I covered two songs made famous by Nina when I made “At Last” in 2003 - “My Baby Just Cares for Me” and “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.” I was so glad that Russ Titelman, who has worked with everyone you can think of, from Eric Clapton to George Harrison, was the producer on “At Last.” A long, long time before that, Russ sent me this old Richard Rodgers/Lorenz Hart song “Little Girl Blue,” by Nina Simone. In the beginning she does a bit from the Christmas carol “Good King Wenceslas.” This is all interior - it’s very quiet and almost stark. Because Christmas is the saddest time for a lot of people, and the loneliest. All these songs on “At Last” were covered by a multitude of artists - Nina included - so I figured the only way that people would hear my interpretation was if I rediscovered them and found a new soul, a new path, a new story within the story. Which is always how you should interpret a song: What’s the story? Where are you? What’s around you? Is it cold? Is it hot? Is it nighttime? Is it daytime? And what just happened? This is the storyline you start from. And listeners will feel the story, whether they’re aware of it or not. Because a lot of this wasn’t overt and spelled out - it was an interior rhythm that I needed to connect to. In that space, a story has more richness and an otherworldly quality. Anyway, Happy Heavenly Birthday Ms. Simone! 🙏✨🎶」2月22日 7時20分
