaka's strongest albums
Smokin hot track needs to come out with the album
It is such a shame the Dare You To Love Me album was shelved... Do you have "Color Of A Dream I Had" by any chance? I can't find it anywhere!
Actually that song is called "One Rainy Wish." It's a Jimi Hendrix cover.
I'm so glad oi ve got my accctual personal single of this personal single that wasn't included with the original 1996Epiphany, the best of Chaka Khan, volume 1
Me tooo, I wouldn't never known that this had even existed 😂
I never heard this! Thank you! Nice! Wish the album had been released!👍🏼
Any more songs from this unreleased album?

What happened to You and I Are One? It was up on youtube last year and now it's gone.
@AleekahTV the majority of the songs ended up on "Epiphany". Everything after "What Cha" is new, plus 'Love Me Still'

I like...
I moved and lost my deluxe edition of Chaka's Epiphany, featuring this song "it ain't easy loving me"
Was this the album "Pain" was suppose to be on? I think Prince did some production on.
The album was to be called "Dare you to love me!"
Pain was before this song. It's on the living single soundtrack
This is the bonus track from Epiphany:the best of Chaka Khan Vol1
you have the music - keep on lovin me - public demand
