After making her return with the singles “Like Sugar” and “Hello Happiness,” Queen of Funk Chaka Khan announces the release date for her new studio album, Hello Happiness.
The 10-time Grammy Award winner will deliver the new project on February 15, 2019 via Major Lazer’s Diary Records / Island Records.
According to a press release:
‘Hello Happiness’ is an album which sets Chaka Khan’s timeless vocal to an empowering collection of songs with cutting-edge production. With an eye on the future and a respect for the past, Chaka Khan has delivered an album with the contemporary edge to entice newcomers to her world-class talent and the quality to excite long-term fans.
Accompanying the release news are the album cover art and a music video for title track, “Hello Happiness,” which serves as a tribute to the life-affirming power of music. The Sam Pilling-directed clip depicts a series of characters whose true intentions are revealed as their individual stories gradually merge into a plot in which they’re all interconnected. Filmed in Los Angeles, its grainy, washed out palette recalls some of the classic ‘70s movies.
‘Hello Happiness’ is now available to pre-order from ChakaKhan.lnk.to/HelloHappinessPR with ‘Like Sugar’ and the title track both provided as instant downloads. It will be released on vinyl, digital, CD and cassette.
