Nina Simone

In the process of writing up this piece about Ramadanman's remix of The xx's "Missing" (under his Pearson Sound alias), I realized that we had never featured his track "Good Feelin," which samples the Nina Simone classic.Given that it's Nina Simone, the vocals are strong enough to carry themselves with very little assistance. Which is perfectly suited to Ramadanman's sparse production style.On "Good Fellin'" he builds up the track with a minimal approach, eventually bringing in synths. Together, these elements wash around Simone's ubiquitous vocal, creating a cleverly simple but seriously effective version of the original.
