Jamaican Reggae Singer

NINA KARLE

“Then it was time for the first singer, Nina Karle, a young woman who, the emcee said, had accompanied both Jamaica's Sly and Robbie and the international singer Sinead O'Connor. Wearing glasses and a black dress, Karle sang a variety of songs, 12 in all. She started with an Ozoune-arranged, jazzy version of Marley's Is This Love I'm Feeling, a positive love song, and ended about 45 minutes later with Amy Winehouse's I Cheated Myself, a song about a relationship in problems. Slow and sultry In between, she got slow and sultry with the standard For Once in my Life, strong and sincere with The Boy From Ipanema, and soft and simple with Alma. She conveyed a feeling of romance with The Way You Look Tonight, and adopted Nina Simone's original styling for her hits Sinner Man and the immortal My Baby Just Cares For Me. ”
