About this album
The Best Of Nina Simone is a strong overview of an artist who turned jazz, soul and folk material into something singularly her own. Drawing on performances such as Strange Fruit, I Put A Spell On You, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood and Four Women, the compilation shows the range of Simone’s artistry: intimate one moment, fiercely confrontational the next. Her phrasing, piano-led arrangements and dramatic control made her one of the defining voices of the 20th century, and this set highlights both her interpretive power and her role as an essential cultural figure. It is an effective entry point into her remarkable catalogue.
