There is only one songstress with the authority to declare “I’m back bitches”, and it ain’t Britney Spears. It's been a more than a minute (4 years) since the Queen of Soul has released a new album. And if the lead single a duet with Fantasia Barrino "Put You Up On Game" is any indication of what's to come, then baby, it was worth the wait. Talk about grown folks music Aretha Franklin's 'Jewels In The Crown', is an album of duets with a mind blowing list of Who's Who, an line up only a bonafide Queen could summon to her beck and call. Looks like Clive Davis sent out some 'GodFather' invites no one could refuse. Why do I believe this album is hit? Not one jewel Aretha chose to place in her crown can dance! Nope no bootylicious nonsense with the Queen
The final cut is a reprise of
Jewels In Ms. ReRe's Crown
1. Whitney Houston
2. Mary J. Blige
3. Mariah Carey
4. Fantasia Barrino
5. John Legend
6. Bonnie Raitt
7. Gloria Estefan
