I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Great soulful singing.

Never listened to her music before but honestly, she delivered! Her vocal range and talent is enough for me to rate this album high however the songs being repetitive and pretty much written over the same BPM makes it boring after a while but considering the fact that this album was written in the 70's and these types of songs were mostly popular in that era just shows the music culture changing over the years. So that's probably why this album didn't stuck with me but its definitely worth a listen. Solid 4/5

jazz honestly, is not my thing, but aretha sounds beautiful as she looks in the cover. a great album, i liked it.

Miss Aretha is one of my favorites, but I never did listen to any of her albums from start to finish before this. It was a blast, I loved every second of it. This right here is what I know best. The groove, the vibe and the voice is a whole package of brilliance in one album.

Un album entretenido, bonita produccion, buenas letras, me gusto pero creo no es lo que escucharia

Is there anyone in the history of music with a better voice? I didn’t expect to give this 5 stars but by the end of it I was convinced as it became clear that I was enjoying the music as much as her vocals.

MY QUEEN

This is the easiest 5 I've ever given. I love soul music and the Motown era of music. I'm not sure if she was technically Motown but that era is my second favorite genre of music.

Very good jazz/blues albuns, a classic

This had some amazing parts but the rest kind of blended together.

Aretha Franklin is a very good singer, the instrumental is good, the energy and soul this has is incredible.

Strong

I liked it a lot. One of the best voices ever, I love the soul in every song. 4,5/5.

Its fine just not my type of music.

Nice. It is just nice.

A voice the Queen. No one had her pipes. Aretha completely stole "Respect" right out from Otis Redding, a bona fide legend. Songs of the power of women, love, heartbreak. In addition to soul, she brought in a track of bossa nova. And while there are covers, including Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come", there are a few tracks she wrote, and most of the piano work on this is hers, too. Legend.

First Listen; 4; Really incredible vocal performance. Hard to talk about much else besides that. The backing music, aside from Respect, feels pretty subdued but still good. Favorite Track: Respect

its alright but like yeah

très bon 4+/5

She's not as good as Nina Simone

timeless classics from the Queen of Soul. Mandatory study for anyone of any age who appreciates music. Not just R&B or soul music, ANY music. She is that great and powerful and timeless.

R E S P E C T, as it goes. It's a good album, if not fully my style of music. But I enjoyed it nevertheless, and clearly well deserving of the list. Maybe a 4?

The thing I find most interesting about this album is that a ton of the songs are covers. I could have gone my entire life thinking "Respect" was an Aretha Franklin original, but nope. It's actually an Otis Redding song from less than 2 years prior. This one is hard to rate for me. Albums that are objectively a 5 always make me feel terrible for not personally loving. Aretha Franklin is one of the most well known, beloved musicians of all time. Her voice is absolutely iconic. She has been given every positive accolade under the sun. Her version of “Respect” is also perfect. I was surprised to see it wasn’t her most listened to song on Spotify. If you put a gun to my head, I’d have told you it was number 1. Instead, number 1 went to a song from a different album entirely, that song being “I Say a Little Prayer”. By name alone, I don’t even recognize that song. In fact, even on this album, I only know “Respect”, and it’s my favorite song on the album by far. Why is this a 3 if I’ve acknowledged and understand how great she is then?? What fault could I possibly find in this album?? Well, none honestly. I can’t fault this album, I just don’t personally enjoy this type of music very much. That’s just not the way I rank these albums. I thought this was slow, not terribly interesting, and only has 1 memorable song. But that’s just from my perspective, personally. Again, I reiterate, this is a fantastic album. It’s just not really for me. This is the first of 2 Aretha Franklin albums I have rolled for this project. One of the best to ever do it, but for the modern ears, she just sounds alright to me, and I would not personally return to this. I can’t even really say that “Respect” got stuck in my head like I thought it would. It’s such a short song, and ends way too early. I wish it was even just 30 seconds longer so I could enjoy it more. Still though, now I want to wait to hear her number 1 song to see if I recognize it or not. I wonder if it really is catchier and better than “Respect”, but somehow I just doubt that it would be. We’ll see when I roll it at some point. Quick update after the review. Upon further inspection, the album with her top song isn’t even on here. I guess I’ll just play it regardless to see how good it is.

Dope

The perfect redemption after rating 'Lady Soul' a bit too low! This album is an absolute soul classic. I saved 8 tracks for my personal playlist, including 'Respect' and 'A Change Is Gonna Come'. The vibes are immaculate. A very strong 4/5.

Good but not my type

Once a Queen, always a queen... Love you Aretha

Aretha Franklin is a vaguely familiar name to me, though I don't think I've listened to a single song of hers. I'm really split down the middle on what this album could be. It's too late to be a vocal jazz album and a little too early to be a soul album. The title doesn't strike me as blues, either. I suppose this album is closer to soul's time in the limelight than vocal jazz, so I'll hedge my bets on a soul album. Here goes. Yup, it's a soul album. I've been on a bit of a hot streak with my genre predictions lately. That being said, I'm beginning to tire of the soul albums, so this isn't catching me at a good time. Still, it was fine. Aretha Franklin is a competent singer. She harmonises nicely and has a clear, pleasing voice. Admittedly, her style of singing isn't to my liking largely because of how noisy and varied it is, though her performances are solid nonetheless. There's less to remark about the instrumentals. They're your standard, impersonal backing band affair, though the delicate pianos and bluesy guitars are among the highlights of its instrumental offerings. What I really salute about this album is its runtime - I'm always down for a shortie. Overall, I was content to let this one run through, though I doubt I'll ever return to it. Book time. "...the queen of soul". I'd venture to guess that's how I know of her. Franklin's previous record deal with Columbia stifled her creative potential, with this release from Atlantic being the one to bring her out of her shell. Aretha wrote four of the tracks on this album and played the piano. That's about it, however. Wikipedia says this album was Franklin's breakthrough release and had two successful singles. Contemporary reviews were mixed, though it's since been reappraised as one of the all-time greatest albums. Franklin's cover of "Respect" is considered her signature song. The album peaked at No. 2 on the US charts and No. 36 in the UK, but charted nowhere else. Yeah. I'm favourable to this album and I'll likely be favourable to her next album if she truly is the queen of soul. I cosign this inclusion.

Easy listening. Great production. Very evocative, cold rainy weekends, in front of the fireplace with a large glass of red wine.

Top songs: do right woman do right man, respect, good times, a change is gonna come

Álbum 5/10, Respect es un gran tema aspen. Con un día nublado este disco dan ganas de dormir, pero está bueno jaja

The song Respect increases the rating

Aretha has so much talent but is limited by technology of the time, her vocals stand out a lot over the musical aspect but still blends well across the album. Respect is iconic, but will say it does not stand out against the rest of the album

I mean, its Aretha.

She is the greatest of all time tbh, this is probably a 5 but after first listen I was feeling her other record in the list a bit more

Following 9 unsuccessful jazz standard albums, Aretha was dropped by Columbia and picked up by Atlantic, where she would flip to a soul style she's now well known for. The title track was recorded in the famous FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals before an argument broke out between Franklin's husband studio owner Rick Hall. The studio was changed but members of the Muscle Shoals band were flown to it to continue recording. Also featuring her best known track in Respect, and a brilliant cover of Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come; the album catapulted her to the success we know her for today. And what a voice! It's the kind of voice that was copied time and again, particularly its acrobatics, and particularly when I was growing up in the 90s. And although they could technically hit those heights, they couldn't carry the emotional weight that Aretha does here. Her performance is deep, powerful mesmerising and simply unmissable.

accidentally listened on shuffle but it was still awesome. She's the queen.

Aretha! A wonder from my state! I know a lot of her singles but no full album, and knowing that a lot of music was focused on singles rather than albums from this timeframe, I wasn't sure how this record was going to play out. Truth be told, there was no need to worry. This is a truly beautiful album. Aretha's voice is warm and inviting, both demure and demanding simultaneously, with a delivery that makes you believe every single word she's singing. The musical production sounds wonderful - precise but still emotional, with the piano tone standing out as a highlight. Even the nightmares of having to dance to "Respect" at my first job were washed away when I actually sat down to listen to this. Absolutely steller album.

First, Aretha Franklin engraves her legacy in stone on this one. Fire, sweetness, desire, power, sadness, hope. I don't even think this is the greatest recordings of Aretha's voice, but the performance still comes through beautifully. Second, the Muscle Shoals rhythm section and horns back her up beautifully. Always providing a solid groove, and playing perfect blues, rock & roll, and soul with restraint, pushing and pulling, with occasional flashes and flourishes. "Respect" is the obvious example, but "Save Me" is one I just love the sound of the band. This is one of those Albums of the Day that I just put on repeat and listen to all day long. It probably deserves listing in not just top 1000 but top 100, and it's one of those rare albums that I judge other people's taste against: you don't like this? that needs some explanation.

Respect - I’ve listened to this one before.. very groovy, and i love Aretha’s vocals, definitely a very happy song that reminds me of self love! Also very nice brass instrumentation. Bridge is SO GOOD!!!! Really love this song. Drown In My Own Tears - Slower and more emotional. I like the steady drumbeat. Her vocals are so so amazing, such a true talent and gift to this world.. RIP. Reminds me a bit of a ballad, but has more of a groove to it. I really like the backing vocals. I Never Loved a Man - Title song!! I’m always interested to see the song that the whole album is named for. This one also had a pretty steady drumbeat. This song is very jazzy. Franklin’s vocal range is incredible. Part of the song does sound a bit like she is screaming in my ear, adds to the vibe but is kind of a lot (it could be my car speakers).. I wish I could master vocal runs as Aretha did. Soul Serenade - This song reminds me a bit of the songs from the school dance on the Grease soundtrack, I think it’s the beat. Don’t Let Me Lose This Dream - I love the backing vocals and the drums Baby, Baby, Baby - Piano is kind of nice, definitely a quieter song. Thoughtful harmonies. Dr. Feelgood - The songs are all starting to sound pretty similar, but are all still of very high quality. Miss Aretha was quite the genius. Good Times - This song has a more peppy feel. Funny double entendre fueled lyrics.. Do Right Woman, Do Right Man - Another slow song. I think that I prefer her faster, happier songs. They remind me of gospel church songs. Save Me - This song has really cool bass and other instrumentals, reminds me a bit of if Violent Femmes and Sandy Gaye did a song together. A Change Is Gonna Come - Slower ending to a great album!!

Aretha Franklin is now rightfully considered, and will forever remain, the queen of soul music, but to achieve this status, she had to release eight mediocre albums and go into massive debt to break into radio play with her ninth album. With ninth! I probably would have given up and gone to work in a factory by the third. "Yes, there were people in our time..." The album truly deserves every praise; everything comes together in just the right proportions: several well-known hits by other artists, a few new ones, an excellent backing band, and, of course, Aretha's powerful voice. Yes, it's a bit monotonous, but the album is short and doesn't get boring. If soul music isn't your thing, like me, give this album a listen — it's truly impressive. Well, if you like soul music, then it’s unclear why you’re still reading this, because this is your go-to record!

chill copado

No better voice in all of soul

Amazing and interesting. Non hits are really good too.

Voice

sublime. i feel lucky to have been born into a world where this music already existed.

I felt incredibly powerful listening to this while walking about the streets of Las Vegas during my lunch hour. I don’t think I’d ever listened to a whole album of hers. Only greatest hits compilations. This is stunning. This is great. This is music.

it was obviously good vocally but it was kind of slow a lil boring and obv aretha franklin is a blueprint so it doesn’t sound like anything i’ve never heard before

Ziemlich mittelmäßig

It's Aretha Franklin so of course it's going to be high-quality. This kind of felt like an answer to the call of B.B. King. Her compositions are arguably a cut above, with a bit more creativity and extra detail details like background vocals, but the style and the sentiment is very similar. Again, I can't help but think men and women acknowledged their mutual need for each other more than they do now. I don't know if this is a criticism or a feature, but many of the songs just presented one idea and ran with it the whole song into a fade out ending, which kind of feels unfinished and a bit unsatisfying, but it also serves to make more room for her vocal performance. "Don't let me lose this dream" stood out to me in that sense because it actually progresses and changes. I'm finding that the vocal cadence is very much like talking, like she says "I'm gonna do this this and this," and of course the melodic delivery has a lot of artistry, but I kind of prefer more poetic lyrics sung in a more rhythmic cadence, I don't know. I think that is just a characteristic of blues that I don't love. Like they're kind of just talking quite literally about their love affairs and it gets kind of tiring. I would prefer a little bit more stimulus to my imagination.

It's a close call, but I'm giving this one a low 5. It's a short album, and not all of the songs are great, but they're all good to great, and Aretha's singing and the backing band are consistently great. I'm pretty sure Mombo had this album (like 95%), so a little surprised that not all of the songs were super familiar to me; the ones I know best are Respect (of course), I Never Loved, Dr. Feelgood, and Do Right Woman (all GREAT). The other songs aren't quite at the same level, probably, but I will say that I noticed that they were growing on me, as I listened to them 2 or 3 times. Starting to think I don't even need to qualify this as a "low" 5 album. Anyway, 5 it is.

I feel similarly about this album to the way I do about Al Green's Let's Stay Together. I love the vocalist, the tunes and playing are solid. The main thing that's lacking is range. The majority of the songs are about relationships, which is typical of pop music, I know. Franklin's album also lacks original songs: it's a lot of covers. But does she ever put her soul into the songs.

Great singer and soulful music. Aretha Franklin is obviously an icon of music. The only thing keeping this being a 5 for me really is that most of the songs are covers, though that was common at the time.

Creo que uno de los poderes más grandes de Aretha Franklin es su capacidad de transmitir emoción y creo que transmite bastante fuerza

What a fantastic soul album, this is clearly where she took the throne and became the queen. This is much more than the album where Respect is on. It sounds like a blueprint that was followed by the biggest soul artist in the coming decades. I can hear a lof of Al Green and Minnie Ripperton in the sound of this album. I wish it was slightly longer, I guess that the psychodelic soul sound gets developed a little later and it would gone a long way here.

Good start to the experience..

Wirklich die Queen of Soul. Tolles Album mit sehr schönen Songs

schöne stimme, ganz nett anzuhören

goated

A very good album, and it packs so much into just 32 minutes. Favourite track: A Change is Gonna Come

Respect is obviously iconic. Amazing voice. (14 songs, 41 minutes) with 3 repeats?

3 DEFF thats not bad but not good kinda boring i love her vocals just soooo fine

Lot of soul and emotion. Great feel. Not every song is a hit for me, but clearly all have been written and performed with passion. 8/10

Classic respect no skips powerful vocals energy

BOM

Only song that I appreciate spelling in.

YES! ABSOLUTELY ALSO!

10/10

Mega Vocals und Performance!

I could listen to Aretha sing all day

Soul for days.

Not really my vibe but ig it was okay

You know, Aretha Franklin has undeniably an amazing voice. Respect is a classic. These songs are mostly fine. I think as an album, this is nothing special. Not a ton of variety, nothing terribly remarkable.

494/1089 - Good voice and piano playing. Very vamp-reliant music.

A deeply soulful album by one of the greatest to ever do it. Beautiful jazz production accompanied by one of the best vocals in soul.

I say a little prayer for her

3 for respect alone

Respect is such a classic song!

Undeniably strong voice and an amazingly talented singer. And I love the soulful style and sound. But overall the album doesn’t continuously hold my attention.

The OG

Good

Decent, but not my jam

Excellent. Outstanding album, love Rock steady.

Aretha Franklin – I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You (1967) WOW, JUST WOW! This album is that GOOD!!! PERFECTOO. I never loved an album the way I loved this one; it is absolutely immaculate. When I heard "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" a while back, I was highly tempted to dive into the full project right then. Instead, I saved it for this exact moment to get the maximum shock value out of this challenge, and it completely delivered. "Respect" is just beautiful. I think I had heard "Don't Let Me Lose This Dream" somewhere before, I can't recall if it was a Ray Charles or Otis Redding version, but it is perfect; it caught my ears immediately and went straight into my favorite Aretha repertoire. On "Baby, Baby, Baby," she completely teased me because it felt so incredibly familiar. "Dr. Feelgood (Love Is a Serious Business)" made me feel incredibly good just listening to it. I have a long, deeply personal history with "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man," so hearing it in this context hit heavy. As for "A Change Is Gonna Come", well, I won't be listening to Sam Cooke's version anymore because I found a better one right here. I could say so much more about this LP, but a 5/5 is the maximum score I can officially give. Easily a 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, the absolute BEST RECORD.

Good album. Such soulful and storytelling vocals.

Beautiful sounding album. I didn't mind the backing vocals like some people seemed to. Not all the songs are absolute bangers.

5/5 and nothing less. This woman can SING.

As I am listening to this record the first rainfall in a few weeks is hitting ground. The air is filled with the musky smell of petrichor as the ground sucks in the much needed moisture. It is a smell that puts me at ease for as long as I've lived. This record is like that smell. It is soul. 5/5

Aretha Franklin remains an absolute institution in music for a reason. Her music keeps feeling like a warm blanket, a safe space. Even if this isn't the music I'll normally put up, I cannot deny that it is actually great music, and I love listening to it from time to time.

Well, classic

Aretha Franklin could probably sing the telephone directory and I'd listen intently to every note. Respect is a track of outstanding quality and sets the bar high for the rest of the album, but a couple of times listening to the whole album reveals the depth and range of Aretha Franklin's talent. This is an album that showcases her abilities at a consistently high level of quality. Not all of the songs are fantastic but her interpretation of them always is.

Each song is packed with so much soul. It's always an absolute pleasure to listen to anything by Aretha Franklin, and this is arguably one of her greatest releases.

Ain’t nobody got more soul than the queen of soul

Gotta love aretha

Maybe not an everyday listen

Great smooth jazz classics

Amazingly strong and iconic voice. Its big instrumentation pulls it all together. Dr. Feelgood sure was steamy.

I can respect music like this, but I don't think it's entirely for me. Still, songs like 'Don't let me lose this dream' are pretty timeless. Very influential album by a very influential artist.

Love Respect and a few of the other songs. You need to be in the right mood for this album. Would listen again

Excellent. I'm not really an expert when it comes to this style but I enjoyed this one a lot. It's either 4 or 5 stars. I liked "Respect" and "A change is gonna come".

👍i remember my oarents*

Gotta love Aretha. In my opinion one of, if not the best vocalist to do it. Tempted to give it a 5, but a couple too many filler-ish songs to hit that. Some crazy bangers on this album though.

Oh yeah Aretha Franklin has a great voice but I've never sat down and listened to her I take it back, Aretha Franklin has a /fantastic/ voice.

A great soul album that I really enjoyed listening to. Respect and Good Times were probably the standout tracks to me, with some of the other songs maybe blending a little bit together. But no matter, put on a 60's soul playlist with Aretha, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, etc. and that will make for a good car ride or hanging out around the house with friends.

I never loved this kind of thing

Nobody sings like Aretha. The whole production and the musicians are top notch.

Heeeeeyyy the first track was in Driver San Francisco. Loved it.

I have “Lady Soul “and “Soul 69” and know the hits off of this one, but I’ve never actually heard this album as it was issued until now. All I can say is wow. After being miscast at Columbia as a jazz singer, she hits it out of the park on her debut album for Atlantic. Everything works here. Her incredibly soulful vocals sound ageless and timeless (and not like someone only in their late 20s), like this kind of music was exactly what she was meant to do. The backing vocals (two sisters plus Cissy Houston) are awesome. The backing musicians are sympathetic and funky. The songs are mostly great, with only a couple of weaker numbers, which she still delivers with authority. Makes you almost forget the great Otis Redding with her cover of “Respect”, which she just owns. Easy five stars for me.

Not my cup of tea but still good

The queen !

I'm not denying Aretha’s genius, just sayin' the album as a whole doesn’t sustain the brilliance of its best moments. Looking at the consistency, flow, and depth across all tracks, it falls short of the masterpiece status it’s often given. 2/5 here doesn’t mean “bad” it just means there are a few transcendent highs surrounded by a lot of forgettable middles wrapped in a historically important but musically uneven package. I found it fairly repetitive and boring to be honest. Aretha’s greatness is unquestionable, but I Never Loved a Man feels more like a legendary single surrounded by a patchy album. I admire it — I just don’t love it. And sorry but I must join the small "great voice & love the crowd here, and appreciate the experience, but this is not an album I would look to add to my collection.

1. rezpect - 3 2. tearz - 2 3. man - 2 4. zoul - 3 5. dream - 1 6. baby - 1 7. feel - 3 8. good - 1 9. uuoman - 2 10. zave - 1 11. change - 3 12. rezpect - 3

Aretha the woman that you are...!! 3.75 rounded down to 3.

listened to again bonafide classic

Flawless

The album I got before this was late-stage Elvis, and one of the issues I had with it was that all the songs sounded the same. Well, with the obvious and notable exception of Respect, most of these songs sound the same. And yet it's completely different. It's clear, it's dynamic, it's explosive, it buries into your soul and lifts you up, it's tremendous.

Previously known. Chef's kiss.

THE VOICE. So good. Didn't realize how much rock n' roll was built into this album but it was a pleasant surprise. You can tell why she's called one of the original divas. Highlights: Respect (ofc), Don't Let Me Lose This Dream

The queen of R&B. Me lo he escuchado 2 veces seguidas y es una gozada histórica, conocía represent que es la mas famosa del disco pero es que las demás siguen el nivel. 9,5 y me la pela.

Not my normal kind of music, but this was nice. A good one for dinner

Incredible talent and an incredible vocalist. This a 4.5 for me only because it's not something I would listen to if not for this challenge but I have to acknowledge what a banger of an album it is objectively.

Respect is a canonical song of the modern civil rights moment. Franklin’s voice and legacy are nearly unrivaled. She’s the queen of soul for a reason. In no world is this anything less than a 5 to me.

Respect alone could make this a 5, but Good Times, Soul Serenade, and Do Right Woman, Do Right Man are excellent songs that I hadn’t heard before. Aretha is a legend, and this is a great sampling of her work.

amazing

It's massive. Changed my regular tune up

God she can sing. There are 2 absolute lifetime bangers on here, (Respect + the title track) but the album collectively didnt speak to my soul past a 3.5/5 so have rounded down to 3

Better than Coldplay

Sweet

Divine

(7/7) soulful

Aretha the Queen of Soul, I had never listened to this all the way through this album was great. 4+ rounded to 5.

What a great album - first time I've heard this album in its entirety. It's criminal that Columbia Records really didn't know what to do with Aretha Franklin.

Aretha is fantastic and this is a great album, not perfect -- more like a 4.5 for me.

vocals. amazing. classic.

Respect

Knew Respect. Don’t really know any other music from this genre and era.

oooohw.... okay Aretha.. Nunca había escuchado este disco completo, empezo con RESPECT y dije: oh of course i know this song, pero luego con Drowning in my own tears... woooow que rico y que triste. I never loved a man... wow todo.... que bailable tanta devoción a un onvre. Soul serenade: que manera de empezar una canción... omg. Creo que cada canción esta encajando perfecto...! Disfrute mucho este disco, guardado mil veces.

Sooo good. Loved this one.

Favorite Track: Respect

What an very enjoyable couple days with vintage Aretha followed by the Stooges! Thanks to this list, my appreciation for Aretha Franklin just continues to grow. Oh how I wish music retuned to the days you can actually feel the music in your heart and soul. She has one of the most beautiful and soothing voices I have heard. Put this on during a stressful day and you can't help but smile. Absolutely loved this album and all the music that followed on my Spotify. 4

4 Queen stays queen. I can’t say that this moved me quite like Lady Soul did, but hell, few albums probably could. Something about the songwriting/production here felt just a touch more “pop” in comparison, which I didn’t necessarily find to be a bad thing, but it provided for a slightly different Aretha experience, one I still thoroughly enjoyed but didn’t take to quite as strongly. That said, it resulted in the most important song of not just her career, but arguably in all of music; one I’m aware that she didn’t write or even record first (shoutout to Otis), but one she made entirely hers nonetheless. It feels unnecessary to clarify which I’m referring to here, however, it deserves a name drop: Baby, Baby, Baby. Jokes. It’s Respect. Obviously. The song will turn 60 years old next year, and honestly, has there been a better pop tune since? Rolling Stone once even named it the single best song of all-time, and while I wouldn’t go as far as to rank it as such on a personal list, it’s hard to deny that title from an objective point of view. Like, honestly, is there anyone out there that’s not a fan? Everytime I heard it here, I couldn’t help but feel that it could go on so, so much longer than its 2.5 minute runtime. I mean, come on, we’ve all heard the song, what else is there to say? It’s a masterclass in the art of soul just as much as it is a fun, danceable tune. As the opening track on the album, it’s obviously a very tough act to follow, and while I’d be lying if I said that high is reached again, everything else here is certainly worth a listen. Some tracks are a bit more engaging than others, but one thing is for sure, Aretha was certainly never phoning it in at any given moment. Favorites of mine included the title track, Drown in My Own Tears, Do Right Woman, Do Right Man, Dr. Feelgood (didn’t know Motley Crue nabbed the phrase from her), and cover of Sam Cooke’s A Change is Gonna Come. I always find it incredibly powerful when Aretha performs her take on a contemporary social justice anthem, though once again, I can’t say this struck me quite the same way People Get Ready did on Lady Soul - still a great song, though. Aretha is always a great time, and this album is certainly deserving of all the praise, but all in all, Lady Soul is definitely the superior release in my eyes. Still, I can’t say Aretha ever missed here nor on any other work of hers I’ve heard. Album score is a 4, but artist score is definitely a 5 from me.

What a set of pipes. Really lovely soul vibes with great playing playing throughout. I expected this to be "Respect and other songs" but every track slapped. Might have to pick this up on vinyl

What a voice, not heard much from her before but how can I argue against this? Great stuff, real voice, real soul. I can’t give it five, it’s just not really my style. 4/5.

Aretha at it again. High energy, full of power and grace. Starting off with RESPECT gives into a rollercoaster of emotion anchored by aretha's voice, really the center of the record. On repeat forever

favs: drown in my own tears i never loved a man dr feelgood do right woman, do right man a change is gonna come

Mooi. En wat een stem. Tegelijk weet ik niet of dit album vaak ga beluisteren. Het is ook wel heftig allemaal. Ik denk wel eens: nu is het tijd voor een ballad of iets. Maar bijna alles is intens. Vol overgave. Misschien iets voor wanneer je met iets bezig bent in huis.

Aretha Franklin is gewoon beter dan iedereen. De stem de piano, iedereen verbleekt bij haar. Het is ook wel de tijd maar als album kan het wel beter. Zitten best wat covers op en productioneel komt net wat te kort.

Er is niet veel slechts wat je over dit album kan zeggen. Dit is het doorbraakalbum van Aretha Franklin en je hoort eigenlijk direct waarom zij zo’n iconische zangeres is geworden. De stem is er helemaal, alleen vind ik de songs op latere albums persoonlijk nog net wat sterker. Albums als Aretha Now, met onder andere I Say a Little Prayer, en Lady Soul, met (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, hitten mij gewoon harder. Daar valt alles voor mijn gevoel nog beter samen. Verder heb ik eigenlijk alleen maar lof voor Aretha als artiest. Haar impact op muziek is gigantisch en daardoor is het ook lastig om zo’n album alleen op persoonlijke smaak te beoordelen. Het album gaat waarschijnlijk geen vaste plek krijgen in mijn luisterrotatie, maar ik ben me er wel bewust van hoe belangrijk dit is geweest. Ik twijfelde tussen een 3,5 en een 4, maar ik rond hem toch af naar 4 sterren.

Just the Queen of Soul taking care of business.

Kule sanger

Her tenth album. Soul. The opening track is one of the all time famous songs and a real attention grabber right from the get go. The vocals throughout are incredible. The backing singers and the musicians get overpowered by this force of nature.

Urethra Franklin my goat

An absolute joy! A masterpiece!

A really good 60s soul album

Es un mood, para cocinar, de fondo y flashear peli

Big voice, average choons.

Fun 60s album, doesnt really fit into any of my playlists but the singer is very talented!

Vulnerable expressive vocals-commanding the instrumentals with her presence Definitive voice for woman commanding respect

Save Me and Good Times were good, everything else was kinda meh. Not sure I'm a fan.

i mean its aretha

oh i listened to this hours ago and didn’t take any notes. it was nice, i liked it. second aretha album. yayyy

Beautiful voice, iconic songs. It didn't do much for me in terms of connecting with the songs, but I liked it enough and was glad to listen to one of her albums all the way through.

All time classic, no bad tracks

Great voice, great groove, everything…

really good album. i love these kind of old music. her voice is really amazing. couldnt find a specific song i would listen over and over again. 6,5/10 i would definitely give it another try someday.

i was semi familiar with Mrs. Franklin before, but i don't think i've ever sat down and listened to an album of hers properly. now that i have it's not a surprise to me that she's called the "Queen of Soul." crazy good voice! hitting myself for not doing this sooner to be honest. 8.5/10 FAVOURITE SONGS: RESPECT, DON'T LET ME LOSE THIS DREAM, DR. FEELGOOD (LOVE IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS,) GOOD TIMES, A CHANGE IS GONNA COME LEAST FAVOURITE SONGS: I'M GONNA BE HONEST I DON'T REALLY HAVE ONE I THINK THEY ALL SOUND PRETTY NICE

too album

Jamais écouté avant Rien que pour "Respect", et la performance vocale époustouflante d'Aretha Franklin, et album mérite sa place dans l'histoire. Son principal défaut ? Après avoir atteint de tels sommets en ouverture, le reste de la tracklist a bien du mal à s'imposer, au point de finir par sembler un peu secondaire... Top : Respect Flop : Baby, Baby, Baby

Just an unreal voice. It’s like she couldn’t miss a note if she tried. Her ability to flex her voice as a trained muscle blows me away. She can be in a speaking voice delivery and the jump an octave with serious conviction, all instantaneously. I really liked the bossa nova & soul crossover on “Dont Let Me Lose This Dream”. I’m not sure the material on the Shaft soundtrack did that genre fusion as well as Aretha did here. I went through this whole album in such awe of her voice that it was hard to critically think about much else. I don’t know if there’s been a project on this list in recent memory where the vocal talent has single-handed my carried it to greatness. The song material isn’t bad, there’s enough variation in composition, but it’s all about Aretha Franklins performance. 4/5

Put some R-E-S-P-E-C-T on Aretha's name. I enjoyed Lady Soul more, but I mean. It's Aretha Franklin. Of course the album is great.

Perfect. No notes.

That was a great listen. Would I choose to listen to this whole album again? Nope. Would I mind if someone put it on? Not in the slightest. 4/5

Das orginal Album hat leider einen Sound der Aretha nicht gerecht wird

Good stuff

Pretty good

I could listen to this any time. Franklin’s voice along with beautiful instrumentals provided for a soothing listening experience.

Me gustaría que me gustara más pero no fui fan :(

No conocía a esta artista. No reconozco bien el género. Me gusta de fondo. Pero nada wow. 6/10

Baustelle, Gerstetten, Deutschland. Sehr tolles Album!

Could listen all day.

Almost gave it a 5 but there 2 or 3 songs that felt a lil undercooked musically. But other than that this is a total stunner, so badass

Some generational stuff on here

This gets 5 stars for Aretha’s voice and it being her breakthrough record. As far as albums go as a whole however, not all the songs feel inspired and the production lacks polis. Because of that, this isn’t an album that pulls me back in. But there is no denying that Aretha is one of the best singers of all time and she came strong on this record with her performances.

really quality stuff. her voice is beautiful, makes me feel empowered. one star off tho bc i cannot ever see myself coming back to it unfortunately but i respect it immensely.

exquisito soul

Respect as the first track kicks it off at a high. Then it's almost just downwards after that. Found myself bobbing along all through it but not really connect to it in the sense I'm looking for. A bit lacking in diversity between the tracks. And, for me, Sam Cooks' original version of "A change is gonna come" can not be topped as a 10.

Feeling out of it while hacking. Not my usual but she's certainly talented.

I mean...

Good

🪻honestly just not a big fan of oldies.

Det er jo bare et album fyldt med bangerz. Og ja, vi får lov til at lytte til lidt dejlig orgel! Aretha - det bliver 4 velfortjente stjerner

Det er høj klasse. Lyrikken bliver til tider dog lidt banal.

Sikke nogle lunger

*76 Ikke min go to fortolker i denne genre, men hun leverer alt det, hun skal. En fortjent 4’er herfra.

not my style, men det er lækkert at lytte til lægger ekstremt godt ud, og derefter bliver jeg lidt tabt. 3.5

Respect is an all timer but not really by type of music.

This music will last for a thousand years. Because it was made from the Soul. It came from the depths of the Earth. From hardship. From somewhere that most people can’t understand. It’s real life magic.

Respect - 5 Drown in my own tears - 3 I never loved a man (the way i love you) - 4 Soul serenade - 4 Don't let me lose this dream - 3 Baby, baby, baby - 3 Dr. feelgood (love is a serious business) - 3 Good times - 3 Do right woman, do right man - 4 Save me - 4 A change is gonna come - 5

Excelente de inicio a fin, para escuchar mientras te duchas o tomas un vino. Apto para cualquier ocasión.

decent one not my cup of tea but i love it

This is indeed the birth of cool

Astonishing

A beautiful album with some occasionally truthful lyrics that really struck a chord in my heart.

This and a walk in the city on a sunny day.

It’s Aretha. Show some respect.

3/5

It was good

When it starts with RESPECT you know you're in for a good time ! Overall jazzy and smooth mood, great vocals. I have to admit I had higher expectations, it's hard to tell songs apart after the first one... I read in a review about how in this era songs were often sung by many artists, I felt that heavily as this seems more like a showcase of an amazing voice rather than particularly great songs or lyrics. Cover : Pretty, I like the cool font

I don't know, I feel I have to love it and respect(!) it more than I actually do. It's nice as a sort of proto pop record, but there's not a lot of bite or pizzazz, and there isn't any riveting musicality apart from Franklin's singing (which I find to be good-sometimes-great and a bit overrated as controversial as it sounds). I'm also not too keen on a record full of covers. That might be a strength though - I don't expect anyone being very much upset with listening to this record. I'll also say the mix could've been done differently and perhaps better. I hate using decimal points in reviews but just to contextualize this is like a 2.51/5 album for me, so I'm only just marginally leaning more towards a higher than a lower grade, hence the 3.

Un classique d'Aretha Franklin, surtout Respect! J'ai bien aimé Don't lose this dream et A change is gonna come++ Il s'agit la d'un très belle album du R&B, chantée par une illustre artiste. Les ton jazzy sont super cool par ailleurs et rappel bien les US des années 60.

Just an album full of greatness! Show some "Respect" and give the Queen of Soul the 5 stars she deserves

If I say what I think, I'll be suspended for six months. Everyone loves respect, both the song on this album as well as the concept. That's the one song I knew before going into this record. And of course I love it, who doesn't? It's a beautiful song. This record is full of beautiful songs, favorites of mine being Respect, the titular track, as well as Dr. Feelgood. That song made me laugh out loud, when she starts talking about how she doesn't have as much time for socializing, she's got to get back to her...appointment. Other than that, unfortunately, I wasn't too keen on this record. Some people said it's too slow, and that's an assessment I generally agree with. But more than that, I found it predictable. I was hoping that this record took more chances, either vocally or instrumentally. Maybe I've been spoiled by some of the other soul I've listened to, like that 12-minute epic Walk On By from Isaac Hayes. But I found myself hoping that more songs here surprised. It's pleasant, don't get me wrong, but I just didn't find it exciting like I wanted. Maybe it's because I listened on the drive to work, and I could barely keep my eyes open. I was hoping something would jolt me awake.

I am on a very good run at the moment. Another great album. What else can I say about Aretha’s voice that hasn’t already been said. It is like butter. So smooth and powerful and a joy to listen too. Favourites here were Respect and Dr. Feelgood

She has an incredible voice and Respect is clearly a classic but I felt this was a bit disappointing. There were too many instances where there was so much embellishment to the melody that it ceased to be the melody that was actually written. This meant the songs lacked a repetitive base to build on. This trend for over-singing has continued with various other vocal powerhouses who would benefit from reining it in a bit.

A stunning voice, and an album That just doesn’t let up throughout. Respect is obviously a classic but I was surprised with the quality of the entirety of the album and that there were not more celebrated releases from it as it was such high standard. Some great musicianship from the backing band made it soulful and funky in equal measure. Has left a huge legacy on the music that followed and so undoubtedly an important milestone in the context of female and black artists.

r.e.s.p.e.c.t

Absolute legend with a world class voice, just not my bag. However, an absolute talent that will never be replicated

Her voice is just so good like damn Faves: Respect obviously A Change is Gonna Come

596/1001 2026.04.20

What keeps this album from perfection? Like many soul records of the 1960s, Franklin was compelled to throw in cover of R&B standards like "Good Times", which while pleasing are far from the high stakes battles in the ballads, and lack the rocket fuel of the albums justly famous upbeat numbers. When the oft-recorded "standards" match Franklin's talent , such as "Drown in My Own Tears" and "A Change Is Gonna Come", she excels at carving out unique and personalized versions. With small criticism out of the way, this album falls squarely in my top 20 of all-time, and given the day cracks the top 10. Praising Aretha's singing is a waste of space as you will just end up stating that she was the greatest of all-time; case closed. Having just praised the use of back-up vocals on other records, it must be said that Franklin's sisters, Erma and Carolyn, and Cissy Houston provide the most famous support in pop music history. It takes a singer of Aretha's caliber to match, let alone, outshine them. The band has too many stellar moments to name here. First, and foremost, Aretha's piano playing looms large, pushing the tracks in a harder direction, which allows Spooner Oldham's electric piano to become the groovy, dark element that the songs require. The arrangements keep the horns from becoming too intrusive as they color rather than overwhelm most tunes, with King Curtis' solo on "Respect" being another reason it ranks among the greatest songs ever recorded. Like all superb records, the deeper cuts raise "I Never Loved a Man" to its exalted status. While not completely unknown, the title track and "Dr. Feelgood" best exhibit the combination of Franklin's piano playing and singing, boosted by Oldham's and the back-up singers' contributions. "Save Me" somehow never got the attention it deserved. Nearly as funky as Franklin's later monster groove song, "Rock Steady", it is a quintessential piece of stripped down R&B. The rhythm section sticks to the simple chords in relentless fashion pushing Franklin, and just her, no back-up singers, to epic heights. The lyrics lack the poetry of "Respect" and "Natural Woman," but Franklin sends them soaring as she pulls out her full arsenal of vocal skills to challenge the gritty instrumental underneath her.

One of the easiest listens. Could throw this on at any time and be into. Fits any occasion. Best time: listening while baking baklava. Plan upon return.

Incredible!!! No wonder she is the Queen of soul!!

La verdad que se me hace difícil poder puntuar este álbum porque no es mi estilo de música. Igual hay un par de canciones que me hacen querer volver el tiempo atrás y poder disfrutar de este tipo de música.

Not just the Queen of Soul, but the Queen, full stop. Possibly the greatest voice ever recorded, plus some absolutely incredible songs, equals an all-time great record.

Starts with a bona fuse classic but very quickly loses steam. No questioning her voice but each song sounds like the one before and I found myself bored very very quickly. 3.5⭐️

🫅

Aretha Franklin has a really moving voice. This album makes me feel like a woman.

Everyone says she has an incredible voice. And she does I suppose. But the music on this album doesn't really do anything for me. It's pleasant. And a recognise the talent. But <shrugs>.

Favourite Songs: Respect Good Times Save Me

I try to listen to these albums a couple of times. And it just so happens that I have listened to this album three times today. And for some reason, the biggest hit on this album "Respect" is featured twice. So I have listened to it six times today, and it still sounds good. That is some seriously good songwriting and talent! Aretha Franklin is, in my opinion one of the very best female vocalists of all time. And while soul/gospel is not my absolute favorite style of music, I have a lot of time for it and do enjoy it a lot. This album has three key sounds: background organ, foreground piano and queen of it all Aretha's vocals. A classic that I will listen to again. (4.000)

This album! Everything! All of it!! Ms Franklin, the musicians, Duane Allman, Tom Dowd, The songs! It's all pure perfection!

Respect being the first track on this thing and it maintaining that quality throughout makes this an all-timer.

Amazing that she was only 24 when she recorded this.

I’ve Never Loved a Man The Way I Love You A fantastic 32 minutes of archetypal late 60s soul, a great combination of the upbeat; Respect, Good Times, Save Me (it always sounds to me like she sings ‘shave me’ in the opening line), slower burns; Drown in My Own Tears, Baby, Baby, Baby, Do Right Woman, Do Right Man as well as the soulful title track, Soul Serenade, the Bacharachian Don’t Let Me Lose This Dream, the fantastic Dr Feelgood and an excellent version of A Change is Gonna Come The vocals are of course excellent, but the song choice really is superb, each song suiting a different facet of her voice. And the playing, particularly the piano, keys and bass (Tommy Cogbill again) is never less than stellar, all wrapped up in a fantastic sound and production. If this was recorded a few years earlier I’m not sure it would sound as good as it does today. A brilliant album. 5. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 Playlist submission: Dr Feelgood

Rare does a Stax, Atlantic, Motown artist have a great album in the 50s and 60s (from what I've heard). They are all about the singles, and albums that are often full of tiresome covers. Here, not only does Aretha have a hand in writing a few, but most covers are given a new lease of life. Otis's 'Respect' is flip-reversed lyrically, and turned into a pounding classic setting the blueprint for soup/pop/dance crossovers forever. I also sense a massive influence on Stevie Wonder's 70s output - 'Don't Lose This Dream' like his salsa inspired keys-led ballads (e.g. Don't You Worry bout a Thing'), amongst others. You can hear Aretha's voice popping off the mic at times; it reveals the lack of post-production on her grittily exemplary vocal, and you know beyond doubt from these recordings she can do this live. Her voice soars in most tracks, and lifts even the more average numbers. Overall it's a stonking album, eminently listenable on repeat, and full of sublime musical and vocal touches.

hermoso. balanceado. una voz inigualable

Aretha the woman you are. I really enjoyed this.

Fantastic record. Title song is great

me gusto pero le tenia mucha fe pq me sonaba la artista y creo que es importante en la musica, y no me gusto tanto tanto 7/10

Dikke slay

Un clásico de todos los tiempos, muy buena cantante. Da vibes para escuchar un domino en la tarde y alegrarse

Just absolutely iconic. Franklin's voice is absolutely stunning as the centerpiece of this album. Each song has so much soul and heart. "Respect" being her legacy is so earned.

Undoubtedly one of the best albums on this list. Preach, Ms. Franklin, she takes us to church. (First time listen and I’m buying the album)

Very powerful voice.

not what i usually listen but it was suprisingly good. great lyrics and loved the instruments.

This record made me understand how soul is the "secular" form of gospel music. The songs are slower than "Lady Soul" which lets Aretha's emotive signing shine through.

Some great grooves here and some beautiful songs with vocals that are hard to beat. A little low on variety or innovation. Favorite songs: Respect, Save Me, and A Change is Gonna Come

Some magazine ranked "Respect" number 1 on The Best Songs Ever chart. "Respect" is truly funky, and the lyrics are beautifully written, but it is definitely not in the top 10 best songs ever. The other songs are mehhhh.

First time on a Aretha album and must say really impressed, really soulful and passionate, obviously what an an amazing voice and the album held my attention throughout and it has a decent replayability about it. 4.6/5.

Ask and you shall receive. Give Aretha an assignment and she shall deliver. A classic for very good reasons. Concise album where each song is a standalone. I hadn’t realised how many of the songs I didn’t know have been used in recent house music. Do Right Woman, Do Right Man will remain in my head for the rest of the day

queen

loved it, never gave enough attention to Aretha, i saved some of these songs

Aretha Franklin electrifies everything and plays with tender melodies like she's holding a baby.

It's fine. Not my style of music.

1. Respect - интересная инфа с инета: стала не только хитом №1 в США, но и гимном феминизма и борьбы за гражданские права. Хотя автором композиции является Отис Реддинг, именно версия Франклин приобрела культовый статус. ваау, круто реально. и смысл классный. 2. Drown in My Own Tears - неплохая, про одиночество , слезы и просьбу вернуться домой. 3. I Never Loved a Man - про больную привязанность. Альбом прикольный , песни в основном про то, что уважение важнее страсти. в целом альбом про самоуважение, за что респект.

One of the most iconic songs of all time, followed by 13 of the most middling songs of all time

I’ve heard this before and I own it. First of all, I love this era of soul and Aretha Franklin especially. This album is so loaded up with classics and bangers it’s almost like a greatest hits collection. The version I have has the stereo version of Respect, I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You, and Do Right Woman added at the end that messes with the overall trajectory of the album since A Change Is Gonna Come is a great closing track, but I don’t mind hearing these ones again. Aretha took an already great Otis Redding song that’s just basically saying “don’t nag me when I get home from work” and turns it into a classic women’s liberation anthem to start off the record, and that sets the tone for the rest of the album so that it comes across as a declaration of independence. Maybe I am overblowing it. Needless to say I love this album.

Brilliant when it's brilliant, but with slack moments

We don't need to put R-E-S-P-E-C-T on her name. She's already regarded as one of if not the greatest vocalist of the twentieth century. Her uncanny power comes from the fact that she's as effortless as Sam Cooke & just as effortful as Otis Redding. In other words, she renders the act of trying an easy-breezy task: giving your all, & straining as you do, has never been so smooth or so simple. Aretha's only weakness as an artist is that she didn't always know how to curate a record. That is, her song selection could fall short. W/ this classic, however, she never misses. My favorites are 'Baby, Baby, Baby' & 'Do Right Woman, Do Right Man,' but you can't go wrong w/ any cut here. The quintessence of vocal talent is & will always be Aretha.

She is just such a diva Went back and listened to the title track twice A change is gonna come gave me full body chills

3/5

oro puro

I think this would have been nice if I hadn't listened to so much gospel before. I prolly need to lock in with the lyrics in front of me at some point. The IB econ IA lockin is real. Needa finish these by tmr!!! Dadidou trippin.

Classic, for all the right reasons.

I hadn’t really listened to any Aretha in years, this was an excellent reminder of why she is the Queen of Soul

This is embarrassing but I’ve only heard Respect before- god I was missing out. The talent, the love, the romance??? Amazing.

Solid lounging music, nice serenades with a bit of subtle oomph behind them

Respect is obviously a classic but I really enjoyed this whole album - perfect for enjoying some strawberry lemonade outside in the sun and listening to the train go by in the distance. I think the titular song is my fav it just has fantastic instrumentals and vocals.

All time fave for me

Amazing soulful voice!

UN POCO DE JAZZ CON RPEDOMINANCIA DE BLUES CLASICO QUE NUNCA FALLA, SI A ESO LE SUMAS LA VOZ DE FRANKLIN TENES UN TREMNDO DISCO

Amazing. Timeless

5/10

INCREIBLE

Respect

R-E-S-P-E-C-T Great soulful album. Really enjoyed. 8.5/10 Not a 10/10 because while the album is timeless, the music is of its time and I cannot always find myself in the mood to listen to this.

Me encantó súper instrumental y la voz de ella es hermosísima

Bastante mid no lo termine

pre listening: now you know imma lose myself in the beauty of this. 1967. 1: Well-known and wonderful song.

Such a powerful voice. I like the blend of the guitar and the jazz sounds in some songs. The ones that stood out to me the most were Save Me, Drown In My Own Tears, and the single with the same title as the ablum. Every song was a banger, and they did really make me wanna dance. Also, I may be hallucinating but I think Simply Red sounds a bit like this.

Really loved this one. Thought it wouldn’t build well after respect but it does a good job of drawing you in throughout

RESPECT is the ABSOLUTE PHRASE for the Queen 💐🙏🏻🥂

5/10

i guess classic for a reason

Probably a classic but not my type

Fav- respect 3/5

9/10

Amazing vocals and really good brass and piano playing. Easy listening and enjoyable to do so.

Solid album. Standout songs: Soul Serenade Dr Feelgood A Change is Gonna Come

I love Aretha. This album was amazing, zero skips no notes

Feels like cheating to get this at the start. Obviously an amazing voice. Oddly more depth to the album as a whole than expected but having said that, stays very much on its theme. But its a classic, one of THE defining records of its genre. Respect makes it a 5 alone.

I find the production more outdated than Lady Soul, but I can’t deny the vocals again.

Det är inte bara Respect, utan ett knippe riktigt bra låtar och en fantastisk röst. En femma

not bad at all, i love the rnb sounds that is in the album. i love the references to otis redding too as i read the description and i can tell that its inspired. Really good pacing and feel of the instrumental. Aretha sang her heart out and i love it, 8/10

3.5/5

Lekker wel! Geweldige stem natuurlijk, en zaten wat hidden gems tussen. Niet helemaal mijn ding, maar kan ook aan mijn stemming liggen. Is denk ik meer een avond voor 's avonds ipv overdag. Beste: Baby, baby, baby. Do right woman, Do right man.

it was fine.. not really my type but vocals were great.

Beautiful soul music, felt like a warm hug and just what I needed today Her voice is incredibly rich and toned

Takes me to a jazz club in the 60-70s. 7/10

Det var väldigt Aretha Franklin. Lyssnade iofsg inte så djupt, men det mesta jag hörde kändes som kärlekssånger. Hon är jävligt duktig men jag älskar ju inte generic kärlekslåtar och det var så det kändes. Inte min typ av musik
