Various Artists: Nat King Cole Re: Generations

by Thea Ong – Gleneagle Secondary, Coquitlam BC May 1, 2009

3 stars

Nat King Cole comes to life once again with remixed classic hits.

“A jazz classics compilation with a modern flavour” is a good way to describe this delectable, cross-generational album. From reggae to rap, Re: Generations has a little bit of Nat for everyone to enjoy, as some of today’s top artists (including Cee-Lo, The Roots, TV On The Radio plus more) and producers come together to mix Nat’s vocals with their own musical stylings. However, purists beware: this is not your typical jazz album – don’t say I didn’t warn you. But with funky beats, poppy tunes and an overall fun-loving vibe, this album is sure to be a unique listening experience for all.

Thea’s fave track: Straighten Up and Fly Right
