Nina Simone's A Single Woman: The Complete Elektra Recordings captures the legendary artist's final studio sessions in their entirety, showcasing her unparalleled ability to transform songs about love into deeply personal statements. Originally recorded as what would become her last studio album before her passing in 2003, these sessions revealed Simone's continued artistic evolution and her fearless approach to interpreting material across genres.
This complete collection unveils the full scope of those remarkable sessions, featuring previously unissued tracks that demonstrate Simone's eclectic repertoire spanning covers of Bob Dylan, Prince, The Beatles, and Bob Marley. The remastered recordings, accompanied by new liner notes, preserve Simone's "bleak honesty and unashamed recalcitrance" while showcasing arrangements that blend strings, woodwinds, and French accordions with her distinctive vocal style that valued authenticity over artifice.
