Our Take

"Fresh off the press, Nina Simone's latest album 'You've Got To Learn' is a delicious cocktail of jazz, soul, and pure musical genius. From the moment you press play, you are transported to another dimension where Nina's velvety voice caresses your eardrums like a warm hug from an old friend.

Tracks like 'Feeling Good' and 'Mississippi Goddam' showcase Simone's unparalleled vocal range and emotional depth, while the jazz-infused arrangements keep your toes tapping throughout. It's like being serenaded by a sassy angel with a wicked sense of humour.

But don't be fooled by the smooth tunes and sultry melodies - Nina Simone is not one to shy away from controversial topics. In 'I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free', she tackles the issue of race and discrimination head-on, leaving you both enlightened and entertained.

Overall, 'You've Got To Learn' is a must-have addition to any music lover's collection. Nina Simone's timeless talent shines through in every note, proving once again why she is a true icon of the music world. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Nina Simone take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Trust me, you'll thank me later."

About the artist

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.
