To hear Lauryn Hill’s voice and Nina Simone’s voice on one CD is bliss indeed! This CD is mellow easy listening but my favourite track is I’ve Got Life. The way they mix it is Hill raps to Nina Simone’s background vocals. Vibrant and powerful.
This CD marks the return of Ms. Lauryn Hill. The other artists are good but simply not in her league. Alice Smith with her eerie rendition comes close but others are distant seconds. I'm a huge Nina Simone fan and it hurts me deeply to admit that Ms. Hill's version of Wild is the wind is superior to Nina's. It is truly a tour de force. The real pity is why Ms. Hill did not record the entire album by herself. Black is the color of my true love's hair takes the listener to places that are sublime. Around minute 4 she goes into a trance by repeating the title over and over and over. It has to be heard and experienced. Overall, a great album in spite of few missteps here and there and some bizarre decision like including a song by Nina Simone! Who chose that song and what was the process of choosing one song from her entire discography? It just seems unfair to Nine Simone. Buy this CD for Ms. Lauren Hill incomparable performance.
