It is not just the timbre of Norah Joness voice that is mature beyond her 22 years. Her assured phrasing and precise time are more often found in older singers as well. She is instantly recognizable, blending shades of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone without sounding like anyone but herself. Any way you slice it, she is a singer to be reckoned with. Her readings of the Hank Williams classic "Cold Cold Heart" and Hoagy Carmichaels "The Nearness of You" alone are worth the price of the CD. Joness own material, while not bad, pales a bit next to such masterpieces. They might have fared better had she and producer Arif Mardin opted for some livelier arrangements, taking better advantage of brilliant sidemen such as Bill Frisell, Kevin Breit, and Brian Blade or if the tunes had simply been given less laconic performances. Jones has all the tools what will come with experience and some careful listening to artists like J.J. Cale and Shirley Horn is the knack of remaining low-key without sounding sleepy--sometimes less is not, in fact, more. --Michael Ross

Norah has a wonderful voice and the arrangements of these tracks are carefully done...not over orchestrated at all. Good job good album
A Classic
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
This album will be recorded as a classic in music history. Love Norahs airy and sultry sound...such relaxing music. I can listen to her music over and over again. A new emerging singer-songwriter I recently discovered reminds me a little of Norah Jones with a little Fiona Apple tossed in Arrica Rose. Her latest CD La La Lost is her best to date.
Not impressed!

I really dont see what some see in Norah Jones. Her music is uninspiring and one-dimensional.
Pure Pleasure
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
After seeing her on a tribute to Elvis Presley I immediately went to Amazon.com to listen to some samples of her music. I settled on the CD titled Come Away With Me ... which I just love. Her voice is so comforting to listen to and I play it just about every day. Now that I have one of her CDs I intend to purchase more.
A Modern Classic
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
I purchased this cd shortly after it came out. It is a cd I put on when I want to gentle my mind. Her voice is warm and her phrasing is perfection. Every time winter comes around I listen to her constantly..Especially if its rainy and cold. Her music just beckons for a glass of warm wine and a good book. A must have for any music lover. The songs "dont know why" & "come away with me" illustrate the great things about being in love and all of its dynamics.
