Nina Simone - Sunday Morning Classics

Review by James Howard

Sunday Morning Classics by Nina Simone: A Soul-Stirring Journey That’ll Make You Forget Your Coffee If you’re the kind of person who likes their Sunday mornings smooth, soulful, and just a little bit rebellious, then Sunday Morning Classics by Nina Simone is your jam. Released in 2018 (yeah, yeah, we know it’s a compilation, but shh), this album is like a warm hug from an old friend who’s seen some stuff—but don’t worry, she still loves you. With genres spanning Jazz, Funk/Soul, and styles dipping into Soul-Jazz and Rhythm & Blues, it’s got all the feels without trying too hard. Props to Frank Bloemen for compiling this beauty and Cris Kuhlen for making the artwork look cooler than your favorite coffee mug. Now, let me tell ya about two tracks that stuck with me like syrup on pancakes: First up, “Ain’t Got No – I Got Life.” This one’s a rollercoaster of emotions wrapped in a funky bow. It starts off raw and stripped-down, like Nina’s whispering secrets directly into your ear, then BOOM—it explodes into this empowering anthem that makes you wanna stand up and yell, “Yeah, I’ve got LIFE!” Whether you’re scrubbing dishes or contemplating life choices while staring at the ceiling, this track will slap you out of your funk faster than you can say “soul revival.” Then there’s “Mr. Bojangles,” which hits different every time I hear it. On paper, it sounds simple—a nostalgic ode to a tap-dancing legend—but somehow, Nina turns it into something deeper. Her voice cracks in places where words fail, and suddenly you’re not just listening to a song; you’re living someone else’s memory. By the end, you might find yourself Googling “how to tap dance” at 9 AM on a Sunday because WHY NOT? What’s wild about this album is how effortless it feels. Sure, these songs were recorded ages ago, but they breathe new life into whatever crappy mood you woke up in. And honestly? Listening to Nina Simone feels like borrowing her courage for a day—like she’s saying, “Hey, kid, here’s my pain, my joy, my fight. Use what you need.” So yeah, if you’re looking for background music to sip lattes to, this ain’t it. But if you want something that’ll make you laugh, cry, and maybe even dance awkwardly in your pajamas, Sunday Morning Classics has got your back. Just don’t blame me when you start belting “Mississippi Goddam” during breakfast prep. P.S. Fun fact: If Nina Simone were alive today, I’m pretty sure she’d roast half of Twitter and still sound classy doing it. Now THAT’S iconic.

About Nina Simone

baixar álbum Nina Simone - Sunday Morning Classics

American singer, songwriter, pianist. Born: 21 February 1933 in Tryon, North Carolina, USA. Died: 21 April 2003 in Carry-le-Rouet, Bouches-du-Rhône, France (aged 70). Nina was giving piano recitals after playing at her local church at an early age. Her childhood piano lessons were funded by her mother's employer and a local fund set up by her music teacher, so impressed were they by her talent. She moved to Philadelphia aged 17, teaching piano and playing to raise the money for her studies at New York's renowned Juilliard School Of Music. To fund her family she worked in a bar in Atlantic City where she was also required to sing and built up a devoted following. She recorded Gershwin's "I Loves You Porgy" which became a US Top 40 hit and transported her to a bigger stage, performing at Carnegie Hall and the . Her repertoire went on to embrace numerous Civil Rights anthems, a movement for which she was a passionate and prominent supporter. She left the US in the 1970s, moving first to Barbados, and some other places, including Africa and the Netherlands, before eventually settling in France where she died from cancer in 2003. Nina's voice drew heavily on other music forms. It was infused with gospel, blues, soul, jazz, R&B, and folk. And it found a wider audience late in her life when "My Baby Just Cares For Me" became an unlikely UK chart hit when it featured in a TV ad campaign. In fact her music stayed very popular with advertisers as her tracks have been used to promote a multitude of products on TV, including yoghurt ("Ain't Got No (I Got Life)"), Diet Coke ("I Put A Spell On You"), cars ("Sinnerman"), fabric conditioner ("Feeling Good"), and perfume ("Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"), et al.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know that Nina Simone's *Sunday Morning Classics*, released in 2018, is a treasure trove of soul-stirring tracks? It’s wild to think this compilation came out decades after many of these songs were first recorded. The album blends genres like Jazz, Soul, and Rhythm & Blues, showcasing her timeless voice. One standout detail? The artwork was done by Cris Kuhlen, adding a modern touch to these classic tunes. It’s a reminder of how Simone’s music continues to resonate, even years after her passing. Tracks like *Mississippi Goddam* and *Ain’t Got No - I Got Life* still carry so much weight.
