This is not really a review of the full album. Originally, I simply wanted to direct people to the live session which she recorded for aol (www.aol.com.. then search for 'sessions' in their music section) which was definitely worth viewing - but has since been taken down. How annoying is that?
Anyway, 'Feels Like Home' is the latest album so if you were lucky enough to see the session and liked it, maybe you might like to go look at the more detailed reviews on ciao giving you the full gen on the whole album.
OK, Norah Jones. She's kinda cool, isn't she? She exudes integrity. Her beautiful, breathy voice could take you anywhere. Kinda takes you by the hand and leads you… To the back room of your heart? The piano sound is crisp and mournful, the percussion is heard as if from across the bar. The overall effect is of a warm hand stroking you.
Lyrically, the songs are complex and startling. The theme tends to return to existential loneliness. I loved lines such as ‘I wonder who I am without the warm touch of your hand’. And ‘money's just something we throw off the back of the train.’
She has a strong vocal range and a distinctive, honest approach to her music making.
If you like Lyle Lovett, Jamie Cullum, dinner jazz, Tina May - you'll probably love this.
If you're looking for fireworks but can't see too deep into the sky, you might not.
By the way – for the record, the latest album, released on Blue Note, contains the following tracks:
Sunrise What Am I To You? Those Sweet Words Carnival Town In The Morning Be Here To Love Me Creepin’ In Toes Humble Me Above Ground The Long Way Home The Prettiest Thing Don’t Miss You At All
A great gift idea for a partner. It'll make your toes curl in the bath.
