A sign of separation and the perfect form of funk - the final "Rufus with Chaka"
A groovy masterpiece released just before Chaka Khan left Rufus. A fusion of powerful bass lines and beautiful soul vocals, this album shows the maturity of the funk band.
"Camouflage" is an album released in 1981 that could be considered the "final chapter" of Rufus and Chaka Khan. While Chaka's vocals explode in various places, it is a crystallization of funk that highlights the unity of the band's performance. Highlights are "Sharing the Love" and "Better Together," where the precision of the sections resonates with Chaka's supple vocals. As a studio album, this one has great historical value as a "transitional period" since Chaka moved on to full-fledged solo activities. The smooth mix and high level of performance technique are appealing.
