Through the Storm
| Aretha FranklinThrough the Storm
Through the Storm is the thirty-second studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin. It was released on April 27, 1989, by Arista Records. Despite the number 16 Billboard Hot 100 hit title track (a duet with Elton John), the album was not a commercial success; it reached number 55 on the Billboard 200. The follow-up single, "It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be", a duet with Whitney Houston, failed to make the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 41. Other guest artists included James Brown, The Four Tops and Kenny G. The album was remastered and re-released as an "Expanded Edition" in December 2014 by Funky Town Grooves, with bonus tracks and a second CD of material.-Wikipedia

Review Year: 1989 Or is Aretha just in one of her prolonged lazy slumps? The problem with Through the Storm is you can’t really tell.

Robert Christgau
Singing her ass off on some halfway decent tunes, the artist epitomizes genius.

But it turns out that even if you dig synths and drum machines you probably won't like the dull, repetitive grooves on "Mercy," "It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be" with Whitney Houston, or "Gimme Your Love" with James Brown
