{"product_id":"ledisi-ledisi-sings-nina","title":"Ledisi - Ledisi Sings Nina","description":"Ledisi, the New Orleans-born and Oakland-raised singer, pays tribute to the legendary Nina Simone with the album \u003cem\u003eLedisi Sings Nina\u003c\/em\u003e. Featuring seven songs of social and personal import drawn from Simone's celebrated songbook, \u003cem\u003eLedisi Sings Nina\u003c\/em\u003e is a finely crafted, arrangement-driven collection recorded in Holland, Los Angeles, London, and New Orleans - before and after the pandemic began. It balances upbeat, big-band energy with atmospheric balladry, and an attention to historic detail that succeeds in updating the music for a modern hip-hop\/R\u0026amp;B era. With the prowess of Ledisi's voice, the messages of Simone's music - of personal empowerment and collective protest - retain a relevancy for a BLM generation facing the same harsh challenges and bitter struggles of the 1960s. The performances on \u003cem\u003eLedisi Sings Nina\u003c\/em\u003e find the singer benefitting from top-tier support in a variety of contexts: the majority of tracks feature the world-renowned Metropole Orkest conducted by Jules Buckley with arrangements by Jochen Neufer, and others. \"I'm Going Back Home\" features the all-star New Orleans Jazz Orchestra directed by Adonis Rose. \"Four Women\" is powered by Ledisi in the company of three vocalists of equal authority: Lisa Fisher, Lizz Wright, and Alice Smith. \"Wild Is The Wind\" - with Spanish guitar, piano and drums - is the album's sole live recording, taken from the 2020 PBS special broadcast Ledisi Live: A Tribute to Nina Simone.","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42685855989934,"sku":"4050538702545","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/products\/l_357efb6e-5e6c-474a-9d7d-145b86ac1e00.jpg?v=1649873463","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/ledisi-ledisi-sings-nina","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
