Come Away With Me - Norah Jones > Reviews

Advantages: Good production, excellent voice, soothing music
Disadvantages: Could get a bit same-y / repetitive for some

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 ... Read review

Advantages: This is so refreshing and relaxing
Disadvantages: Erm, erm, I don't want to do any housework now

...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 ... Read review

Advantages: Different, original sound
Disadvantages: Not for getting ready for a lively night out

...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 ... Read review

Disadvantages: Not enough of it.

There I was in WhSmith with a £10 gift voucher burning a hole in my pocket....well being an impulsive and spontaneous person I bought Norah Jones' album (well actually while wandering around the music department I noticed it was on offer!)and i haven't looked back since! It's simply a great 14-track album and I love every song. It makes me feel all warm inside when I listen to it and I’m pretty glad it was on offer I can tell you! It’s ... Read review

Advantages: Completely new and a change from average pop
Disadvantages: So soft, can make you sleepy (in best possible way)

...the right 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 ... Read review

Advantages: An album you can listen to all day without a care in the world
Disadvantages: Only 45 minutes long

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Having insomnia problems. She will put you to sleep
Disadvantages: Sometimes sleep is not all that much of a good thing. Especially on a bike going at 150 mph

...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 your life to come away with you. The telepathic message is this. Listen to the singer. Listen to the song. Just like everyone who listens to the song ends up falling head over heels for ... Read review

Advantages: relaxing, dreamy, calm
Disadvantages: none

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. <<Perception: The first time you hear it, you'll think: Hmm, smooth, calm...But here's a tip, ... Read review

Advantages: Very Relaxing
Disadvantages: None That I can think of.

"Come Away With Me" is an extremely good album, my music tastes are very varied, and at first I wasn't too sure if I was going to like this album. I have heard a couple of Norah Jones songs in the past, and they have being very good, but I didn't think that I could listen to a whole load of her songs at the same time. But I was definetly wrong as I absoulety loved this CD, it is very relaxing and great to listen to in the background, when reading ... Read review

all time favourite and it's a great evening relaxing album though not any of the songs are very extraordinary but it's cool!

Advantages: different, relaxing, a brilliant album!
Disadvantages: may not appeal to everyone

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 ...
