H.E.R. celebrates the legacy of the late Aretha Franklin on a sweet new tune titled “Let’s Get Away.”
Sampling the Queen of Soul’s 1972 hit “Day Dreaming,” from her Young, Gifted and Black album, the R&B newcomer sings about wanting someone to take her to the moon.
“We’ll miss you, Aretha Franklin,” tweeted H.E.R. on Thursday (Aug. 30).
We’ll miss you, Aretha Franklin. ❤️🕊

H.E.R. recently dropped I Used to Know Her: The Prelude — which features guest appearances from Bryson Tiller and DJ Scratch — as a holdover until she releases her much-anticipated debut album.
Aretha Franklin, who passed away on Aug. 16 at age 76 from pancreatic cancer, was laid to rest on Friday, August 31. The icon was celebrated in a six-hour sendoff that included musical tributes from Stevie Wonder, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, The Clark Sisters, Jennifer Holiday, Ariana Grande and more.
