Her cover of “(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman” from upcoming Respect Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Further increasing excitement for her portrayal of Aretha Franklin in Respect, Academy Award-winning actress and GRAMMY Award-winning recording artist Jennifer Hudson releases “(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman.” The song marks the first taste of 17 Aretha classics featured on Respect: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
Earlier this week, Hudson graced the cover of InStyle Magazine diving into details about her upcoming role in the movie.
She set the stage for the soundtrack with the new original “Here I Am (Singing My Way Home)” — co-written with 4x GRAMMY Award winner, Kennedy Center Honoree, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame Inductee Carole King (marking their first collaboration) and Jamie Hartman [Lewis Capaldi, Christina Aguilera]. GRAMMY Award-winning Black Eyed Peas co-founder and mega-producer will.i.am produced the track.
Hudson was notably handpicked by Franklin to portray her in the film from MGM, which opens in theaters nationwide on August 13th. The soundtrack will be available on the same day.
