Seven Year Itch is the fifteenth studio album by Etta James, released in 1988 by Island Records.[1] The title of the album refers to her comeback after approximately seven years without a major recording contract.[2] The album was described as "the first in her career to consistently capture the magic of James at her live best,"[3] while "her voice stretches out with more sureness and authority than ever."[2]
