Premiere: Annie Lennox - I Put a Spell on You (Screamin' Jay Hawkins Cover)

AMAZING Annie Lennox is back with a brand new album filled to the brim with covers of legendary songs! Hell yeah! Nostalgia is recorded to fit a classic vinyl album standard and will have its premiere on said format as early as September 30th! Other outlets October 27th. Lead single I Put a Spell on You is a cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 utter classic. It's perfect for Annie's emotive and deep voice. Her nuances are crazy and her version is so raw and tempting. While it's hard to match the original's hollering and ghoul shouts without becoming a parody this matches the deep despair and willingness to do anything to control a unfaithful lover. Alsooo, Nina Simone's legendary version is NOT TO BE MISSED. Play all three back to back and enjoooy! Spotify stream if ya need and album trailer if ya fancy (you do)! Thoughts?
