Aretha Franklin is back.

As reported, the Queen Of Soul is readying a new album – under the stewardship of Clive Davis – titled ‘Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics’.

Set for release on October 21st, the intriguing project sees the legend pay homage to a carefully curated list of classics and has thus far spawned a cover of Adele‘s ‘Rolling In The Deep’. 

Today, though, brings with it another cut from the LP. This time it’s Franklin’s take on Gloria Gaynor‘s classic anthem ‘I Will Survive’, which she has fused with Destiny’s Child‘s mega-smash ‘Survivor’.

Take a listen below…

Cute.

    I love Aretha, but these new recordings are awful. They sounds like they were recorded at her home on her laptop. I’m embarrassed for her.

  7. Lindsay Lohan October 7, 2014

    I applaud her for releasing songs at her age without the need to prove anything, but she’s in need of a better producer that can mix her voice recordings better. This sounds like a $20 dollar production from an iPhone.

    Because I know Aretha will read me to the point where I want to shrew my birth certificate, I think I’m going to say no comment to make sure I don’t shade her iconic status.
