It is not just the timbre of Norah Jones's voice that is mature beyond her 22 years. Her assured phrasing and precise time are more often found in older singers as well. She is instantly recognizable, blending shades of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone without sounding like anyone but herself. Any way you slice it, she is a singer to be reckoned with. Her readings of the Hank Williams classic "Cold Cold Heart" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" alone are worth the price of the CD. Jones's own material, while not bad, pales a bit next to such masterpieces. They might have fared better had she and producer Arif Mardin opted for some livelier arrangements, taking better advantage of brilliant sidemen such as Bill Frisell, Kevin Breit, and Brian Blade; or if the tunes had simply been given less laconic performances. Jones has all the tools; what will come with experience and some careful listening to artists like J.J. Cale and Shirley Horn is the knack of remaining low-key without sounding sleepy--sometimes less is not, in fact, more. --Michael Ross

E! Online
Gorgeous and intimate, the 14 songs on her debut disc ache with romantic maturity and a smart, slow-jam sexiness that belies the fact that, at 22, Jones is hardly older than Britney.

Customer Reviews

Norah Jones
Norah Jones is another really relaxing CD. We just love the thought of throwing in a few CDs and chilling out after a long hard day at work.

Smooth and mellow
Bought this CD for a song featured in the movie "Two Weeks Notice". Love the entire thing. Smooth, mellow and romantic.

Sweeeeeet!
What a beautiful voice! I could listen to her for hours and hours! The music is palatable and soothing, kind of a folksy jazz. If you like Anita Baker, Carole King, and Anne Wilson, you'll like Norah-just wonderful. I'll copy this review on her two other most recent works, as it applies there as well. She has established and proven herself, with a wide-enough body of work, so that she deserves all the recognition for a wonderful talent that she gets, and then some!
