Paying tribute to a masterpiece from R&B queen Nina Simone, “Sinnerman” is a traditional African-American spiritual song whose roots in music history go back to the turn of the century.

Simone’s version is often considered the most famous, being a glorious jazz epic that she would often use as a closer for live performances. The lyrics detail a man wrought with sin who runs from the judgment of God and the terror of his past sins. Agents of Vibe mold it into an underground house flow that doesn’t fail to capture the breathtaking climaxes of Simone’s vocal performance.
