See second paragraph from the Daptone Records newsletter:

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings
Soul of a Woman

Available November 17th, 2017

We are proud to announce Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings' final studio album, Soul of a Woman - a lush, orchestral masterpiece. A true testament to the life and career of Daptone's fearless leader and one of the world's greatest performers.

In the year prior to her death from pancreatic cancer in 2016, Sharon Jones toured and performed tirelessly, and was also the subject of Miss Sharon Jones!, an acclaimed documentary by Oscar-Winning director Barbara Kopple. Yet somehow, the beloved and heroic soul singer found time to complete a studio album. Soul of a Woman features eleven songs which reveal that the emotion, dynamics, and drama of Jones' voice remained at full power until her final days.

Watch the video for the new single, "Matter of Time" directed by Jeff Broadway & Cory Bailey.

Great to hear this, but at the same time to see her showing so much energy, and now being gone, sad stuff....
2996536, Really excited to get this but it'll be an emotional listen.
