Our Take

NINA SIMONE The Definitive Collection 1958-62 Review:

Nina Simone, the High Priestess of Soul, has blessed us with a collection of songs that is nothing short of iconic. From the jazzy melodies of "My Baby Just Cares for Me" to the soul-stirring vocals of "I Put a Spell on You", this album is a masterclass in musical brilliance.

Simone's voice is a force to be reckoned with, effortlessly sliding from sultry whispers to powerful belting in the blink of an eye. Each track on this compilation is a testament to her extraordinary talent and unparalleled emotion.

But don't be fooled by the smooth sounds and sweet melodies - Simone doesn't hold back when it comes to laying down the truth. "Mississippi Goddam" is a powerful anthem that remains as relevant today as it was in the 1960s, a fearless call to arms against racism and injustice.

The Definitive Collection 1958-62 is a must-listen for any music lover, a timeless journey through the heart and soul of one of the greatest artists of all time. Simone's legacy lives on in every note, every lyric, and every ounce of passion poured into each and every song on this remarkable album.
