In Case You Forgot: she's still the queen!

I am so glad to see that after the flop of her latest new studio album, aretha got back on the right track!
She ensured this one would have worked out at its best, even though her vocals are not that powerful anymore...
She's carefully chosen among the best new producers of R'n'B and Soul and the result is this real nice compilation of new songs.
You can feel the energy she's about to unleash directly from the titletrack, a one-woman work done by Lauryn Hill.
From there on til the last track, Aretha soulfully glides thru upbeats (HERE WE GO AGAIN, I'LL DIP) to the usual ballads she accomplishes grandly - my favourite ones are IN CASE YOU FORGOT and EVERY LIL' BIT HURTS.
NEVER LEAVE YOU AGAIN is an odd pairing with Puff Daddy and HOW MANY TIMES with David Foster.
THE WOMAN is the closing track, and it spells out Aretha's motto: I am the woman and I am here to stay!

Lets Be Real

yo peoples lets be real. afta all ree ree is. all of dis hype about her singing style now and this n that is jus that. hype. anybody who can survive in this business for multiple decades maintain a voice with the emotional power and strength behind that aretha's has, continue to deliver with priceless soul, and to grow artistically is tha ish in ma book. if she stayed the same peeps would get tired of her.she is tha stuff and this is priceless. this is actually my favorite album. ive heard the older stuff. dont get me wrong i love em and they are truly undying classics. but "in case you all forgot". its a new time and place. my accolades to Lady Soul Ree Ree Retha Miss Thaing. you r doin ur thaing and i have a feeling you wont stop. and if you dont have the album get it

Untouchable

This has got to be one of the best Cd's out there. Not only for Aretha but....period! I have listened to it over & over. I truly love each song. The woman can sing and you feel her every emotion on every note. I never get sick of it and every one who hears it feels the same!
