Our Take

With a voice as rich as English breakfast tea and a presence as powerful as Big Ben, Nina Simone truly reigns as the High Priestess of Soul. This album is a testament to her unmatched talent and versatile range.

From the moment the needle hits the groove on the opening track, you are whisked away on a musical journey that spans continents and emotions. Simone's iconic vocals are complemented perfectly by the lush instrumentation, creating a sonic tapestry that is both gentle and commanding.

Tracks such as "Feeling Good" and "I Put A Spell On You" showcase Simone's ability to effortlessly switch between sultry and defiant, leaving the listener captivated and craving more. The live performances on this album are particularly breathtaking, as Simone's raw, unbridled energy fills every corner of the room.

Although this album may have been released decades ago, its relevance and impact are still felt today. Simone's messages of empowerment and resilience are more important now than ever, making this album a timeless classic that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection.

So, grab a cup of tea, put on your comfiest jumper, and let Nina Simone take you on a soul-stirring journey that will leave you in awe of her legendary talent. Cheers, darling.

Her music was a reflection of the turbulent times in which she lived, capturing the anger and defiance of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. 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. So, to all the soul-searching, heart-wrenching, and politically-charged music lovers out there, Nina Simone is the voice you need to hear. Let her powerful lyrics and soul-stirring melodies transport you to a place where music is not just entertainment, but a call to action. Nina Simone may no longer be with us, but her music lives on, a testament to the enduring power of art to change the world.
