Since Nina entered the Philippine music industry in 2000, she has been known for doing cover versions of popular classic hits. In 2002, her debut album Heaven was released along with two chart-topping singles, "Foolish Heart" and "Loving You", which are both revivals. Aside from performing well commercially, both singles were critically acclaimed. In 2003, she covered three more songs on her second studio album Smile, namely "A Girl Can Dream", "Shoo-Bee-Doo" and "I'll Always Stay in Love This Way". "A Girl Can Dream" was released as an official single, while the other two were released as radio-only singles due to warm reception. In 2005, Nina proved herself as the great cover-girl, when she released her first live cover album Nina Live!. The album was a huge commercial success, certifying Diamond by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI). The album's lead single, "Love Moves in Mysterious Ways", also became her most successful single when it topped the charts for twelve consecutive weeks in record time. In 2006, her self-titled album was released and it contains two revivals, namely "I Can't Make You Love Me" and "Love Is Contagious". Both songs received positive response from critics. The album was then re-issued in 2007, containing a second disc of Barry Manilow classic songs. The re-issue showcases Nina's renditions of Manilow hits such as "Somewhere Down the Road" and "If I Should Love Again". In 2008, she released her second cover album entitled Nina Sings the Hits of Diane Warren, wherein she took on Warren-penned ballads. She released "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" and "There You'll Be" as commercial singles.

Nina Renditions Of The Soul Album

Few artists have had the impact on pop, soul, rock and jazz as the iconoclastic Nina Simone. Simone (1933-2003) played by her own rules in life and art, recording some of the most electric and eclectic music imaginable in any genre. It wasn't uncommon on a Simone album to find politically charged protest music alongside popular Broadway hits and reworkings of contemporary rock songs. This April, she will enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, though she preferred to call her singular fusion of genres "black classical music." Throughout her long and fascinating career, the singer/pianist/songwriter/activist recorded for a variety of labels including Philips, RCA Victor, and CTI. But two new compilations are looking at her two earliest recording affiliations - for the Bethlehem and Colpix labels. On February 9, Mood Indigo: The Complete Bethlehem Singles will arrive from BMG, and two weeks later, The Colpix Singles will be released on the newly-reactivated $tateside label.
Simone's move to Colpix Records was a fruitful one. She remained at the label from 1959-1964, releasing ten albums and numerous singles. Those singles are being collected on the 2-CD, 27-track release simply entitled The Colpix Singles (also available in a 14-track highlights edition on vinyl). Singles were drawn from both live and studio albums for the label, including The Amazing Nina Simone, Nina Simone at Town Hall, Nina Simone at Newport, and Nina Simone Sings Ellington. At Colpix, Simone recorded some of the most sly, sultry, and incendiary music of her career, touching on folk, blues, jazz, and soul including renditions (all included here) of "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair," "Willow Weep for Me," "Cotton Eyed Joe," "I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl," and an answer song to Ray Charles' "Hit the Road, Jack" entitled "Come On Back, Jack." Featuring all of the songs in their original mono single versions (including some unique edits), The Colpix Singles will be released on $tateside, which Warner Music's Global Catalogue Division relaunched last year to focus on classic jazz, soul, and R&B releases - making Nina Simone an ideal candidate for the new label's roster.
In her own works and her renditions of other artists' songs Nina Simone suffused her classical training with a soulful and emotionally loaded voice. While she developed as an artist and discovered new styles and genres she never discarded what had come before. Her jazz numbers are suffused with her gospel roots while her blues always carry a soulful air; all of her music is a mosaic of styles painted on a canvas awash with classical music. 2ff7e9595c
