Could it be that her long awaited album ARETHA: A WOMAN FALLING OUT OF LOVE, will finally be released in April on her own label, Aretha Records.
(It has been 7 years since her last secular release - SO DAMN HAPPY on Arista).
She says she wants total control...LOL, truth be told a few majors rejected her royal highness/divaish demands. In this interview I found it sad that she has no interest in recording a soul album per se`.

I read somewhere that Billy Dee Williams will be feature in one of the songs?

Ol' Reefa is still throwing the pussy at him, I see

Still, I'm READY for a new auntie album loved So Damn Happy, and kudos for her for taking control.

I loved So Damn Happy too. I was mad the way Arista and LA Reid let that album just fall by the waste side.

And, I agree- she should have total control. I don't know why more artists, who have been in the game for 20 and 30 years, won't do the same thing.
