The new Roberta Flack collection, WITH HER SONGS: THE ATLANTIC ALBUMS, 1969–1978, is the first retrospective release since the GRAMMY® Award-winning singer passed away in 2025. A celebration of her acclaimed tenure with Atlantic Records, the 8CD set presents newly remastered versions of her first eight studio albums. 

WITH HER SONGS spans Flack’s Atlantic debut First Take through her self-titled 1978 album, covering a period when she emerged as one of the most commercially and critically successful artists of the 1970s. She was the first solo artist to win the GRAMMY® Award for Record of the Year in consecutive years, for “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” (1973) and “Killing Me Softly With His Song” (1974). Flack recorded multiple Top 40 hits and sold millions of albums with the label, building a catalog that moved fluidly between soul, jazz, folk, and pop.

WITH HER SONGS includes eight newly remastered studio albums: FIRST TAKE (1969), CHAPTER TWO (1970), QUIET FIRE (1971), ROBERTA FLACK & DONNY HATHAWAY (1972), KILLING ME SOFTLY (1973), FEEL LIKE MAKIN’ LOVE (1975), BLUE LIGHTS IN THE BASEMENT (1977), and ROBERTA FLACK (1978).

Together, they chart a sustained period of creative momentum, from the intimacy of FIRST TAKE and CHAPTER TWO to Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway, a landmark collaboration that produced the GRAMMY®-winning hits “Where Is the Love” and “The Closer I Get to You.” That success continued with her next two albums, KILLING ME SOFTLY and FEEL LIKE MAKIN’ LOVE, whose title tracks both went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. More hits followed as her initial run with the label concluded with BLUE LIGHTS IN THE BASEMENT and ROBERTA FLACK.

WITH HER SONGS follows renewed activity around Flack’s catalog, including last year’s release of KILLING ME SOFTLY and FEEL LIKE MAKIN’ LOVE in Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio.
