Description

Nina Simone had a unique, broken but always-rising career – forced to play the blues in dives, while she was promised to a classical music performing career.

This was Nina Simone’s very first pain and she would keep its scar until she died. She cured this pain throughout an artistic and politic vision, and her music was ahead of genres and prejudices, it sounded like a cold and calculated revenge.

“I want to shake people up so bad that when they leave a nightclub where I've performed, I just want them to be to pieces“. We will feel exactly like this while listening to this Collector: to pieces but complete; exhausted, painful but free.

The cover art was designed by Paul Rogers, one the most famous illustrators of the USA
