Our Take
Nina Simone, often referred to as the High Priestess of Soul, has certainly left a lasting impact on the world of music. The Complete RCA Albums Collection gathers together her entire body of work from her time with the record label, giving fans a comprehensive look at her artistic evolution. From the jazzy swagger of "I Put a Spell on You" to the poignant intensity of "Mississippi Goddam," Simone's powerful voice and thought-provoking lyrics are front and centre throughout this box set. Her ability to blend elements of jazz, blues, and classical music is truly unparalleled, making her a true musical chameleon. Tracks like "Feeling Good" and "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free" showcase Simone's vocal range and emotional depth, while more experimental pieces like "Four Women" and "To Be Young, Gifted and Black" demonstrate her fearless approach to tackling social and political issues. Although some of the recordings may sound dated to modern ears, there is no denying the timeless quality of Simone's music. Her raw, unadulterated talent shines through in every track, leaving listeners spellbound and longing for more. For any fan of soul, jazz, or just good music in general, The Complete RCA Albums Collection is a must-have addition to your record collection. Nina Simone may no longer be with us, but her music continues to resonate with audiences around the world, solidifying her status as a true musical icon.
