Music reviews of Simone on Simone
Music Review: Simone on Simone
Rating: 5 Stars
Not many young singers have the "chops" or courage to cover Nina Simone, one of the most original vocalists in history but her daughter, Lisa (aka Simone) has her own distinctly beautiful vocals and definitely did her mother proud!
This is an outstanding collection of some of Nina Simone's best singles and with backing from a terrific band, Lisa put a modern spin on them - most notably: BLACK IS THE COLOR OF MY TRUE LOVE'S HAIR. I love the arrangement of this track - it starts with her singing accapella then segues into a hip hop beat inspired updated rendition, a treat to listen to.
My other favorites are:
FEELING GOOD - this is one of my favorite Nina Simone tracks and I've never heard it sung (competently) by anyone else till now. Lisa sang it brilliantly by not trying to copy her mother's version.
MUSIC FOR LOVERS - a beautiful live duet with mother & daughter.
I HOLD NO GRUDGES - magnificent rendition
LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME - sassy track
KEEPER OF THE FLAME
DON'T YOU PAY THEM NO MIND - an exhuberant track
CHILD IN ME - the only original song penned by Lisa
HOW LONG MUST I WANDER - personal lyrics & a powerful presentation
I can't say enough about how enjoyable I find this collection of music. I'd definitely recommend it to fans of Nina Simone and also to those who are seeking beautiful arrangements sung by a vocalist who can SANG and made these songs her own.
