I said rock whats a matter with you rockQuelli di oggi è davvero un grande remix. E non lo dico perché è un disco che apprezzo davvero moltissimo ma perché il lavoro che è stato fatto sull'originale è davvero notevole.
Dont you see I need you rock
Dont let down
All on that day
"Sinnerman" (ascolta) nel remix curato dal dj di Chicago, Felix da Housecat unisce sonorità fredde come quelle di un disco electro a quelle decisamente più soul e jazz della canzone di Nina Simone.
Quel piano che nella canzone degli anni '60 era quasi di sottofondo adesso diventa un elemento portante della canzone, quasi ossessivo, cupo, ipnotico. Nonostante questo il brano riesce a non essere mai troppo scontato o noioso, soprattutto grazio alla parte vocale in cui al voce di Nina Simone fa la sua comparsa venendo tagliuzzata in modo da acquistare una nuova identità, completamente diversa rispetto a quella originale.
Insomma un remix in cui Felix Stallings Jr. riesce a prendere solo gli elementi più interessanti della canzone di Nina Simone in modo da crearne una canzone completamente nuova, per cui parlare di remix risulta anche a tratti difficile. Della parte vocale viene ripresa solo una piccolissima strofa di tutte quelle che compongono 10 minuti di canzone, mentre della base viene campionato il pezzo iniziale del piano.
Piacerà a chi ha sempre apprezzato sonorità poco commerciali, ma allo stesso tempo riuscirà a colpire chi ama suoni orecchiabili e un pizzico di soul. In ogni caso rimane una canzone non facile, a tratti difficile da capire ma decisamente originale e ben costruita.
