NoJo To Release New Tunes!

Filed under: Music Minute > Norah Jones

Norah Jones is back!

After a two year hiatus, NoJo will gracing our ears and (if she's lucky) airwaves with more music, and we're told that it might not be the sleepy jazz-infused stuff we're used to.

Supposedly, Norah has spent the last two years writing and experimenting with her music, collaborating with the likes of Ryan Adams, Okkervil River’s Will Sheff, and Jesse Harris.

Producing the album is the man behind Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, and Modest Mouse, Jacquire King.

The biggest change that fans will notice is that Norah ditches her piano in favor of more guitar for most of the tracks.

Norah says of the album:

" I knew I wanted to try some different things on this album. I’d been playing with the same musicians for a long time. We’re all still friendly and I hope we play together again, but it felt like a good time to work with new people and experiment with different sounds. As far as a producer, I wanted someone who could take me out of my comfort zone and find the right musicians to capture what I wanted to do with this collection of songs. I got in touch with Jacquire initially because he engineered one of my favorite records of all time, Tom Waits’ Mule Variations. He was really eager to do it and we got along really well, which was important.”

Sounds like it could be very interesting.

The album is due out in November.

Think U will pick it up?

    she is amazing!! Never liked her much until I saw her live last year at the Shoreline Benefit.
    First of all she is GORGEOUS in person!!!!
    And she is very very talented. Great voice, real musician, talented backup musicians, great set (a lot of old-style country, folky, jazz stuff). Just beautiful.

    I hope Norah doesn't ditch piano-playing altogether.
    .
    Tom Waits - unique and cool

    if i went around calling myself a musician and mingling with musicians, i ' d write my own music. I guess she sucks at that though since after all of these years, she still pays others to write the songs she sings. next..

    I'll listen to a few tracks online to see if it's worth buying. I was disappointed with her second CD, the first was much better.

    A lovely and talented female musician who is the living proof that there's no need of any scandals or naked asses (LadyGaGa?) if you got true talent.
