Alice Smith performing "I Put A Spell On You" in Damrosch Park for AFROPUNK’s Girrrl Riot @ Lincoln Center, NYC 7-27-16.

[@hawnma8083]

One of the best underrated singers of this time. Powerfully magnificent, technically supreme, and the greatest storyteller to grace a stage. She's the epitome of a great singer.

[@demetriaha1358]

Who is on here after hearing this on Lovecraft Country? Hauntingly beautiful and feminine. I felt this.

[@calvincoleman9911]

It’s so beautiful literally stopped me in my tracks

[@Madizm33]

I heard it on LCC and I was like wow whoever’s singing this song can blow! Found it on Apple Music and played a good number of times today. I love people who can sing from the soul

[@ariannalattimore6403]

It is riveting and grips my soul in a way I have never felt. This song made the scene in episode 8. The spellbinding orgasm as Ruby comes out of her skin in every facet....

[@ariannalattimore6403]

This song speaks to everyone that has felt this way about someone in their lives at one time or another.

[@BadFluffy]

I was captivated by her voice right from episode 1 when hearing her cover of Rock in the ending credits

[@quentinturner09]

She does this so effortlessly as if singing the pain of a million heartbreaks comes like breathing for her. That's one powerful soul.

[@NellenelleForSure]

Underrated and super accurate comment ✨

[@lisahill3749]

The rawness yet control has me obsessed. The way she is singing this, this is for someone who hurt her, or so it feels, yet who she still wants. I feel this in my soul.

[@acward1985]

I literally said the same thing … it’s so captivating and organic

[@graceandmarvellouswonders6249]

Well said and felt within, the energy is rich and I’m her for it all day long!!!

[@FyahAlex]

Masterful. A real technician.

[@checkdacontract]

It's sad how pain has to be the main ingredient to make something so beautiful

[@n.g.3741]

Same. I’m absolutely obsessed and I’m so sad I didn’t discover her sooner. Now I’m a fan.

[@MeraBaid]

What she is able to tap into is ancestral...that's what makes this so deep and beautiful and tragic and fragile and wild all at the same time.

[@BeautifullyMichdidi]

Why couldn't she be performing this at the Grammy's right now. She deserves that stage and would set it on FIRE!!!

[@yondabasela3003]

3years later and I wish I could double like

[@06DarKKlowN06]

She’ll shut the Grammys down

[@FyahAlex]

Game over event.

[@noufmansor3854]

I was holding my breath the hole time OMG she is not just singing its like she is telling her own story

[@MississippiGirl0013]

[@daniellenicoletaylor-jones7377]

Me too

[@SuperUkuleleGirl]

The way she says “I want you, I’m yours right now” is like a challenge. It’s not submissive at all. She’s like, powerful in her love and desire and how intensely she feels about this person it’s like “can you handle my love” just-gah. Amazing performance.

[@lamelwatson5132]

This MASTERPIECE can ONLY be done by those who are willing to bear their MOST vulnerable SELF in the name of LOVE...There are moments that calls upon the spirit of both Ms.Nina Simone and Mr.Screaming Jay Hawkins...Outstanding WORK...Ms.Smith!!!

[@MississippiGirl0013]

lamel watson so beautifully said... When you have True geniune love inside of you ..you truly feel the words to this song it's like you try to make someone see that your love is real and geniune but they don't care so it's like you love them so much you want to put a spell on them... 🤦😂.. but hey that's just my opinion lol

[@blackmagic5279]

This touches my soul to the point of tears.. I’m here after LoveCraft Country amazing I must listen to more of her music

She sings " Sinnerman" over closing credits

[@sorceryshazmah7997]

I can't seem to understand how she keeps getting away with these heinous crimes. Y'all keep letting her get on stage, knowing damn well she's gonna fuck it up and snatch each and every soul in the room...

[@kimberlywilliams1166]
