ANNIVERSARY: NINA AT NEWPORT

July 31^st is the release of the anniversary edition of Nina Simone at Newport, available on all streaming services. The release will include the original ‘Trouble in Mind’ single, which was previously only available on ‘’The Colpix Singles’’ collection.

ALBUM REISSUE: FODDER ON MY WINGS

Recorded at a time when Nina Simone was feeling rejuvenated by her surroundings and by the African musicians she met in her newly adopted France, ‘Fodder On My Wings’ is an essential, deeply personal album from the High Priestess of Soul.

A marvel of self-expression, Fodder on My Wings is a culmination of Simone’s frustrations molded into a jarring personal statement.

It is stupefying to hear Simone, her voice as sharp and warm as ever, cry out over the “dust inside her brains,” creating an uncomfortably clear window into her soul.

This newly widespread release of Fodder on My Wings prompts yet another searching reconsideration of one of the century's most powerful voices.
