i think of "sinnerman," "tweeter" and "see-line woman" as essentially rhythm tracks. that's what's distinctive about them. i mean, they have good melodies and hooks, but the rhythm is what sets them apart to me. i wish nina had done more of that particular thing. maybe she did and i just haven't heard it.

"...almost big band sound."
Like "My Baby Just Cares for Me" and "Sugar in My Bowl". Or is that last one more torch-y? Don't care. Both are awesome.

"Love Me Or Leave Me" is great.

I just can't think of how Sinnerman goes at the moment but my fave Nina track is from her less favoured later work - cover of Randy Newman's Baltimore. If there's any The Wire fans on here, it would make a superb soundtrack to that

Apologies if this has been mentioned, but Timbaland liberally samples/manipulates "Sinnerman" on the opening cut of his solo album from last year. It's interesting, at the very least.

Is the piano arrangement in double time while she sings in single time, or is piano in single time and the vocals in half time?
