Our Take

Nina Simone's New Jersey 68 album is a whirlwind journey through the legendary singer's unparalleled talent and eccentricity. Simone's powerful vocals and emotional depth take center stage in this eclectic mix of soul, jazz, and blues.

From the haunting "Sinnerman" to the jubilant "Feeling Good," Simone showcases her range and versatility in each track. Her unique take on classic songs like "My Baby Just Cares for Me" and "I Put a Spell on You" will leave you spellbound.

The live recordings capture Simone at her rawest and most unfiltered, with each note dripping with passion and intensity. The audience's thunderous applause only adds to the electric atmosphere of the performance.

But it's not just Simone's voice that steals the show – her piano skills are equally mesmerizing, weaving intricate melodies that transport you to another world. The improvisational nature of her playing keeps you on the edge of your seat, never knowing what surprising twist she'll throw in next.

Overall, New Jersey 68 is a must-listen for any music lover looking to experience the genius of Nina Simone in all her quirky, captivating glory. Strap in, hold on tight, and get ready for a wild ride through the mind of a true musical genius.
