Sinnerman being used at the end of Inland Empire is truly one of the coolest music moments put on film.

This is consistently vintage Nina. Perfect for those skies getting dark. I mean, she has some absolute belters elsewhere, but now I remember why I considered this one of her best.

I was about to allocate a dastardly demon 'pending' for promotion here, but I may make an exception and just skip that part entirely

Sinner Man, Strange Fruit, classic album that probably deserves a bump

Check Screamin' Jay Hawkins version





Also Strange Fruit is one of the most devastating songs of all time, clears Billie's version ez

I circle back around some of Nina’s other offerings and although she has some incredible material elsewhere, this has remained at the top for a good while, just through sheer consistency

the rough old school prod gives it such a thicc atmos, even on the remaster they kept this striking lo-fi’ness in tact, as far as I can recall / tell
