It’s a New Dawn, It’s a New Day for Raye on Nina Simone Cover

Raye covers Nina Simone's "Feeling Good" for Triple J's "Like a Version."

Unlike the original, which came out in 1965, Raye’s version is sparse and features only piano, no swinging brass, allowing her to plumb the depths of her happiness to evoke the song’s joy — you know how she feels. She performed the tune on the latest episode of Aussie radio station Triple J’s Like a Version series. Last month, Raye’s own talent was recognized when she became the most nominated artist in a single year at the Brit Awards.
