DESIREE has crafted a thoughtful reimagining of Nina Simone’s “Four Women,” transforming the civil rights classic into a contemporary deep house experience that preserves the song’s power while inviting modern listeners onto the dance floor. Rather than diluting the track’s message beneath glossy production, DESIREE maintained the clarity and urgency of Simone’s vocals, layering them atop carefully considered electronic grooves that allow the original composition to breathe and resonate. 

DESIREE explained her artistic philosophy with striking honesty, noting that she felt compelled to honor the song’s existing significance while creating a sonic space where listeners could physically connect with its emotional weight.

This remix arrives as part of Verve Records’ ongoing Nina Simone remix series, following Solomun’s previous reworking and establishing a compelling dialogue between legendary soul music and contemporary electronic production. DESIREE’s interpretation demonstrates a rare artistic maturity: the understanding that remixing an iconic work demands equal parts reverence and creative vision. By resisting the temptation to reinvent the wheel, she instead created a bridge between generations, proving that dance music and protest can coexist meaningfully in the same sonic space.
