Album Highlights
”Don’t Know Why” showcases Jones’
range and depth as a singer. She’s definitely got the jazz ingénue thing
down to a science and her voice sounds years more mature and polished
than 23. “Don’t Know Why” is mellow and seductive without being overtly
sexual which is a theme that pretty much runs through the whole album.
”Seven Years” and ”Cold Cold
Heart” have more of a bluesy feel than a jazzy feel. The latter is a
Hank Williams remake that I think stretches a little bit, but I really
like the music on both tracks. ”Feelin’ The Same Way” picks up the pace a
bit
”Come Away With Me” reminds me
of a lullaby. Sweet, endearing and child-like – it just sounds sweet. It
should be said that Norah Jones isn’t some flash in the pan pretty girl
with no talent. Not only does she play the piano but she writes also.
“Come Away With Me”, “Nightingale”, and “The Long Day Is Over”* were
written by Norah and are some of the stronger cuts. (* = co-writer
credit).
”Turn Me On” reminds me of
country singer Shelby Lynne for some reason. If you listen to Jones’
inflection and pronunciation you might think she grew up in Kentucky or
somewhere in the deep south (she was born in New York and transplanted
to Texas). She has a voice that’s thick as honey and sweet too. Although
I’ve noted “Turn Me On” as an album highlight, I think some of the
problems with the tracks are that they seem to end a little abruptly or
be incomplete – but my hunch is that was done to leave you wanting more.
”I’ve Got To See You Again” is
one of those songs that you wish there were more of. It’s a bit dark and
mysterious but so beautiful. Also at 4:18 it is the longest track on
the album and to me seems to be the most polished and stands as my
favorite. ”The Nearness Of You” reminds me of a Saturday morning. Just
the relaxed, lying in bed, laziness of it all – and this one is
evocative of old school jazz legends like Billie Holiday and Etta James.
