Aretha Franklin – This Girl’s In Love With You

Description

This Girl’s in Love with You, originally released in 1970, finds Aretha Franklin expanding her signature sound into new stylistic territory, gracefully blending soul, R&B, and pop with her unmatched vocal fire and emotional depth. The album includes a stirring interpretation of “Son of a Preacher Man”, the soulful original “Call Me”, and transformative covers of Beatles songs like “Let It Be” and “Eleanor Rigby”, which Aretha imbues with her characteristic gospel fervor and brilliance.

Recorded at the height of her Atlantic Records era, the album also features stellar session musicians from the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and the Memphis Horns, providing lush, dynamic arrangements around Franklin’s commanding presence. This EU reissue from Strongly Felt captures one of Aretha’s most versatile and confident performances—an essential document of her evolution as both a visionary interpreter and a cultural force.
