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├óΓé¼Γäód been playing with the same musicians for a long time. We├óΓé¼Γäóre 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├óΓé¼Γäó Mule Variations. He was really eager to do it and we got along really well, which was important.├óΓé¼┬¥
Sounds like it could be very interesting.
The album is due out in November.
Think U will pick it up?
