A dozen years have passed since Nina Simone left us, yet it’s taken until now for a substantial tribute album to emerge. Making up for lost time, this 10-track import pays superlative homage to the singularly vibrant Simone in all her musical hues. Welcomingly, Round Nina is more a voyage of discovery than an exercise in backwards glancing. Recorded in Paris, in settings ranging from sparse to orchestral, the collection features an international array of vocalists, many of whom will be revelations to most Stateside listeners.

All eight remaining tracks are equally impressive, highlighted by British folk singer Lianne La Havas’ caliginous “Baltimore,” South Korean jazz stylist Youn Sun Nah’s nakedly powerful “Plain Gold Ring,” Swiss-based Brit Sophie Hunger’s explosive “I Put a Spell on You” and a soulful “Feeling Good” from France’s Ben L’Oncle Soul (who bears a striking vocal resemblance to Simone). But the standout of this olio is Nigerian Keziah Jones’ reggae-tinted “Sinnerman,” as seismic a tour de force as anything Simone ever crafted.

The album starts very promising with the Randy Newman song “Baltimore”, which was taken over by Simone and was one of her signature songs, event though it is said that she didn’t like the whole album where the song is from. Here, Lianne La Havas tackles the tune with soul and grace. Interestingly, the vocal that comes closest to Simone’s is that of a male singer: Keziah Jones is dealing with “Sinner Man” as if he had recorded it back in 1965. Amazing. The otherworldy and totally unique voice of Hindi Zahra delivers a haunting version of “Just Say I Love Him”, which Simone recorded twice in her career. And Gregory Porter, who seems to be everywhere these days, has a hypnotic and obsessive version of “Black Is The Color (Of My True Love’s Hair)” with sexy backing vocals by Melody Gardot who has her own solo spot on the album with a very spare “Four Women”.
