Norah Jones "...Featuring" Album Review





RECORDED FROM 2001 TO 2010, THE CAMEOS, DUETS AND COLLABORATIONS ON THIS COMPILATION SPAN THE MUSICAL SPECTRUM AND SHOW NORAH JONES TO BE ONE OF THE DECADE'S MOST DIVERSE MUSICAL CONNECTORS.



“It's so exciting and flattering and fun when I get asked to sing with somebody that I admire,” says Jones. “It takes you a little bit out of your comfort zone when you're doing something with another artist. You don't know what to expect—it's kind of like being a little kid and having a playdate.”


I remember the first Norah Jones song I ever heard "Come Away With Me", I instantly was drawn to her soft, mellow, beautiful tone. Her music is a blend of  acoustic pop with soul and jazz.

This new album "...Featuring" is a compilation of Norah Jones' features with other artists across all musical genres. From songs with Talib Kweli to the Foo Fighters, each track has a unique sound and feel.

Music is something that connects us, and Norah Jones' work as showcased in this album has done just that. Combining and creating new sound is what Norah Jones has been known for since the beginning, and these collaborations are something all music lovers can enjoy.
