"I think this is one of the greatest songwriters of our century. It's songs he's written you probably know them better by Dion Warwick singing them, some other artists singing them. But on this album, Burt Bacharach actually sings these songs himself and I just love the quality of his voice and also the connection that he has with these songs."Watch this moment
"I love Betty Davis. Interesting little fact about her, she's actually kind of like a quiet person, kind of like a subdued person, nothing like this woman right here. And I think that's so cool to let this side of herself come out and shine and be so powerful."Watch this moment

"This is Alice Coltrane's Journey in Satchidananda. This is a vibe. This is something that I'm excited to throw on in the background, especially if I'm having like a lousy or chaotic day.

"this is one of my favorites cuz it's got this beautiful song in there called 'Lie Like Wine.' Anytime Nina covers someone else's music, I find myself being more interested in how she's emoting it and how she's presenting it. This is just one of those albums where I'm just like wow she's like incredibly tied to the music and also the subject matter in the music."Watch this moment
