One-trick?  Utter nonsense.  Her work on RP reduces your argument to rubble in no time flat.

Norah has her time and place; I find she fits well on a rainy evening, cooking dinner or sipping wine.

Soothing and groovy.  7.

This is by far the best song on her new album (my opinion)
 
Definitely agree. Really love the use of elec. piano here, great bluesy progression, and terrific backing from the group (drums especially groovy.)

Should say though that her duet w/Dolly Parton on the same disc is really great as well.

Hotwired talent. Superb choice of material, superb musicians and superior vocal skills are her hallmark. Fabulous future ahead for both Norah and her listeners......

Still something about her music that feel 'artificial' - wish I could put my finger on why I feel that way - but this is much better than the overplayed breathy stuff I've heard previously.

I get the sense she's got some amazing pipes but just won't let 'em rip.

Much less snore-inducing than her most well-known first album. She even manages to sing somewhat louder than pianissimo.

I agree with you, but not at all surprised by the negative comments, the beauty of RP is the diversity... in music and in it's listeners

No more repetitive than Jones' lullabyes. Maybe the point was that it's still muzak no matter how much you attempt to cloak it in the vapid language of music critics. News flash -- it's still muzak.


Muzak is in the eye of the beholder. Now I have heard Son Volt's new song played at Home Depot (yeah, they're cool retailers!), but its a pretty safe bet you'll never hear Porcupine Tree at any similar venue/outlet.

This Norah Jones woman is pretty good. Her music is pretty much from the heart and its good background music. And she appeals to a lot of people.

Clue.

Retailers like to play music we know and recognize to make us feel more at home and willing to spend money because we feel catered to.

One of the things I really like about Norah Jones is her diversity of styles and genres. She's doing a lot of different things, most of them pretty darn well.

Oh yeah. She's smokin' hot, too.

Hey Picky,

Being that you've already said in an earlier post that YOU consider this to be Muzak, you're not only picky but also repetitive.

I just finished reading "Blink" and that was one of the stories in the book. It was about classical orchestras and the tryouts of female performers, and the solution that orchestras used to remove the "visual" bias during all tryouts.

Good mellow song, BTW. 7

Norah is one of those phenoms that just leaves me puzzled. I don't dislike her, but I don't find her to be super-sensation remarkable either. So it's hard to understand what the big deal is. Kind of like Lyle Lovett.

Now if she looked like Lyle Lovett and was still popular, that would be something.


I admit, I would be impressed too. Looks take on entirely too much meaning when it comes to women in the public sphere. It is damn near impossible for a journalist to write about a female artist without mentioning their appearance.
You might be able to buy the parts you werent given genetically, but otherwise, you dont control what face and body you received.

Norah also had a side project of the Little willies, and she collaborated on a track "Any Other Day"? with Wyclef Jean for a hurricane relief CD....those are pretty darn good. Not as low key jazzy as her solo things. This is a 5 to me.

Totally with you Cesare. I didn't like her at first either. This piece is really cool though. (Even on Amazon.com people either love or hate her music. No in-betweens!)
