Our Take

NINA SIMONE Sings Ellington is a delightful journey through the musical wonders of two legends colliding like an earthquake in a biscuit tin. Simone's soulful vocals are like butter melting on a warm crumpet, smooth and oh so satisfying. Ellington's masterful compositions provide the perfect backdrop, like a fancy hat at a garden party.

From the opening track, "Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me," Simone grabs hold of your ears and doesn't let go. Her voice dances effortlessly through the jazz-infused melodies, captivating and enchanting with each note. It's like being at a fancy cocktail party where everyone is dressed to the nines and the drinks are flowin' like the Thames.

The album's standout track, "Solitude," is a hauntingly beautiful rendition that showcases Simone's unparalleled talent. Her voice floats like a ghost through the foggy London streets, leaving a lasting impression on your soul. It's like sipping a cup of tea on a rainy day, comforting and familiar.

Overall, NINA SIMONE Sings Ellington is a must-listen for any music lover. It's a timeless classic that will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, like a hug from your favourite auntie. So grab a cuppa, put on your best tweed jacket, and lose yourself in the magic of Nina and Ellington. Cheers, old chap!

Nina Simone

Nina Simone, a force of nature in the world of music, was a dazzling combination of raw talent and unapologetic rebellion. Born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in 1933, this American singer-songwriter transcended genres with her powerful vocals, soulful piano playing, and unwavering commitment to social justice. Known for her unique blend of jazz, blues, folk, and classical music, Nina Simone captivated audiences with hits like "Feeling Good," "Sinnerman," and "I Put a Spell on You." 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.
