OWN THE NIGHT (by Chaka Khan: Miami Vice, Volume 1 TV soundtrack)

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.
