From the article:

“Somebody To Love” is Aretha Franklin-influenced. Freddie’s very much into that. We tried to keep the track in a loose, gospel-type feel. I think it’s the loosest track we’ve ever done.

— Roger Taylor

I think he was pretty right on but the backing harmonies are pretty great too.

Yeah this is all over the internet but i thought what the hell, everyone needs to hear it.

In addition to Freddy I really like the harmonies.
