Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin is back!
The 72-year-old singer, with the help of Clive Davis, is breathing new life into a number of classic “diva” offerings from the likes of Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, and more. Unveiling news on her newest album ‘Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics,’ if you’ve ever wondered what Franklin’s thrilling gospel style would sound like over the instrumental of Alicia Keys‘ ‘No One,’ then wonder no more.
With 10 tracks of Re-re revamps aboard one album, the decision of choosing one to kick off the October 21st due set had to have been challenging. Alas, the selection came in the form of Adele’s monster hit ‘Rolling In the Deep.’
Will Franklin see her version roll the song right back to the top of charts? You tell us after you listen to this must hear tune:
Umm…wow.

She is using too much auto-tune, it takes away from the grit and soulfulness of the song…But overall it was not bad, and i like d mash-up…..Dis bish at the age of 72 can sill out-sing most of these girls in pop tho….

looove the “ain’t no mountain high enough” addition to the song.

the way Lb never reveals the country/city he lives in knows his neighbourhood doesn’t go hand in hand with his infamous “she/he is getting my coins”
.
but im convinced he’s from an informal settlement in SA. Aint no way he can just know about Polokwane City
.
Death at it opening the post, aint your goats busy destroying someone’s farm?. get back to work b****
Where in Jozi u from?
Career Ender, I don’t have to live in South Africa to know about it, that is just ignorant.
‘
I don’t live in South Africa, I just have an interest in it. And even if I did, so what? What is so bad about South Africa?
Death!!!!!!!!!!!L.B DO U REALLY LIVE IN SOUTH-AFRICA?????? OS IS CAREER ENDER JUST BEING SHADY…
This is not good….
IT WAS OKAY….JUST TOO MUCH AUTO-TUNE… AND IT WAS NOT PRODUCED WELL ENOUGH
Biitch
SA is a joke the country has a very high A*** and Poverty rate on top of that their president has 5 wives and plenty more waiting to get married
Fat flop b****. Patti >>>>
BAHAHA PATTI DON”T EVEN HAVE A RECORD DEAL.
This sounds like a YouTube cover. She sounds like she’s singing to be signed.
She sings way to good to have such crap production and the auto tune is just a disrespect in itself!!!!
Adele who??? When will that FAT COTTAGE CHEESE P**** ADELE??!!
Love your drags doll! LOL
Using Mariah’s airbrushers, I see…
Lawd! I just about died!
I think it is a very good version (I´m not saying great cause I don´t like the last part). Remember this lady is not 30 years old, so anything that sounds very good is an achievement. She should have included a Mariah carey song on the album though. We know she loves her 🙂 But it´s an idea that could work for her, very Barbra Streisand like.
shut the fug up katy cat!
.
I am from South Africa my self
.
but I think LB is from an informal settlement somewhere in SA
.
my point still stands till u prove me other wise Lb, you are a goat hearder somewhere in the informal settlements

smart move. those eyebrows tho.
The production is kinda messy here. However,
Aretha gives me inflection and soul on this song,
more than I have had heard it sung before.
#QueenofSoul

I always thought Adele was a white washed Aretha and Rolling In The Deep had a Respect sound.
Anyway, the Queen of Soul! A real queen, not one of those self proclaim ones.
THE ORIGINAL UNDISPUTED QUEEN HAS ARRIVED. ALL THE OTHER PRETENDERS CAN NOW RETIRE THEIR FAKE CROWNS! SLAYING IN THE DEEP!
Damn Aunt Ree!
Cover is on fire putting some of these today’s wannbe divas to shame
Ariana, K Crutchelle, or any other take a seat
At 72 and still sing I take my hat and my plastic leg off to her
Marikos
.
don’t do subliminals come out so i can pass with you when I blow
.
* watches queen of the damned*
Did ur mum not abort you
Truly icon voice. It’s a shame the artist of this generation can do songs from the past any justice, with the accepting of a few.
YESSSSSS Mother Aretha!! I love her so much and her voice is still soulfully energized and touching souls.
I like the concept, but not the execution.
I hear lots of screeching and autotune. I don’t like this. I still listen to Aretha’s old music though.
THE Queen of Soul
Pretty good but Aretha at her peak would have killed this. It’s a bit heartbreaking to listen to her perform at less than her peak. Still good though.
Aretha sounds a mess! Yes I know she’s past her peak vocally and she is 72,but this is a horrible cover.1956-2005 Aretha would’ve destroyed this song,modern drag it out over phrasing aretha sounds a mess as of late on record,but still sounds great live.
