SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:49 Min.
“Own the Night” was recorded by Chaka Khan for Miami Vice’s first TV soundtrack, which was released in 1985.
REVIEW:
Chaka Khan’s vocals are the best element of this pop/R&B hybrid. Make no mistake, though: both the mid-80’s-style melody and suggestive lyrics belong to Miami Vice’s gritty-and-glittery storytelling. Conveying a world-weary prostitute’s point-of-view, “Own the Night” offers okay listening, but its dubious context doesn’t make this song a keeper.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
