Waze periodically adds celebrity voices to its voice navigation to spice things up for long-time Wazers. The newest addition is Chaka Khan, whose dulcet tones can help you find your way.
Chaka brings her calming energy and wisdom to Waze, transforming your daily commute into a tranquil moment. Chaka’s soothing voice guides you through traffic with gentle reminders to stay present and focused on the road ahead. Navigation prompts like, “buckle up and take a deep breath. Let’s take this journey one mile at a time” and “I’m feeling good today and I hope you are too. Let’s channel that positive energy as we set out on the road,” Chaka’s guidance helps turn driving into a meditation session.
In addition to Chaka’s soothing voice providing navigation, Waze has added a new ‘Focused’ moodlet to turn your car into Chaka’s Morris—a tribute to her very first car, a Morris Minor. The experience is available globally with voice navigation in English. Those who want to experience Chaka Khan on Waze will need to update to the latest version of the app and look for the ‘Chaka Khan’ banner in the column menu to activate.
Waze is no stranger to featuring famous voices as a navigation partner. Previously Waze has featured Arnold Schwarzenegger, Morgan Freeman, Shaquille O’Neal, Kevin Hart, C-3PO, Boy George, T-Pain, and Thrall the former Horde Warchief from World of Warcraft. These specialized voice packs usually aren’t available for very long, so if you’re interested in soothing meditation while driving you should download it sooner rather than later.
Chaka Khan is fresh off of headlining the Montreux Jazz Festival in Miami with Jon Batiste and Janelle Monae. The festival capped its 2nd edition with a weekend of intimate, soulful and funky music with the American take on the traditionally Swiss Montreux Jazz Festival. The European edition of the festival usually lasts 15 days, so the American version was pared down for its Regatta Harbor Marina appearance.
