Apparently Nina's tendency to bounce between genres made it difficult for critics to pin her down, so led them to dismiss and underrate her. It's a shame really, because this album, which was compiled from a variety of studio and live performances from across 2 years, covers multiple genres without feeling disjointed at all. If anything, this mix of genres anticipates the work of popular artists such as Amy Winehouse and Lake Street Dive, with its combination of soul, jazz, motowny RnB, and blues.
Nina too is one of those singers who can communicate a world of feeling just through her voice.
