Our Take

Nina Simone's "Wild Is The Wind" reimagined by Acoustic Sounds is a delightful romp through the iconic singer's repertoire. The album has been stripped down to its bare bones, allowing Simone's powerful vocals to shine through like a beacon of raw emotion.

From the haunting title track to the soulful rendition of "Lilac Wine," every song on this album is a testament to Simone's unparalleled talent. The stripped-back acoustic arrangements bring a new depth to these familiar tunes, allowing listeners to truly appreciate the sheer beauty of Simone's voice.

One standout moment on the album is the gentle reimagining of "I Love Your Lovin' Ways," where Simone's vocals are accompanied by nothing but a delicate acoustic guitar. The result is a spine-tingling performance that is guaranteed to send shivers down your spine.

Overall, "Wild Is The Wind" is a masterclass in how to breathe new life into classic songs. Simone's timeless voice combined with the stripped-back acoustic arrangements make for a truly unforgettable listening experience.

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.
