Previously a Waxx Lyrical Record of the Month (September 2025)
Nina Simone’s I Put a Spell on You finds the High Priestess of Soul at her most commanding — blending torch-song intimacy, jazz precision, and orchestral drama into one spellbinding statement.
From the title track — reimagined from Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ blues howl into a sweeping declaration of devotion — to the stirring reinventions of ‘Tomorrow Is My Turn’ and ‘Ne Me Quitte Pas’, Simone reshapes each piece into something unmistakably her own. Then comes ‘Feeling Good’, a triumphant Broadway number turned timeless anthem, later echoed by generations of artists but never equalled.
 
Elegant, emotive, and unflinchingly human, I Put a Spell on You remains a cornerstone of Nina Simone’s legacy — a record that still casts its magic six decades on.
