Aretha Franklin Sings the Great
Diva Classics é o trigésimo oitavo álbum de estúdio da cantora americana Aretha
Franklin e foi lançado em 17 de
outubro de 2014.
Possui dez covers
de canções
que ficou famosa por alguma cantora. Esta é a primeira gravação de Aretha
para RCA
Records e seu primeiro álbum de estúdio a ser lançado sob uma grande
gravadora em 11 anos - desde o lançamento de seu álbum de estúdio de 2003, So Damn Happy,
lançado pelo selo da Arista.
É também seu primeiro álbum,
desde 1998, a ser
produzido por Clive Davis, seu ex-chefe também da Arista
Records. Davis chamou o álbum de "pura e simplesmente
sensacional" e disse que de Aretha
Franklin "está pegando fogo e vocalmente em uma forma absolutamente no
pico. Que emoção de ver a artista inigualável ainda mostrando o caminho, ainda
provocando arrepios na espinha, ainda demonstrando que toda a música
contemporânea precisa agora é a voz, e que voz". A produção do álbum
inclui produtores André 3000, Clive
Davis, Antonio Dixon, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds,
Terry Hunter, Eric Kupper, Harvey Mason, Jr., Dapo Torimiro, Wayne Williams,
entre outros.
O primeiro single do álbum é um
cover da cantora Adele,
"Rolling in the Deep", intitulado como
"Rolling in the Deep (The Aretha Versiom)",
que também inclui uma parte das letras do hit de Marvin
Gaye e Tammi Terrell, "Ain't No Mountain High
Enough". O single estreou na 47ª posição na Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
Aretha
torna-se assim a primeira mulher, e quarta artista global, que colocou 100
músicas do gráfico, com sua primeira entrada na Billboard com
seu primeiro single "Today I Sing The Blues", em 1960.
There's a fire burning in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the
dark
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I'll leave with every part of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire burning in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the
dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
It keeps me thinking we almost had it all
The scars of your love, it keeps me breathless
I can't help thinking
We could've had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
But you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head
burn
(Woah) think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
It keeps me thinking we almost had it all
The scars of your love, it keeps me breathless
I can't help thinking
We could've had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
But you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could've had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
But you played it to the beat, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
You know that ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
You know that ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
We could've had it all (oh)
Rolling in the deep (oh)
You had my heart inside of your hand (oh)
But you played it to the beat
(Rolling in the deep)
We could've had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling, rolling, rolling
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
