This album revolves around a song that had a second unexpected life. When Nina recorded it, it was just an elegant jazz theme more... nothing out of the ordinary. But decades later, in the 1980s, they used it in a perfume commercial in Europe and exploded in popularity. Suddenly, a recorded voice almost 30 years earlier rang again everywhere.
And Nina Simone didn't sing like anyone else. I had that mix of strength and sensitivity that makes you, when you listen to it, feel like you're just singing for yourself.
