Origin[]

Popularly referred to as “The Queen of Soul”, Aretha Franklin left a mark on pop, jazz and R&B with her intense voice and gospel upbringing. Throughout her meteoric rise to stardom beginning in the 1970s, Franklin has won 18 Grammys, sold over 75 million records and become the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Her renditions of the National Anthem and other important pieces have been performed at Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral services and the inaugurations of Presidents Carter, Clinton and Obama.

Effects[]

Shining the light upon a subject during a formal event instantly transforms them into a talented singer, displaying skills beyond their sum experiences. Every singular performance is meant to expose the artist’s inner self to audiences, without shame or worry. Meanwhile, every part of their vocal system becomes highly coordinated to allow fantastic feats of pitch and clarity.
