Just days after her cover of "Feeling Good" added a fair amount of fuel to the hype fire surrounding both the forthcoming Nina Simone tribute album entitled Nina Revisited: A Tribute to Nina Simone and the Netflix documentary What Happened, Miss Simone?, Lauryn Hill is teasing even more Simone-inspired new music. Though Hill calls the tease a "snippet," the clip's 2:30 length gives a much less nuanced hint of the full track's tone than the average 15 or 30-second teaser.
"I've Got Life" is a raw and welcomed interpolation of Simone's 1968 single "Ain't Got No, I Got Life, " with Hill's vocal energy pulling the timely interpretation tastefully into the modern age.
Nina Revisited: A Tribute to Nina Simone is out July 10.
