Free Music Notes for Remixed & Reimagined
Free Music Review: Nina Simone just a little bit funkier...
Hit: 4 Stars
I have really enjoyed this CD. I've been a Nina fan for about 4 years now. I was really surprised at just how well one can remix and tune up her work to make it more modern without impacting her voice. Good stuff!Free Music Review: updated classic sound
Hit: 4 Stars
The remixed Nina Simone has brought me hours of hip-shaking joy both in the kitchen and out. This is an excellent update on an unshakeable classic collection. Free Music Review: Incompetent insulting remixes of one of music's greatest talents
Hit: 1 Stars
A few years back I purchashed an amazing CD of Shirley Bassey remixes and, for who knows what reason, I was under the impression that it was from this "Remixed and Reimagined" series so I purchased Nina's CD without hesitation.
I am a HUGE Nina Sinone fan and thought that there was much potential for "reimagining" some of her songs, but you will never find out from this mess. Rarely have I encountered such an unlistenable product that I wanted to stompt it to pretend that it enver existed. If you like Nina, stay away no matter how hip the marketing concept may sound.
Free Music Review: For open-minded people...
Hit: 5 Stars
I wish the purists would just stay away from these remix projects! They complain that this isn't the Nina Simone (or whoever) they're familiar with and trash the release because of their own hidebound attitudes. The fact is, this a well assembled remix project that should please fans of the jazz-electronica genre (Verve Remixed, etc.), and more open-minded Nina fans as well. Calling this house music is simple-minded. There are beats here to be sure, but the producers take a variety of approaches that honor the original music without trampling it too much. Of course, like most of these remix projects, some efforts are more successful than others, but overall, very solid. I hope there are more in the Remixed & Reimagined series in the pipeline. Meanwhile, the stubbornly literal-minded types should stop buying (and reviewing) these!Free Music Review: Nina would be disappointed

Nina Simone would be so disappointed with this. It just sounds like someone superimposed lyrics and new age groove music. It sounds like two different pieces of music playing at the same time. What a shame.
