‘Feeling Good: Her Greatest Hits and Remixes’ is a collection of the most iconic songs recorded throughout Nina Simone’s illustrious career. Packaged into one collection and including 7 remixes by some of the hottest, top DJ’s worldwide, the album speaks to the most ardent Nina fan while introducing her to a younger set of new listeners simultaneously. Nina’s previous remixes have garnered over a quarter of a billion streams to date. With popular DJ’s such as Joel Corry (Charlie XcX, Ed Sheeran, David Guetta), Riton (Mark Ronson, Dua Lipa, Silk City), Rudimental and others remixing a selection of hits, the new tracks are poised to become the next club and fitness favorites.
With so many stunning songs to her name, distilling Nina Simone’s discography into a ‘best of’ is no easy task. However, Verve have done a great job and have selected 19 of Simone’s finest songs including ‘Lilac Wine’ and ‘Feeling Good’. Alongside classics, some of today’s most sought-after DJs (from Hot Chip to Rudimental) bring 7 remixes that see Simone’s music in a whole new club dancefloor light.
