NINA SIMONE Forbidden Fruit (Green Vinyl)

Nina's back, baby, and she's got a forbidden fruit in hand. This reissue of her 1961 album is a juicy treat for any music lover. The green vinyl adds a touch of class to an already iconic record.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in 1960s New York. Nina's voice is like smooth velvet, wrapping you up in its warmth and never letting go. She effortlessly moves between sultry ballads and fiery anthems, showcasing her range and power as a performer.

Tracks like "Rags and Old Iron" and "Gin House Blues" hit you right in the gut, while "Work Song" and "House of the Rising Sun" will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time.

The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument shining bright and clear. The arrangements are lush and full, giving each song the space it needs to soar.

Overall, Forbidden Fruit is a must-have for any Nina Simone fan or jazz aficionado. So grab a glass of your favourite forbidden fruit cocktail, put on your best jazz club outfit, and let Nina sweep you off your feet. Cheers to the queen of soul!

But Nina Simone was more than just a musician—she was a force for change. With her captivating presence and fearless activism, she used her platform to speak out against racism, sexism, and inequality. Whether she was performing at the Montreux Jazz Festival or marching alongside Martin Luther King Jr., Nina Simone never shied away from using her voice to inspire change. Despite her tumultuous personal life and battles with mental health, Nina Simone remained a resilient and revolutionary figure in the music world. Her legacy lives on through her timeless music and unwavering spirit, reminding us all to stay true to ourselves and fight for what we believe in.
