Spoon was a promotional single by Chaka Khan available in late 1998, shortly before the release of her first and only NPG Records album Come 2 My House; the single marked the first release by Chaka Khan on NPG Records, therefore.
The single (promo) was available in the US and in Europe (as a 1-track single), with no commercial release. The US version contained the album version of the track Spoon, on which Prince (as ) is believed to appear as a musician, as well as Tour The House, which includes clips of several tracks from Come 2 My House.
Tour The House does not include any unique instrumentation or lyrics, restricted instead to song clips edited into each other (similar to the track X-cerpts From The Songs: Thunder, Daddy Pop, Strollin’, Jughead, Money Don’t Matter 2 Night, Push, Live 4 Love from the Diamonds And Pearls single). It includes edited clips taken from various tracks on the album: This Crazy Life Of Mine (1:10), Pop My Clutch (0:39), Don’t Talk 2 Strangers (1:11), Democrazy (1:28) and Remember U (0:55), bookended with the sound effects of doors opening and closing (see specific tracks for recording information and recording personnel). Tour The House was also included on the Don’t Talk 2 Strangers single.
This promo single did not chart in the USA or Europe but the song reached number 17 on the Tokio Hot 100 Chart in Japan.
