Feeling Good: The Very Best of Nina Simone

2 people recommended this item

Description

how does one pick the best of nina simone? such a long, prolific career, with music to match every mood, every major life event, political event, each smile, and each tear.

each time i get fabulous, i hear "see-line woman" in my head, the where she talks about silk stockings with golden seams. that's how i know she's good.

this album is a pretty good intro to ms. simone. it does have "see-line woman," "mississippi goddam," "strange fruit," "i put a spell on you."

notably, it doesn't have a couple of my favorites, "i want a little sugar in my bowl," and "black is the color of my true loves' hair." but, that's what itunes is for...

Love Deluxe: Sade

First to recommend

Description

i know i got my taste in music from my mother and her brothers, their love for reggae and jazz and whatever is soulful . my father was busy listening to the eagles, but that didn't rub off on me so much.

well, helen folasade adu is literally one of the most beautiful women on the planet, and beside the fact that her band is brilliant, and beside the fact that her lyrical dexterity is quite unmatched these days, given that so many focus on making and selling ringtone music...well, um, beside all that, there's nothing, really. sade is the best, this album, one of my favorites ever.

Mas Que Nada: Jorge Ben

this song is a samba classic, and has been covered again and again (i'm looking at you sergio mendes), but jorge ben is the original writer, performer, so i'm giving love to him on this one. O que eu quero sambar tambem.

East Side Story: Emily King: Music

Description

just saw this girl perform live at a cafe..she's lovely, and talented, quite. and her brother tap danced during the show. which, clearly, you don't get to see with purchasing the album, so just imagine that as you listen to her music.

First to recommend

Description

"we heard funk is our neighbor so we paid her a visit."

why must the good groups always break up? "rebirth of slick" was every hip hop head's song that year. because we were all "cool like that..."

"'96 gon be that year that all y'all player haters can bite me."

"elevators" is one of my all-time favorite outkast songs, in part because of that line. i've strived to live by it. of course, i've updated that line year by year, so that now, certainly, it's 2008 gon be that year that all y'all player haters can bite me...

i'm a totally outkast fangirl.

Star Kitty's Revenge: Joi: Music

First to recommend

Description

my favorite song off this album is "what if i kissed you right now?"

"you make me feel like laughing out loud in a quiet place
you make me nervous when i see your face
i promise that the next time you come my way
i'm gon see if those lips are as sweet as the words they say"
