Chaka Khan will release a new single, “I Love Myself,” on Feb. 19. To help spread the song’s themes of self-esteem and acceptance, the Grammy Award winner is inviting fans to submit a one-minute video clip of themselves lip-synching to the song’s chorus by Feb. 19. The winning clips will then be featured in the song’s accompanying music video.
“It is important that in these troubled times we honor our own self-respect,” says Khan in announcing the “I Love Myself” video contest. “Beauty knows no boundaries and is accepting of us all whether black, white, gay, straight, physically or mentally challenged.”
