Irene Michaels is a fixture of Chicago culture. A multi-talented creator and media personality, over the years her name has become synonymous with Windy City style. After decades of working in every facet of the entertainment industry, in 2022 the timeless beauty launched a brand new career as a house music recording artist.
She got her start as a teenage model and dancer in the 1960s. Since then, Irene Michaels has worked in television, film, and theater. She even appeared on General Hospital and in the 1988 Hollywood cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Now in her 70s, the multifaceted creator is making her mark on the club scene.
“Party on Lake Shore Drive” is a new single from Irene Michaels, available worldwide via all major streaming services. Classic house piano chords and a funk guitar open the track over a driving four on the floor groove. Disco strings and analog synths paint the periphery as the singer steps to the mic to deliver an upbeat and energetic Chicago summer party anthem in a smooth and soulful alto.
