Aretha Franklin will record with Andre 3000 on her upcoming covers album.
She tells that she has five songs completed with the help of several big names, including Babyface and Daryl Simmons.
"I'm pretty sure it's going to be fun working with Andre 3000, just watching his videos and things," Franklin says.
"It should be fun. And, of course, they all come with great music, so I expect that."
Among songs recorded by Franklin so far are Gladys Knight & the Pips' "Midnight Train to Georgia,"
Barbra Streisand's "People," Donna Summer's "Last Dance" and Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It."
Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" is the next song to be covered.
"I love all of them, the original versions," says Franklin of the songs.
The album is due sometime in September.
