Aretha (song)

Produced by award-winning UK TV and musical composer Steve Brown, it is the second single to be released from her debut album Seasons of My Soul.

[3] In an interview with Digital Spy she was asked to describe her single: "It's a very soulful ballad about a little girl who goes to school listening to Aretha Franklin on her headphones.

She's having trouble at school and her mother's suffering from mental illness and she hasn't got anyone to talk to, but Aretha Franklin comes to life and encourages her and speaks to her through her imagination."

There's an incredible amount of passion and heartbreak in her voice as she's lost a lot of family members.

"[4] Robert Copsey of Digital Spy described some lines as "unnvervingly honest" sung with Rumer's "smouldering tones".
