Listen to Lauryn Hill's Sharp Cover of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good"
Netflix's Nina Simone documentary What Happened, Miss Simone? is set to premiere on June 26. So it's Nina season, and a centerpiece of the celebration will be Nina Revisited: A Tribute to Nina Simone. The film-accompanying album will include covers by Mary J. Blige, Usher, Common, Lauryn Hill and Simone’s daughter, Lisa.
Today we've got one of Hill's whopping six contributions to the compilation, a passionate take on the classic, frequently covered "Feeling Good." (Just last month Avicii offered an EDM rework; it wasn't the best.)
Listen to Lauryn Hill's version above. It's faithful, creatively interpretative and it ends with a helluva guitar solo.
