As previously reported, soul giant Aretha Franklin has been working on an album honouring classic songs by some of the world's biggest divas.
Giving it a modern twist, she's included cuts from the likes of Alicia Keys and Destiny's Child, and brought in André 3000 and Babyface on production.
Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics arrives on October 21 through RCA, but you can hear her take on Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" now. It might be a favourite to butcher at karaoke, but Franklin does anything but that — even adding in a surprise mash-up towards the end. Give it a listen below.
