- As part of Sessions, a new spin-off of Gagosian Premieres, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Alice Smith delivers an unforgettable interpretation of the Screamin’ Jay Hawkins classic “I Put a Spell on You” (1956) inside the exhibition "Social Works II" at Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London. Hawkins’s song was famously covered by Nina Simone in 1965 and has since been performed and recorded by many other artists, from Bette Midler to Marilyn Manson. In 2015, Smith’s haunting rendition was featured on the album "Nina Revisited... A Tribute to Nina Simone".

A revelation. She sings this song like an ancient dirge that can reach the dead. An “I love you” that transcends this existence.
Yes indeed. Succinctly said. Alice the avatar.
Well said
This will put you in a trance. She literally casts a spell. I never put anyone above Nina on a cover, but she takes the cake. This has literally changed my life.
#SUPERFACTS
I just heard this woman for first time… every note sends chills all over my skin. Who made this human? Where? How? I want this woman to be heard by everyone… poet amongst poets… im in a trance into Nirvana reflecting upon it’s Self… ty beautiful singing Nightingale🫴🏽🕊️
When I first heard her Sing this song, I swear 6’7! 250lbs of me levitated off the ground! This is the closest I’ve heard the spirit of the song be matched especially in contrast to the Bette Midler sexy, voodoo and kinda coy versions people do.
This will forever be my fav version of this song … I can never stop listening to Alice’s version.
Try listening to Screaming Jay Hawkins version
It’s on autoplay, never get bored of playing it. I’m always in a haze listening to her voice
Her voice is beautiful. Dark, haunted, bruised but yet still so beautiful. Its such a moving voice, it could make even the devil cry.
I heard her name in Celeste comments… so glad i came to investigate bc chills all over my body. Im deeply feeling complex emotions with every note… amazing energy….
The reduced piano plays a big part too! Applause to the artist at the piano. The whole performance is fucking delicious.
I hope she never stops singing this song. It's hers.
There's a moment when you first hear Alice Smith sing and the way she uses tones and modes and you think "oh that's interesting". Then you hear it all in here and all of that goes away, it is just what it is, which is human and holy and everything in between and utterly, utterly beautiful
SAY IT AGAIN FOR 👏🏾 "EVERYONE" IN THE BACK!!! I LOVE ❤️ ALICE SMITH!!!!
Her voice makes me time travel...places me in fields of beautiful flowers, running at a slow cinematic pace, the wind blowing through my hair as majestic birds take flight. She's the breeze coming through farmhouse windows, rocking the chair unseated, while she sings on the Victrola. AMAZINGLY DIVINE.
What a beautiful and accurate tribute to this woman.
Thank you. She's phenomenal.
Indeed.
Nlll
@@aliciapablo8852 What does N!!!! mean?
She can do NO WRONG!!! 😍🔥
That ‘MAKE YOU MINE’ at 5:26…..the entire song really!!
Right....the piano says, "Shhhhhhhhh listen to this right here...with that augmented AND then diminished chord...and then BAM".
Alice Smith.... a stunning artist. breathtaking.
I am so glad to see this version getting the support and admiration it deserves. I heard this years ago and it knocked my d in the dirt. I then showed it to anyone who would listen, and I had a few people say it was boring. I don't recall what happened after that because I tuned anything that came out, they mouth right on out. I think God he gave me soul and then some soul within that soul.
Vocal artistry combined with visual art is the most creative thing I’ve seen in a long time.
Her rendition of this song makes me cry, smile, and love all at the same time. It stirs my soul so deeply. ❤❤❤
For sure.
Mine too.
The Best Rendition since The Great Nina Samone. Hauntingly beautiful! Hands down, during BGR 15 year Anniversary Gala. Alice Smith captivated the soul of the audience. Heaven and Hell filled the room THAT night. Heaven won!
Alice Smith is the true Bish!!! 🥰 All the roses from the garden and the vase. 💐🌹💐🌹
She reminds me of Eartha Kitt. However there's no one like Alice that I've heard. She sounds as though rhe singing g starts at her toes and goes up and out. Shes so believable and makes you feel whatever shes feeling at least thats what I feel.
Much love
I think she and Heather Headley are soooooo under rated. Powerful voices.
This version is a love spell! It’s mesmerizing, my husband loves this version of the song. Such a beautiful tribute to Nina Simone.
I already liked the original song. I love this version! It really speaks to my soul..like I can relate to that deep passion. 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
I just recently became aware of Alice Smith. I’m totally blown away. She’s all that…uhm uhm uhm. She’s so captivating just like the late greats Whitney Houston and Phyllis Hyman. Pull on your heart strings for sure ❤️❤️😢😢👏👏👏
Same!!! I looked up Clarence greenwoods bio and saw his wife is a singer too!! Had to hear the other voice of the pair!! Love Citizen cope and now obsessed with her
So true. Check out Goapele, Heather Headley, Gaelle , Laura Izabor and Yebba (my mind) all great under rated voices. Alice reminds me of my late sister, in every way build walk voice etc.
Phyllis.. yes... legit ..Phyllis was my girl too
You killed me and brought me back to life. You are a God. We are truly the chosen ones. It should be called black privilege. MFs need to get on there knees and ask THE MOST HIGH TO FORGIVE THEM. HER VOICE LETS IT BE KNOWN. HE ON HIS WAY BACK. LOVE YOU MRS.SMITH.
Heard Alice Smith perform this classic in DC live in 2016. She gave a mesmerizing performance. Hearing her, seeing her perform it alongside the pieces in “Social Work” feels equally as special. Thank you
Between her and her husband…. Both so beautiful!!
I love this performance and the director and editor of this video did a great job
I give thanks every time I hear her sing.
Can't stop coming back to this video ♥️🇿🇦
This version is so emotional I listen to it all the time I love it
Lovecraft Country brought me here. 🥺
Her voice has me captived.
Nonstop been listening to this song. Why am I just now finding out about Miss Smith what a beautiful soul! Her voice takes me high ❤
She gives me chills straight down my spine. Her rendition is spiritually haunting n I love it!! 🖤
Everything about this is just perfection. Direction and video content, piano arrangement and execution, and the otherworldly being known as Ms. Alice Smith. Some songs come from something unexplicable and speak to the deepest parts of us. Thank you for creating this and putting it out there for people to experience.
Song is 🔥🔥🔥, with so much emotion and passion.
I LOVE YOU ❤️ SISTER SOLDIER ALICE SMITH, THE MOST UNDERRATED!!! WHEN THEY FINALLY WAKE TO YOUR ROAR THEY WILL BE BLOWN AWAY QUEEN!!!
#HERRANGETHO #TRUEVOCALIST
Otherworldly, Sis!
I was in tears, and I'm not easily moved. I think it was because it felt like she meant it, it was real! Just lovely, the pianist as well. Well done!
So honored to have seen you in concert!!!
Wow she’s amazing
Will you please upload this version to Spotify? I’d absolutely LOVE to have it in my playlist and I think it can be a real hit through that platform as well ❤
I’m with you on that! She does this LIVE @ Black Girls Rock. My goodness just go on over and get taken away again lol
The first sentence sung already has me deep in my feels... Fkn love her❤❤❤❤
Such an enchanting artiste.
I love her voice
What I love is how both Nina and Alice sang the same song but provoked different emotions from each set. For example.. NINA..when she sings it I get the vibe of confident “you’re my B***” I don’t have to do much for you to be trapped whereas ALICE..when she sings it gives me the vibe of ..even though I put a spell on you I’m the one in a trance or even if you don’t want me you’ll want me ; I’m yours anyhow. it gives raw, powerful emotion, vulnerability
Lindo!! Música e artes visuais se apoiando e ficando ainda mais belas!!! Poderoso!! 👏👏
My lady in another lifetime.
Powerful. ❤️
Beautiful voice. Someone who loves his ancestry and can sing very well. Big up sister.
.... no shade, but when she sings, I can just smell the cotton and oppression!!! Her voice is timeless!
I’ve been in love with Alice Smith for so long this was so beautiful and refreshing.
I love this womannnn. So beautiful
phenomenal!
Spellbinding🖤
Hi ALICE!!! It's Joy your Kaua'i nanny from way back! I sure enjoyed this my girl, YOU ARE AMAZING. PERIOD. Sending love to you and yours, aloha🌊💎
I'm on the big island now..if y'all are ever this way!
Fantastic version.
This was breathtaking!!!!!
Alice is a gift.
The only artist to ever rival Nina on her own song 🤷🏽♂️
Actually, the song was originally written and recorded by an artist named Screamin Jay Hawkins, about 9 years before Ms. Nina Simone covered it.

"Does she know her hold, the hold she had... on me?
Does she know her strength, flesh of my flesh?
Does she, thy spell casting spell caster?
Does she know... I am hers right now, RIGHT NOW!
Does she know I put a spell on her?
Does she know I love her?
Does she know?" - ÜM
Alice!

SCREAMIN’ JAY HAWKINS...
Love ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 you
Is it possible to request the piano cords of this version?? I’d love to sing over this as a cover
It's not my favourite version, but that doesn't mean I don''t love the fuck out out of it. It's so beautifully melancholy and mournful (to my ears anyway).
Oh my God!!! Who is this?
💖
👏👏👏👏
goddess
What is the movie they are playing in it showing different parts
Where can I find the piano sheet music for this song?
