The Woman I Am is the eighth studio album by American singer Chaka Khan. It was released by Warner Bros. Records on April 14, 1992, in the United states. Dedicated to her friend Miles Davis, who had died the previous year, the album was Khan's first full-length project since 1988's CK. Khan worked with a variety of producers on the album, including multi-instrumentalist Marcus Miller, Scritti Politti's David Gamson as well as frequent collaborator Arif Mardin and his son Joe Mardin.
The album received largely mixed reviews from music critics but became Khan's highest-charting album on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart since 1984's I Feel for You. In 1993, it earned her a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female. Due to increasing artistic differences between Khan and Warner Bros, with her planned 1995 follow-up Dare You to Love Me eventually being shelved, The Woman I Am would mark Khan's final full-length release for a major label.
