美國實力歌姬［夏卡．康］──嘻哈／R&B／放克──［Spoon／湯匙］

I got me some cookin
Not all that good lookin
Hes mighty sweet to me
Thats how hes keepin me

I aint worried bout the future
The here and now is lookin cuter
I like his recipe
Thats why Im layin

You are just like my favorite spoon
Cause you stir me up
Im as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me

Am I happy?
(I think so)
Dont be so emotional
(I cant help it, no)

Will he be there?
(I think so)
Its one thing that I do know
This I know

Everybody needs to feel it
Cant beg, borrow or steal it
Love is all about lovin
When its hot like an oven

I aint worried bout the future
The here and now is lookin cuter
Got plenty o time for sortin
Cause Mamas little baby loves her shortnin bread

You are just like my favorite spoon
Cause you stir me up
Im as full as a harvest moon
Still I need more in my cup
And only you can give it to me

１９９６年底，３２歲半的美國實力歌姬夏卡．康（Chaka Khan）康突然離開華納兄弟唱片，理由是該公司忽視了她，並且沒有發行已錄製好的［Dare You to Love Me］專輯。

１９９８年，４５歲的康與音樂鬼才巨星王子（Prince）的NPG唱片公司簽約，

７月發行第九張大碟［Come 2 My House／來我的屋子］．

製作群包括王子，Howard McCrary，Robert D. Palmer，Ricky Peterson，夏卡康．

康參與所有１３首歌共同製作

王子參與１０首創作，１２首歌曲共同製作人．

風格多元，融合放克、溫柔民謠、福音、嘻哈和重低音節拍，獲得良好評價．

首支單單曲［Spoon／湯匙］

由夏卡康，王子， Howard McCrary，羅伯帕默（Robert Palmer）合寫．

Howard McCrary＋羅伯帕默製作成一首嘻哈／R&B／放克，

在中板的節拍中，康已相當節制的唱腔低調演繹

羅伯帕默並擔任歌曲中電話音男聲．

可是大眾反應冷漠，［Spoon／湯匙］未打入美國告示牌任何榜單．

連帶大碟［Come 2 My House］也銷售悽慘，未擠入美國告示牌專輯榜，

只拿到副榜──R&B專輯榜＃４９．根據Nielsen SoundScan統計系統，到２００５年為止，［Come 2 My House］僅賣出７．６萬張．
