Review of Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

Norah Jones - Come away with me This album cost me a princely sum of 50p from Barnsley Sunday Market. The album, released in 2002 is still riding high in the jazz charts, and the only track I had heard prior to buying this album was 'Don't know why' which is certainly in the jazz style of ballads, and she has a jazzy voice to match. Five Grammy's, twenty million plus sales, this has gotta be a cracking album right? Coupled with the fact that she ...
...no life. 0/10. 5. Come Away with Me First track on the cd written by Norah. A ballad like song with a change of vocal style for her at the beginning with an almost hushed voice...piano work is quite sublime. What this song essentially does is tells a dreamy longing by someone. Not my usual type of song, yet, there is something about the guitar work again, Asian and jazz influenced that makes me really like this, and her vocals really are quite ...

Review of Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

...are about loves that have come and gone, her sound is not in least depressing, you can almost imagine yourself sitting in a exclusive wine bar for example in the company of a loved one listening to her sing live. At this point it may perhaps be a good idea to describe some of the tracks for you now that you know a bit about Norah herself. Track Listing: “DON’T KNOW WHY” written by Jesse Harris (3.05 minutes long) The very song ...
...who asks her lover to come away with her, somewhere they can’t tempt us with their lies, to me this seems a song about people coming between lovers. 10/10 ”SHOOT THE MOON” written by Jesse Harris (3.57 minutes long) This song has a very ”Practical Magic” feel about it and sounds like something Stevie Nicks would perhaps have penned with an injection of country thrown in for good measure. A nice little melodic tune ...

Review of Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

Every now and again, an album comes along that everyone has to have or seems to own. When I was first really getting into music "Brothers in Arms" was one such album and through school there were two or three more. Even afterwards, away from peer pressure, they still appeared from time to time. You know the ones - Guns and Roses' first album, Automatic for the People by R.E.M. or Play by Moby to name a few. 'Come Away with Me' by Norah Jones is ...
...for my parents, it's something I play myself quite often. Norah Jones was born on 30th March 1979 and is the daughter of sitar "legend" Ravi Shanker. As tends to be the case for children with musical parents, she has taken up music herself and is quite an all-rounder by contributing in many ways to the album as singer, piano, songwriter and producer. It's quite a difficult album to categorise; many people instantly pick up on the jazz overtones ...

Review of Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

...mainstream pop music. They have come along at the perfect time, because the majority of music lovers and listeners are tiring of manufactured pop, and the stereotypical warblers who seem to rule the singles charts. This album was released in early 2002, and was instantly given a big thumbs up from the music critics, but the acid test was the record buying public, and they answered any doubts by buying her album in their thousands. The single which ...
...of the tracks that would come to mind when you think of this album. The mood of 'Turn Me On' is given away by the title. I doubt it will ever rank up there with the likes of 'Let's Get It On' because it is not commercial enough, but if you are looking for music to put you in the mood for love then you need look no further. Her voice just oozes sexiness here, and she hints at what she expecting when her partner arrives home. 'Lonestar' is my favourite ...

Review of Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

...Awards and Accolades for Come Away With Me. With the arrival of her debut Album Come Away With Me, Norah Jones gained public recognition world-wide. The album was celebrated for its blend of mellow and soulful acoustic songs and she had her first #1 in the States with single "Don't know Why." The album then went on to reach #1 in the charts in 2003. Her success was confirmed again when she walked away from the American Grammy Awards in 2003 with ...
...and allure of her voice come out in this song the most and I could listen to it again and again and again. (And then I'd have to go find my partner!) If any song is a letdown on this album, it would have to be Lone Star. As the title suggests, it is a little bit more country than I would normally go for. Having said that, I still wouldn't skip through this track. Opinion A perfect album for a relaxing evening sitting on the deck with friends… ...

Review of Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

...I actually liked. Her album Come Away With Me was on the top of my Christmas list and Santa duly left it in my stocking for Christmas in 2002. Who Is Norah Jones? Norah Jones is the daughter of 60s Sitar legend Ravi Shankner. She is a very talented young lady for producing such a high quality mature album, at the tender age of 24. As well as singing she plays Piano on all the tracks and has written or co written a handful of the tracks. If I can ...
...some of the others. Come Away with Me The self penned title track of the album is a beautiful simple sing about forbidden love * Come away with me where they can’t tempt us with their lies” Shoot the Moon Another country tinged ballad about changing seasons and changing moods in lovers. Another one I am not so keen on. Turn Me On On of my absolute favourites on the album. It is sultry and soulful. Norah’s vocal has almost a gospel feel on this ...

Come away with me in the night Come away with me And I will write you a song Track 6-'Shoot The Moon'(Jesse Harris) 3.57 Theres a gutair tune that sounds like rain all the way through this track and its a really nice, relaxing song thats also quite sad. It's a reflectful track with a lot of soul. The summer days are gone too soon You shoot the moon And miss completely And now you're left to face the gloom Track ...
...song this one! Another cover but she does it so well it feels like her own. I find myself swaying to this as it defiantly has a jazz feel to it and once again the musicians are faultless. My poor heart it's been so dark Since you've been gone After all you're the one who turns me off You're the only one who can turn me back on Track 8-'Lonestar' (Lee Alexander) 3.05 This is a bit different to the others as it sounds a bit country and western. ...

...balance of percussion. 5. Come Away With Me. My favourite on the album because Norah Jones whisks us away through the night scenery and promise of going to a better land. Excellent!! Lots of joyful melodies. 6. Shoot The Moon. A lovely piece of music. Shoot the moon is a song that mixes fantasy with real life. If we could shoot the moon for our wishes to come true, we would and if it would improve a lost soul, listening to this album would be a ...
...in Love Actually. I think it is Norah's sexy side coming to light. All girls love to be given attention and in this song, Norah lets us anticipate this couple's passionate antics. 8. Lonestar. Ok. I think this song is suited to driving and chilling out. It is great that Norah and her band use their own real life talent and no computer is used for enhancement. 9. I've Got To See You Again. A very energetic track and Norah Jones at her singing peak. ...

Review of Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

Definitely bluesy, some jazz thrown in and a touch of country to finish. Easy listening don't get any easier. Norah Jones has a wonderfully soulful and sultry voice that fits every song on this album beautifully. If the finest Belgian chocolate had a voice, it would sound something like Norah's. The songs are all moderately slow, some of which are covers, but all have their own dreamy quality that you just can't help getting caught up in. I love ...
...are in a class of their own. There are 14 songs in total but the 45 minutes they last for seems woefully short, and is my only complaint. I intend to write a review of this album which will cover the individual tracks in more detail, as I feel it's what this album deserves. This album is superb, and I'm not even a fan of this type of music. If you want something you can listen to while curled up in the warmth of your own home on a cold winter's ...

Review of Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

...with the review. Come away with me is a brilliant album. The undertone of the album is one of missed chances and mourning of the heart. For the most part her songs are of missed chances and foolish mistakes. Though if I were to say they were love songs or even if I were to say they were mournful love songs would not do her the credit she deserves. So I will say that her songs are vague...Lets start with "don’t know why" Don’t know why. {Jesse Harris} ...
...good song regardless Come away with me. {Norah Jones} Finally the title song. What makes this song so good? Well one thing to think about is the words. Who among the men reading this review would not want to come away with Norah Jones? She is one of those people who are completely transformed without spectacles. Norah's face aside this song is a love song. It’s a heartfelt one at that. It’s a song you play when you want to convince the guy/gal in ...

Review of Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

Are you a dreamer? Someone who is always with his/her head in the clouds? Are you not afraid to put phantasy in charge and completely forget this world? Then this might be something for you. On gulfs of harmonious melodies Norah Jones flies you to the most beautiful places imagineable. Her sweet, young, sensual voice serves great as background as well. <...2 or 3 times as background first. Doing this will give such a magical effect to the occasion that you will absolutely want to hear what this soft voiced lady is actually singing. When you listen close, you will hear a stream of unique words that can't be found in an average TOP 20 chart; no love me, love you, happy forever, but tactical, seductive words, she uses to get you to the essence of a romantic atmosphere. <

Review of Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

Norah Jones has been achieving great things recently but it all started with her singing to groups of about 20 people often just for tips. She spent years singing in cafe bars and small clubs in New York. However, 24 year old Norah Jones has been deservedly successful with this her debut album 'Come Away with Me' which has won her five Grammy awards (she was nominated for 8!) including 'Album of the Year' and 'Record of the Year' for 'Dont Know ...
...production by Norah herself amongst others. When you want to unwind, this is the perfect album. When you just want to sit down with a glass of wine, and put your feet up, its ideal,have this playing in the background. Having loved the sound of Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton, this album appealed to me. Although being far different from these two artists, Norah's voice and beautiful songs are a relieving change from some of the other female artists ...
