"On her first set since '03, Flack interprets Beatles songs with subtle touches of R&B, funk, jazz, hip-hop and Afro pop, still killing you softly."
The inimitable Roberta Flack returns with a brand new single, "We Can Work It Out", exclusively available on itunes. As a four-time Grammy Award-winning artist, Roberta has effortlessly inhabited the worlds of pop, soul, R&B, jazz, and folk. From early recordings like "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "Killing Me Softly" to more recent smashes like "Set The Night To Music", Roberta continues to be a powerful musical force.
Back in the spotlight after performing a memorable duet with Maxwell at the 2010 Grammy Awards, Flack is putting the finishing touches on her new album - her first in over 8 years. Slated for release in early 2012, the album will feature both the new single along with Roberta's unique interpretations of Beatles songs.
"Flack deserves a round of applause for not merely sauntering through these staples as-is, but rather bravely reinventing them, lovingly deconstructing them then rebuilding them in smooth modernity, retaining enough of the original melodies to keep them familiar but otherwise toying with their every nuance."
