Feels Like Home - Norah Jones > Reviews

Advantages: fantastic voice and a chilled out feel
Disadvantages: maybe too laid back in places

There is a familiar concept banded around in musical circles known as… "The difficult second album". It is a phenomenon that rightly haunts many artists and there is good reason for it. Imagine you are a band or artist struggling round the circuit for years writing your material as your own whim and desire takes you, testing those songs in front of live audiences for years and then one day it happens, the contract is signed, the studio is booked and ...

Advantages: Lovely to relax to
Disadvantages: Can make you sleepy if you get too relaxed

...she has no choice. She feels so guilty about the way she treated him and it seems that she is humbled by the lord God and sees this as punishment for the way she treated her ex. That’s the first part. After it seems as though she is talking to her ex on the phone. "Baby Teresa she got your eyes, I see you all the time" is an indication of this. She tells him what she here’s what he’s been up too and it seems that she tells him over the phone that ... Read review

Advantages: It's got a DVD
Disadvantages: Another version to buy

This is an updated version. How do you get the music buying public to buy an album again that has already topped the U.K. charts? Well you give them more of what they have already parted with cash for; this seems to the thinking behind the release of this “Deluxe” edition of the second album from Norah Jones. Don’t get me wrong as an admirer of the vocals and songs of this artist I was more than happy when a friend gave ... Read review

Advantages: starts and ends well
Disadvantages: has a lot of 'filler' tracks

Having heard Norah Jones' debut album (its a bit hard not to have had a listen one way or another after all the hype) I decided to but her second one. So with high hopes I did so. Her Debut titled “Come Away With Me” was, in opinion pretty damn good. It made her a star, a millionaire (i assume) and Grammy award winner. I seem to remember opening the paper to see a picture of her with her arms full of so many grammy awards that they ... Read review

Advantages: This exceeds expectations
Disadvantages: You may wear out your CD player!

...awaited Norah's second offering - Feels like home. Upon first listen you'll find yourself slipping into a daze - lost in the melodic tones of a voice which shivers through the air. After a few listens you'll find yourself unknowingly humming or singing to yourself the beautiful words of "Those sweet words" and "Toes". Other songs included within the CD include her current, hazy single "Sunrise". An up-beat tune which you'll find yourself dancing ... Read review

Advantages: good for insomniacs
Disadvantages: snoring

NORAH JONES – FEELS LIKE HOME Too much drink, party political broadcasts and Norah Jones. The above three things all have one thing in common; they have an annoying habit of making you very sleepy. Now don’t get me wrong this is by no means a negative swipe at Norah Jones, I enjoyed this CD immensely. The problem is that you get so relaxed listening to it. Norah Jones is the equivalent of a comfy pair of slippers or that cosy home knit ... Read review

Advantages: Great Voice
Disadvantages: Songs Seem to blend into each Other At Times

After buying this cd in American but not having a cd player to play it on i became very excited to listen to it, and was it worth the wait. Yes definatly. This album is much more of a mix of genres than the first one, it has a mixture of country and western, jazz, blues and electric guitars. With this album unlike the first one Nora Jones does some really good deuets (my faviourite being creeping in, with the great Dolly Parton their voices really ... Read review

Advantages: Warm, soothing, sound over startling lyrics
Disadvantages: Packaged down the mainline towards MOR

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Some good songs
Disadvantages: Not as good

This is the second release from the great artiste Norah Jones. I would have to say that I do prefer the first release because it was much more of a jazz and blues CD. This one is more pop orientated. The CD has 13 tracks including the release of Sunshine. The Cd was released in Februrary. My favouriet song is Humble Me and Carnival Town. Her voice is very distinctive and it will be a pleasure to see how far she makes it. The tempo has increased since ... Read review

Advantages: This is the best music

Advantages: What a way to relax and take the stress of the day away!!
Disadvantages: Cars behind you when you sit through a green light!

Not having purchased the first CD or to be honest not really knowing who Norah Jones really was on purchasing this CD i was not sure what sort of music would be included on this CD. I had only heard a selection of tracks which were reviewed as 'album of the week' on my local radio station one every evening on my drive home from work . These 'tasters' appealed to me so i purchased the CD. What a treat. Listening to this especially in the car takes ... Read review
