Review

'I Put a Spell On You' by Nina Simone is a musical journey that tantalizes the senses, blending genres like a master perfumer combines scents. The album's title track wafts through the air like a heady, intoxicating aroma, Simone's voice a rich, smoky base note that lingers long after the song ends. Her rendition of 'Feeling Good' is particularly evocative, its minor-key celebration rising like steam from hot pavement after a summer rain, the brass and strings adding layers of complexity to the olfactory experience.

Simone's take on Jacques Brel's 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' is like inhaling the bittersweet scent of fading roses, her multilingual prowess adding depth to the emotional bouquet. The jazzy notes of 'Tomorrow Is My Turn' and 'Blues on Purpose' bring to mind the earthy, warm scent of well-worn leather and polished wood in a cozy jazz club. Throughout the album, Simone's authentic interpretations create a fragrant tapestry of musical styles, each song a unique note in a complex, unforgettable perfume that lingers in the memory long after the final chord fades. - Mira
