Listen to Aretha’s cover of Adele’s ‘Rolling In The Deep’
By Josh Haggis
Aretha Franklin has unveiled a ridiculously fierce cover of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep.
The Queen of Soul tackles Adele’s 2010 hit as a mash-up with the Motown classic Ain’t No Mountain High Enough – listen to it below.
The cover is taken from Franklin’s forthcoming album Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics, which finds the 72-year-old diva covering classic songs from female artists including Chaka Khan’s I’m Every Woman and Barbra Streisand’s People.
Franklin has worked with R&B producer Babyface on the album, as well as legendary music boss Clive Davis. Her last album, Aretha: A Woman Falling Out of Love, was released in 2011.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, Franklin made waves online when a GIF in which she appeared to snub fellow diva Patti Labelle went viral – watch it here.
