- Little Broken Hearts, 2012. “I’m a big Norah fan and bottom line, Norah makes great music. This album isn’t my favorite – I’m in love with her first two albums and I never listened to all the way through the two before this most recent one.

One of Jones’ career highs was being invited by the late Ray Charles to duet with him on this stunning revamp of the R&B legend’s 1967 ABC single. Despite the contrasting textures of the two singers’ voices, they complement each other beautifully. The recording also featured a sanctified organ solo by Billy Preston and went on to net two Grammys. I...
Away from her solo career, Jones is part of two informal groups: The Little Willies and an all-female trio, Puss N Boots. With the latter, she sang this warm rendition of a Wilco song penned by the alt.country band’s Jeff Tweedy. Vocal harmonies come from Sasha Dobson and Catherine Popper. The track featured on the group’s first Blue Note album, No...
Defined by a jaunty two-step rhythm, this country-flecked kiss-off song found Jones once again joining forces with Jesse Harris, writer of her debut smash, “Don’t Know Why.” Barbed and recriminatory in tone, “Tell Your Mama” casts Jones in the role of a long-suffering lover who has seen the light and vows not to waste her time with someone who has ...
Norah Jones has participated in several side projects during her 18-year career, one of which is her membership in the country supergroup The Little Willies. “Love Me,” lifted from the first of their two albums, is the band’s most famous tune: a plangent cover of a classic 50s Elvis Presley-associated Leiber & Stoller number. Jones stays true to th...
Jones put her own inimitable and alluring spin on this, The Righteous Brothers’ 1965 blue-eyed soul classic, for the soundtrack to the Amazon TV series The Man In The High Castle, based on a dystopian story by sci-fi writer Philip K Dick. Producer Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton), who had worked with Jones on her 2012 album, Little Broken Hearts, he...
One of the more accessible moments from Little Broken Hearts, Jones’ surprising collaboration with Danger Mouse, “Happy Pills” is a chugging pop-rocker about exorcising the ghost of a failed love affair. Co-written by the singer with her producer, “Happy Pills” saw Jones chart in Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart for the first time, where the record...
Jones’ seamless fusion of gospel and country elements reflects two of her main musical influences, Ray Charles and Willie Nelson. Their presence, though filtered through Jones’ sensibility, is felt in the sonic DNA of this subdued winter-themed ballad penned with Wilco guitarist and producer Jeff Tweedy. Released first as a single, it later appeare...
Written by Jones with co-producer Sarah Oda, “Tragedy” is one of the outstanding songs on the singer’s sixth album, Day Breaks, which witnessed her return to the acoustic piano-led style of her earlier records. It’s a mellow romantic ballad whose vocals – and, indeed, minimalist piano solo – encapsulate Jones’ understated style.
One of the standout tracks on Little Broken Hearts, an album Jones created in tandem with producer Danger Mouse during the aftermath of a romantic break-up. An oblique reflection on the events that led to the lovers parting ways, Jones’ voice achieves an ethereal, siren-like quality as it floats over a dense, bubbling tapestry of intermingled guita...
Though the musical backdrop to this, the infectious, Grammy-nominated lead single from Jones’ The Fallalbum, was radically different from anything she had done before, there was no mistaking Jones’ beautiful voice. Written by Jones and produced by Kings Of Leon collaborator Jacquire King, “Chasing Pirates,” with its whimsical tone and fuzzy, rock-t...
