Norah Jones

[spiteri]

Discovered Norah Jones thru RT's CD Pick of the Week. Got the CD last night and have been listening to it ever since. I recommend it!

[Gollum]

gusto ko rin bumili ng cd niya.

what does she sound like? maybe you want to do a review of her album....

:D

[raven23]

I just bought her CD last night on a whim. After listening to the first track "Don't Know Why", I knew I just had to buy the album.

From Amazon.com: It is not just the timbre of Norah Jones's 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 intimations of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone without sounding like anyone but herself. Anyway you slice it, she is a singer to be reckoned with. Her readings of the Hank Williams classic, "Cold Cold Heart" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" alone are worth the price of the CD.

[spiteri]

Gollum ..
Basta when you pass by a record store, listen to her CD and judge for yourself. I dont know but in some of the tracks, she kinda sounds like Ricky Lee Jones. Not that they have the same voice but more of the style of the songs.

raven23
Glad you liked it too. Galing ng "Dont Know Why" no? I also like "Seven Years" . A part of the refrain reminds me of an Eagle Eye Cherry song "Promises Made".

[tr|n|ty]

bought the CD almost 6 months back. great buy for 6 bucks too!! great voice but still needs a little more soul. ;)

[vandolph]

First time I heard her song Don't KNow Why, I thought it was Allana Davis singing. I liked the song instantly and started downloading all her songs.

Did you know that she is the daughter of the famous Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan?

[cherub_08]

:walkman2: i've been listening to the album in music bars and its good. *okay* she's only 22?

[raven23]

Yup, and I swear I think she's cute.

[Triglyceride]

she's awesome!!! Incredible voice....great piano skills!!!!!

I saw her perform when she opened for John Mayer last April :up: .... incredible!!!! She started her headlining tour this month :up: ...good for her!! She deserves it!!!!!!

I have her album Come away with me. I love it!! It's jazzy...blues-ey...romantic even.....

and another thing I like about her, in her video, she's not pa-cute :D

www.norahjones.com , here ya go :D


...my heart is drenched in wine
but you'll be on my mind
forever

out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
but I'll be a bag of bones
driving down the road alone....

She is the aural equivalent of a finely brewed cappuccino...

Correction...her dad's Ravi Shankar (which must account for her exotic looks)
:heartpump: :drool: :heartpump:

[Invictus]

I love her version of The Nearness of You.




She could very well give Diana Krall a run for her money.

[spiteri]

To be honest, I almost didnt get the CD cause she looked like a Britney/Christina/Mandy on the cover. :) (Sorry B/C/M fans..)

Ganun ba? Nabasa ko kasi dun sa isang write up, anak daw siya ni Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Thanks for the info.

hehehe, mabait po ako.

bibili pa rin ako ng cd niya para pandagdag sa mga panggastos niya. :D:D

(actually, di ako maka-download... hinaharang ng administrator dito sa office eh)

triglyceride: she fronted for john mayer at some point in her career di ba?

[tequilapj]

first heard about her through triglyceride here after she fronted for john mayer at the fillmore last april. (gollum: i think this is what you were talking about).

i was a bit skeptical about her when i first listened to samples of her songs online...pero she's not bad pala. bluesy but not boring...

listened to her album in music one a couple of weeks later...and i liked it! gollum, remember when we saw the video for one of her songs? remember how excited i was tapos you were making fun of the video kasi walang budget? ang sama mo! :rolleyes: pero ate weng likes her too. pinakinggan naman niya yung album sa tower and she wanted to buy it right then and there!

although i like her, andami ko pang naka-lineup na bibilhing cds before i get around to buying come away with me...

:walkman2:

[etoile69]

Magaling tong babaeng to. Saw her video. Kung anak ka ba naman ni Ravi Shankar pa'no ka ba naman di gagaling?

[cianoy]

Pero madami dyan anak nga ng magaling na singer/actor pero laos naman, gaya ni ....... :D

[TrueNorth]

discovered her when she guested in the late show/letterman.

wow! galeng niyang mag-live! the next day, i already started hunting for her album. it came a month or so after pa. but it was worth the wait!

she looks a lot like Rachel Weisz.

the 'don't know why' video was a little weird, though. o dahil i saw it in myx....

kung pinoy siya, dapat Norah Jhones. nyehehehe...

i hate the new myx! bleccch!

[Triglyceride]

There's a Norah Jones article in the latest issue of Rolling Stone (the one with Eminem on the cover).....very interesting...


here's what she has to say about her dad Ravi Shankar:

..another mark of her birth, that still troubles her greatly. Her father happens t be sitar King Ravi Shankar. Her mother and Shankar were only together briefly, and for the first nine years of er life, Jones saw him only bout nine times; then ten years went by with no contact. More recently, the two have been in touch, but she still doesn't like talking about him.

I don't like talking about him because he doesn't have anything to do with me or my music

Gollum, I think you might like this next one, it's about her video :glee:

.....backstage, seeming stressed out , she spoke at length to her tour manager about the demands being made on her. " I've given in to everything the record company has asked for, even the dumb-***, really bad video," Jones said ( LOL. ) " Then people told me this was going to be a European tour, but I get here and it's all mostly press.So then I'm a pain in the *** and sy, ' No, I'm not doing it, no way'; but ten minutes later, they've convinced me to f*cking do it."


Jones reaction when the host of a popular Amsterdam tv show host introduced her as Ravi Shankar's daughter:

....the host introduced her as as Shankar's daughter, even though he had ben asked not to because it would upset Jones. And it did. SItting at her piano, she looked wilted and hurt.

Afterwards, she was able to stifle her tears but not her feelings.

" That was not cool", she said to her Dutch rep. " It's just, like, f*ck, if I had a good relationship with my dad, fine. But you know what? That's my f*cking one thing! My one thing! I almost got up and walked off. You saw my face. I don't even want to be on a goddamn national tv show if tha's how it's going to be; I just don't.Maybe it's childish, but it's my life."

hot and cold:

suddenly she spun around and faced us (rolling stone people).
"Don't you have enough et?" she shouted in our direction. " Haven't we given you enough?"

We blanched, fearing more and worse, but Jones was only kidding. In fac, she was laughing, and soon we were laughing too.

..angry one minute, full of humor the next....

- The Hot side of a Cool Chanteuse by Erik Hedegaard, Rolling Stone July 4-11, 2002

oh yeah she calls her music:

soft-****-rock :nope:

[surot]

i think norah jones has a great voice. just imagine how she'd sound like 5, 10 years from now when she has matured. she'd be pretty soulful.

had been waiting for her cd release here in pinas for months since my bro kept raving about her. my lucky bro and mom were able to watch her perform in ny at the townhall last month. mamatay ako sa inggit. :twitch:

[sobrevivre]

the first 2 tracks, "dont know why" and "seven years" are current faves! :) she's great!

[etoile69]

soft - **** - rock ... i really like that. :D

[tripnotichick]

ganda ng boses nya...her sound's very unique, and i have to hand it to her kasi she's young and she's not your typical teeny bopper singer. most people appreciate her for her music and not the other "goods" that she has(coz she's definitely pretty).

the music video wasnt really that great but the song & the melody..and her voice. it's just the loveliest comination! :bounce2:

[Triglyceride]

More than this:

Miss Norah Jones , album: Jazz Chillout ( I wanted to buy it but it was too expensive...any cds that would cost more than $12 should be illegal) .


Jones also has a cover for Willie Nelson's Crazy


I tried so hard my dear to show
that you're my every dream
yet you're afraid each thing I do
is just an evil scheme ...

:walkman2:

[Tes26]

She is awesome...her voice reminds me of Ella Fitzgerald's voice!! I just recently just discovered her...she's good!!

[pablo_neruda]

nice to know a lot of you guys like her music! i first saw her when she performed in Jay Leno's Tonight Show...& i was like....woah! galing! then after that i started looking for her cd na...& when i got it..sobrang worth ng money!!!

[spiteri]

Any info when and where shes coming out next?
TV show I mean..
Nasa Manila ako. :)

Thanks!

(medyo di nya dig ang music ni norah:( ) balitaan kita kung makapanood kami!:)

[spiteri]

Hope you get to watch.
Let us know if she's as good live.
:)

[candy apple red]

i love "don't know why"! i bought the album because of it... ;)

[cHarL!e's AngEL]

i just downloaded "Come Away With Me", "The Nearness of You", and a live version of 'Don't Know Why"..love them all :beam: i think i'll go buy her album! :glee: it's on the top 10 list ata sa Tower e *okay* is it just me or does she look a bit like Shannyn Sossamon? :hmm:

[JediKnight]

before i have completely no interest on jazz music. the first thing that used to come out of my mind upon hearing the word "jazz" is "SAXOPHONE". HOWEVER, after listening to just sample audios of Norah's music, i suddenly gained A LOT of interest in this genre! i downloaded her songs and a couple of other jazz music. i even checked out jazz websites like allaboutjazz.com. i was even surprised to know that one of my favorite female vocalists patti austin sings jazz too. anyway, i guess i owe Norah a lot for introducing me to the wonderful music that is called JAZZ!

[superman_4ph]

omigod!!! i saw her like a month ago featured on cnn's the music room. and eversince i've been looking for her in every music store. gladly i found her cd in tower records alabang. she melts my cold cold heart :)

i love her. im gonna download her songs too from the official site. maganda daw *** versions e. live. norah jones is one of a kind.

[superman_4ph]

I've tried so hard, my dear, to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart?

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is payin' for things I didn't do
In anger, unkind words I say that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart?

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart?

[JediKnight]

sana ipalabas bukas yung guesting niya sa THE TONIGHT SHOW W/ JAY LENO.

trigly/ pj:
see... iwas right... her video sucks. even she had to admit to it.

but her music, however, is a different matter.

i FINALLY bought my own copy of [I]come away with me[I].

she has this really soothing voice that i love to listen to as i fall asleep.

she's one awesome songwriter.

i like her renditions of cold, cold heart and the nearness of you. she retained the melodies of the original, but she added intricacies of her own.

her music is, simultaneously, jazz, country, pop, rock, with a touch of world music (perhaps she got it from her dad).

i also loved lonestar, because of it's country, jazzy fusion. very peculiar.

but the one track that really stood out for me was the title track, come away with me.

for some reason, it got to me. when i first listened to it, i almost cried. ewan ko. the way she sung her piece was so... sincere, i couldn't help but think that she was singing it for me.

gosh. i have to go out more.

MTV Asia Sessions: Norah Jones

October 9 Wednesday 2:00 PM

[AnGeLJoLi]

I like her, specially her soothing voice!! Masarap maging background habang naglalabing-labing. :glee: BTW, askmen.com rated her 81% (which is relatively high, basing by their standards)

[Triglyceride]

you guys the local station here called Alice 97.3 is realeasing their Volume 6 album - and it includes Norah Jones "don't know why" live at The Lounge - this version is awesome :up:

and guess who I saw on tv today? Sitar Player and Norah's daddy Ravi Shankar - he said he's proud of Norah but he doesn't take credit for her music, because she's jazz..blah blah. He plays with his other daughter too.

and Ravi's old - he's 82 good lord! :D


but he could really play the sitar like there's no tommorrow :up:

On another note, does anyone know if MTV Asia has shown Diana Krall's Paris concert here?

[cHarL!e's AngEL]

sorry..it was replayed last Oct. 24 @ 8:30 but i couldn't get into pex in a long time so ididn't see this. i wasn't able to start it din..let's just hope they replay it again :wink:

my new fave Norah songs: One Flight Down & Shoot the Moon :lovesigh:

[claidi]

does anybody here have a copy of her live albums? :mconfused:

[miss_d]

so this is the old thread... i posted a new norah jones thread, not knowing that there was an existing one already, silly me:)

anyway, i love norah jones! come away with is my fave, by far. haven't gotten around to buying the whole album though.

i was actually planning to put together a cd with norah-type music, yung medyo jazzy. i haven't completed the playlist but i have in mind a few songs already (diana krall, sting, george benson, matt damon's my funny valentine from the talented mr. ripley soundtrack, etc.) if you can think of any other songs that would fit, let me know. --> sorry off-topic!

[Triglyceride]

Grace - is she releasing a live cd? :confused:

Alice Music Vol. 6(?)

featuring Norah Jones live at the Alice Lounge - :up: I got a copy, it's a compilation cd actually with Creed, Wilco, Coldplay, Alanis, BNL etc...


Starbucks

I saw that one of their CDs has Norah Jones in it, and it's not a song from her album Come Away with me.

Norah goes to Vanity Fair

check out the November issue - the one with Gwen, J-lo, Sheryl Crow and Alicia keys on the cover..it's a gatefold cover and next to Alicia...Norah Jones. You can't see her at the front cover. There's also an article about her inside.


Women in Rock, Rolling Stone, from rollingstone.com

~~~

Norah Jones

She sings ballads. Loves jazz. And doesn't want to be famous. She's the untrendiest new star of 2002


In the age of Pink and Avril Lavigne, there's no good reason for Norah Jones to have a gold record. She's a pop vocalist and pianist who sings ballads and has no connection to trends of the moment. Yet her debut, Come Away With Me, is the surprise word-of-mouth success of the year. A native Texan, Jones was discovered after moving to New York, where she spent her late-teen years providing unobtrusive background music at various Italian restaurants. Raised by a single mom, Jones never knew her famous father, the legendary Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar, and she doesn't like to discuss him in interviews. She doesn't, truth be told, like interviews at all. Working on a plate of takeout Thai food, Jones constantly pauses to ask if she's rambling. Though informed, repeatedly, that she's not, she seems skeptical and continues reluctantly.

Who were your influences growing up?

I started listening to my mom's Etta James and Aretha Franklin records in fifth grade. Joni Mitchell, but not until college. Billie Holiday in high school. In high school you wanna be depressed -- you're moody.

So you didn't try to find music to piss off your parents?

No, my mom had cool music. I guess Nirvana was the only thing she didn't like, just because it was loud.

Was it harder to find female jazz musicians to look up to?

There are a lot of great female jazz musicians, but they're harder to find. Especially nonsingers.

Tell me about your first gigs.

I did jazz standards at a restaurant. The crowd-pleasers were always Sinatra songs. The only one I wouldn't do was "My Way." It sounds beautiful when Sinatra sings it, but I'm gonna sound like an idiot: "I did it my way. . . ." I'm twenty years old! I can't even drink yet! I didn't have the balls to sing that.

Who do you admire now?

Gillian Welch. Alison Krauss. Alicia Keys is really cool.

Any thoughts on Britney Spears and other girl-pop singers?

She came out when I was in college, and I was a little bit disgusted. I remember seeing pictures of her when she was, like, fifteen, and they were pornographic. That really disturbed me. Back then, I didn't know anything about the music industry. All I knew was that I liked Billie Holiday and I was gonna be a jazz pianist and a singer, damn it! I was a total nerd. Now, I mean, I don't listen to that kind of music, but I don't have a problem with it. She's grown up now, she can do what she wants.

As a crossover jazz artist, have you had to do any weird marketing stuff?

When I first hooked up with Blue Note, I was worried that jazz purists would totally slam me, because it's not a jazz record at all. I know that. They know that. But I didn't want to be on a pop label, because I know what comes with that. I didn't want to make videos. I didn't want to be expected to sell millions of records. I didn't ever want to be a celebrity. If I did, I sure as hell wouldn't have signed with Blue Note. Not that I had any other offers. But I would have tried.

Anything you've refused to do?

No [sighs]. They've pretty much convinced me to do a lot of things I didn't really want to. I did a video. Now they want me to remake it. They want it bigger and better! I don't get it. I didn't want to be in it at all. I wanted it to be like a Gorillaz thing, with animation.

It has to be a conflict, because you want people to hear your record.

Yeah, but to be honest? More people have heard my album than I've ever dreamed of, so it's like, "Whoa! Stop the presses! We're cool. Dude, that's enough." Seriously. I made it a year and a half ago. I'm so sick of it. I mean, I'm proud of it. But I'm totally sick of it. I wanna see an end to this record. I know it'll all be over in five years, and I'll be like, "Hey! Remember me?" So I'm not complaining. But I really did not sign up for this. I wanted some part of it. But I didn't want all the work that goes along with it.

wish this will be shown here:

Norah Jones will perform "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" on a one hour special tribute on Elvis for NBC TV. The show is tentatively entitled "Elvis 2002" and will be a collection of stories, observations, perspectives and various musical performance segments. Confirmed performers thus far are U2, Dave Matthews and No Doubt. Lisa Maria is close to coming on board as well. The lineup of interviewees include Bono, Sheryl Crow, Britney Spears, Vince Vaughan, Sarah Jessica Parker and Bill Clinton. There are many other artists waiting to be confirmed.

Norah's segment was filmed at the Windmill Lane Studio in Dublin Ireland on October 5th.

The hour-long program will air in on NBC-TV at 10:00PM on November 28th (Thanksgiving evening) and around the world shortly thereafter (in December) on the highest profile television networks.

Please do us a very big favor. If you can record the show, even just the segment of Norah Jones, and convert it to mpeg format, send it to us. :D

i've been passing by the norah jones display in record stores for months now. and it was only 2 weeks ago that i bought it. and only now that i've jumped into this thread. norah is amazing. and i'm surprised that i'm just the 2nd person here whose fave song on the cd is shoot the moon.

i can't believe she's that angst-ful. but she makes great music, so i don't care.

I'm with you on Shoot the Moon although I don;t think she's angst-ful. It's more of a melancholy groove.

[noodle15]

i like norah jones too! im buying the album this weekend. :D

[damnbaby]

I bought her album on impluse, actually. I heard it while having lunch at a cafe and it was just so soothing! I didn't know her other songs except for Don't Know Why. While listening to the CD in the car on the way home, by the 8th track, my whole family was asleep!! My dad was complaining how it's making him sleepy as well -- and he's driving! :glee:

love her voice! my P450 was very well-spent. *okay*

Thats true. When I just got my CD of Norah Jones, Id listen to it when Im about to sleep and I swear, hindi ako umaabot sa 4th song, nakakatulog na ko! Not that its boring but because its so soothing and relaxing that youll really fall asleep. :)

[Triglyceride]

if you guys are getting SNL (Saturday Night Life), check it out, Norah Jones is the musical guest ..TONIGHT!!!


Come away with me is the only album that I could listen to while studying..that's THE ONLY ALBUM.


a few weeks ago,as I was sitting in class, waiting for it to start , I heard a familiar tune....I couldn't place it first. It sounded like it was coming from a discman with the volume way up..and I mean ear-shattering max...and then I finally recognized it. I said to the girl I was talking to Someone is playing Norah Jones... and I kept on looking around until I saw this guy, who was seated at the other side of the room. Yes, ALL THE WAY at the other side and he was just ...he was immersed in Norah Jones, eyes-closed, his hands, gently slapping his desk, his head swaying....:glee:...he had Don't know why on repeat and this other girl and I were kinda giggling amongst ourselves. I mean, the album Come Away With Me is not really the type of music that you turn up your discman to you know..:D


oh I don't know..:D, just thought I'd share..

[Triglyceride]

I can never fall asleep when I listen to her songs. Coz I'm always singing along! :lol:

But I love her. I love her. I love her. I love her. I can never get enough of her. If only I had all the money in the world, I'd give everyone I know a copy of her album. But alas, what can I do? I don't have the money. Oh well....

Norah Jones - Number 9 on Ew Entertainers of the Year 2002

http://a552.g.akamai.net/f/552/606/1d/image.pathfinder.com/ew/dynamic/imgs/021212/145138__norahjones_l.jpg

There's an aphorism that goes something like this: in a crowd full of bellowers, a whisperer can be the loudest mouth in the room. That's as good an explanation as any for how it was that Norah Jones' less-than-stentorian tones, in the midst of this year's vocal cross fire between Christina, Avril, Shakira, Madonna, and Britney, came through clearest. ''Come away with me in the night,'' she sang, making an offer that few among us could miss hearing...or refuse.

When it came out in February, the chances of something as exquisitely underplayed and undersung as Jones' debut going double platinum and lodging in the top 10 seemed about as likely as the Angels winning the Series. But even kids who'd never bought an album on a jazz label like Blue Note before were bewitched by ''Come Away With Me'''s acoustic blend of bop and pop. Jones instantly became our sultry siren of song, reviving the ideal of the wounded romantic who spends the wee hours pining and being pined for -- Frank and Ava rolled up into one alluring package.

There's just one problem. ''It's funny, this image thing,'' says the 23-year-old singer-songwriter. ''Because I'm not soft-spoken and romantic, at all. I must be, somewhere deep down, otherwise I wouldn't like that kind of music. But I'm only like that when I'm on stage. I'm pretty much just loudmouthed, obnoxious, and silly. But when I meet new people, I'm shy, and that's why I'm shy on stage -- because those are people I haven't met.''

Shyness is easily conflated with sultriness, come to think of it. But it's a mistake we're happy to perpetuate, since picturing Jones as the pinnacle of cool makes the music's spell that much more enveloping. Not that we should always expect her to be this tranquil. Jones, who seems a virtual shoo-in for this February's Best New Artist Grammy, allows that she could head in any number of directions. ''Sometimes I want to sing jazz again,'' says the woman who studied jazz piano for seven years. Other times, ''I want to play guitar in a rock band!''

Might we even see her rock out? She laughs and warns: ''You know, my version of 'rock out' is very low-key.'' We're all ears. --by Chris Willman

_____________________________________________

Come Away With Me is at the 10th Best Album for 2002

Come Away With Me Norah Jones (Blue Note) A sleeper album, for sure -- and also at times a little too sleepy for its own good. But the understated charms of Jones' debut, from her smoky-lite voice to the casual spaciousness of the music, sneak up on you more and more with each listen. She recalls the young Bonnie Raitt and the very drowsy Mose Allison but, miraculously, doesn't appear to be mimicking anyone. Don't call it a jazz comeback -- she's more of a roots chanteuse than anything else -- but do call it a serene cup of decaf-tea pop that deserved its left-field success.

just wanna share though...i like this girl...*okay*

[Triglyceride]

:lol: ...... may I clarify some things? :D


on Jones and Mayer....


Jones toured with Mayer spring of this year, Jones was the opening act for Mayer but she then started a headlining tour summer of this year.


During the MTV music awards, Jones was sitting along with Mayer and Scotty Crowe (you'll know about him in a bit..in case you don't know who he is), the Mayer camp also saw Jones in Oregon, in one of her headlining shows.

....not that I have some say to it, but from the looks of it,they are very good friends. Jones is dating her bassist and John, well, I know him and Carlton aren't dating anymore,neither is Hewitt.

and who is Scotty Crowe? Scotty Crowe is Mayer's road journal guy and here's a road journal entry that might interest you Norah Jones fans (and Mayer fans alike)


from www.johnmayer.com

Upon arriving at LAX, we prepared for rehearsals for the VH1 Big in 2002 Awards. It was at an old boxing auditorium. The John Mayer and Norah Jones entities were performing a bit together – so our crews meshed like trucker hats and marinated on reminiscences. So we hung out and ate Mexican at a place that was so dark I felt like I should have been developing pictures. This was on Tuesday, by the way.




so if you guys have VH1 check out their Big in 2002 awards on Dec. 15th, Mayer and Jones are going to be performing together..


and just useless trivia:

John Mayer and Norah Jones performed a song called Bessie Smith together last April, in SF.

[Triglyceride]

Norah played Don't Know Why and it flowed into Mayer's YBIAW..

she also won an awar,what for, I forgot, but here's a pic from vh1.com

http://www.vh1.com/sitewide/img/pg/main/3268.jpg

Come Away with Me ranks at #2 in the EOnline TOP 25 Cds of 2002

[vandolph]

Myx aired a special last night: Elvis Lives, a documentary on Elvis Presley with some artists doing cover versions of Elvis songs like Dave Matthews and No Doubt.

Nora Jones was in the special. She sand Are You Lonesome Tonight?

[spiteri]

Just bought another Come Away With Me CD, this time as a Christmas gift for my best friend. She loves it!!!

[nheo]

I like The Nearness of You :)

[impeachableone]

Oh my....I love her music!

[Triglyceride]

I am 200% sure she will be nominated for a grammy ...

I heard track 2 (forgot the title) on the radio a couple of weeks ago sunlight slipped herself below my door...

and I heard that on her next album, there's going to be more guitar in it...

yay!!! I'm glad she's making a second album, I really thought she's gotten so sick about being a rocking jazz chanteuse from all of the articles I've read, I really thought she'd never do it again...glad to hear she's b*tch slapping the cruel music industry.

[Triglyceride]

thank you Grace :)

Norah Jones Doesn't Like to Work Out
Jun 18, 9:32 AM EST

Norah Jones won't be taking exercise equipment on tour with her this summer — because she doesn't have any.

"I've never worked out. In fact, I need to lose a few pounds," said the Grammy-winning singer, although her slender shape contradicts her. "I don't care if I'm a little chubby. I love to eat way too much."

Actually, Jones says she has worked out — once.

"I'm just not good at it," the 24-year-old told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

Instead of exercise, she likes to dine out with friends and watch television when her schedule allows.

Her favorite shows? Sitcoms.

"I'm like a zombie. My boyfriend, he makes fun of me, because I'm always talking about what's going on with Rachel and Chandler," she laughed, referring to two of the characters on NBC's "Friends."

"He's like, `Oh my God, you're such a nerd, you call them by their names, like they're your friends next door.'"


Our girl Norah doesnt like working out.. Cute..

[cHarL!e's AngEL]

aww Norah loves Friends too! i call them by their first names din..does that mean i'm a nerd like her? :glee:

[bugsbunny]

Her music is quite soothing. My girl friends and I were just listening to her earlier in the car. And when we were hanging out in Seattle's Best - they were also playing Come Away With Me.

*okay* *pusa*

[bugsbunny]

hey, norahnians! :wave:

http://hometown.aol.com/charmed4evah17/images/aiken.gif

[Triglyceride]

here's what I've just found out :


Norah Jones will be playing at THe FIllmore (SF) on August 1..

I would've bought tickets for it really (because it just went on sale last weekend)

but holy cow Aug 1 is the day I get to see DMB

damn it!

[claidi]

finally have a copy of norah's version of more than this ! thanks to a compilation released by EMI!

but the reason i really bought it is because of dave m's version of ani di franco's joyful girl. yipee :bounce:

[Triglyceride]

hi Grace :)

I just heard a clip of NJ's "new" song, but it's going to be in a different album, from my understanding, she's a guest in the album..I don't know who the artist was. It's a beautiful song though.

[cHarL!e's AngEL]

what's the title? :)

[Triglyceride]

I honestly can't remember..... but the lines that I've heard sounded like this:


" New York...you're such a beautiful disease"...


or something :D

sorry. :)

[spiteri]

Norah joined Dolly Parton on stage at The 2003 37th Annual CMA Awards. The event aired live from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday, November 5th on the CBS Television Network. The duo performed “The Grass Is Blue,” a Parton song recorded by Jones for the tribute album Just Because I’m A Woman: The Songs of Dolly Parton released on October 14th.

Norah graces the cover of the November 2003 Music Issue of Vanity Fair. Also shown on the cover are Willie Nelson, Queen Latifah, James Taylor, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Anthony Kiedas, Lucinda Williams, and others. The issue is available at newstands now.

Norah contributes a verse to one song on the latest release from hip-hop group Outkast. The song is entitled "Take Off Your Cool" from the album 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.'

i saw an album at tower records entitled NEW YORK CITY. the album features Peter Malick with NJ. she provides vocals on 6 of the 7 tracks in the album. heard clips on the net. they seem promising

[bugsbunny]

hey norahnians! :wave:

[spiteri]

Welcome to our newest Norahnian, shoooger!!! :D

Hey bugs!!!

[spiteri]

I think its cool of NJ to still use her own clothes during photo shoots. :)

[spiteri]

Nagkanda-hilo hilo ako kahahanap ng nabaon nating thread! :D

[bugsbunny]

:lol:

matagal din nating hindi nabisita ang thread na ito. :D

may news kanina sa PDI.

an Indian director is making a movie about a father who abandons his wife and daughter. the daughter then grows up to become a Grammy winner and eventually reunites with her father.

familiar much?

well except for the reuniting thing.

needless to say, the Shankar and Jones family are very upset about this, according to the article.

[rhowze]

okae lang siya...
nakakarelax *** music nia.
ahehehehe!:p

[pac_maniac2]

norahnians, go get a copy of new york city. an album by peter malick feat. norah jones. this is a great album. all seven tracks feature NJ on vocals. i actually like the songs here more than the ones in come away with me. it shows NJ's versatility.

[spiteri]

Thanks for the info, pac_maniac2!

She also has a song in the album "A Very Special Acoustic Christmas".

[spiteri]

baka mabaon na naman..

[bugsbunny]

Our girl won best-selling pop female artist at the World Music Awards.

Here's the link to the article: http://u.presstelegram.com/Stories/0,1413,218~29728~1696045,00.html

I'm still not used to the fact that NJ's music is considered pop when even music stores put her CD in the jazz section. Wala lang. Note lang.

Norah Jones rocks! :rocker:

[dindi]

Talented? Maybe. Jazz? Hell, no.

Congrats, NJ!

Tagal ng second album.. :zzz:

[bugsbunny]

Did she start recording for her 2nd album na ba?

[Triglyceride]

hi Techie hi Jaq hi everyone :wave:

I read in Vogue (she was on the cover of it too along with Queen Latifah, Anthony Keidis..and that underserving Liz Phair (bleh) to name a few)...

she said she's in no rush to make the second album although Blue Note is trying to put the pressure on her..

naman eh..ang tagal! :D

I heard her song New York City on the radio - BEAUTIFUL! :up:

:lol: it always makes me laugh when I read NoraHnians

[Triglyceride]

Jaq..oh gosh I totally missed that post of yours...you were here last August and I didn't even know about it :( I'm close to SF ( I got to school there ) :D

[bugsbunny]

antagal tagal naman ng second album niya!

hehe.

hey techie, reena, norahnians!

reena, don't worry, di ako natuloy nung august. i might go next year though. maybe ill see you then. :D

[spiteri]

Hi Reena, Jaq!

[Triglyceride]

hi Techie hi Jaq

Jaq- let me know! :D

I've been told that she's part of the Willie Nelson (sp) compilation, she did a cover for Crazy (doesn't everyone?)

....I remember when I first heard her sing Crazy at the Fillmore....wow...it's been almost 2 years and I only spent $20 to see her..

now I have to pay at least $50 to see her show..oh dear.

:walkman2:

[spiteri]

Hey Reena!

I love NJ's "Crazy"!!! Didnt know it was a popular song to cover. :D

Still waiting for that second album... :zzz:

[pac_maniac2]

i read somewhere the second album is going to be a "funkier" one. parang ok yon. after listening to new york city, i'm beginning to see her in a different light. i like her as a mellow chick but i think i'm gonna love her more doing groovier stuff :)

[bugsbunny]

hehe. when you said groovier stuff, i kept picturing her playing at brady bunch movie with greg brady. hehe.

but i am looking forward to it!

hey techie, reena!

[bugsbunny]

[spiteri]

From http://www.norahjones.info

From Lost Highway Records comes "A Very Special Acoustic Christmas", the sixth album in the acclaimed "A Very Special Christmas" series. The sixth edition is a combination of new and old acoustic-based Christmas songs performed by an array of artists, including NORAH JONES, Rhonda Vincent, and Alison Krauss. As with the previous five "A Very Special Christmas" releases, all proceeds will benefit Special Olympics. CMT, a partner in the development of the album, will promote "A Very Special Acoustic Christmas" nationally throughout the network's 70.4 million U.S. television households, as well as CMT's other entities including CMT.com and CMT Radio Network. Speaking of CMT.com, they currently have Norah Jones and Rhonda Vincent in the Top 20 video Countdown.

Hi Trig! (Reena right?) Thanks for the welcome. Yeah i think nakapagpost nako dito a few times.

I've been a norahnian since the first time i heard her voice. I like the debut album so much but i must say mas na-inlove ako sa NEW YORK CITY. :) if there's any female artist that i'd really wanna see live, it's her. sana siya na lang pumunta dito.

by the way, you might wanna check out the TOM MCRAE thread :) if not for PJ i wouldnt have discovered his music. spiteri, i'm pretty sure you gonna like him the way you like alexi murdoch:p


but for now, NJ muna tayo! sana wag siya tawaging diva... panget diva? LOL

[bugsbunny]

hey reena, techie, pedi! :wave:

kelan kaya pupunta dito si NJ?

[spiteri]

Sige, will check him out. :)

[Triglyceride]

hi Pedi hi Techie hi Jaq and everyone

Pedi..so TM is PJ's recommendation - I'm sold :D

[pac_maniac2]

not exactly reena. if i'm not mistaken PJ has yet to hear anything from TM. he just happened to see his cd in TOWER rack and asked me kung familiar. so i checked his site and listened to the clips. one minute into the first song (karaoke soul), i was already impressed. after the 2nd song (you cut her hair) i became a fan ;)

now after listening to some tracks from the debut album and the entire 2nd cd, he can easily land in top 5 list of my favorite singer/songwriters of all time. damien rice still on top of course ;)

[Triglyceride]

ohhh... gotcha! :D

what's the name of the band that Norah Jones collaborated with in the production of the song New York City? ... I could see the album in my head but I don't remember their name..and also, correct me if I'm wrong you guys, I was under the impression that this CD which has 7 tracks has Norah Jones singing in all the tracks..but it's not a Norah Jones album per se....

[spiteri]

Hi Reena!

Checked the net.. its Peter Malick Group. :)

[spiteri]

Bought na the New York City CD! Love it! I like the bluesy Norah. The songs in the album fit her well, bagay sa voice nya. *okay*

[bugsbunny]

shucks! really? haven't bought it yet since there's a chance i might get the CD for christmas kasi eh. pressure!

[spiteri]

Hey Jaq! Sige dont buy it muna. Sayang naman if its on your wishlist.. Do tell us what you think of the CD..

[cherub_08]

ei spiteri...you bought na the New York album? how many tracks are there? 7? 8? i'm sooo tempted to buy the album pero konti lang songs...aarrrghhh...i've also listened to the songs...galing galing...it's different from her album..i like how she sang the songs...decisions, decisions.. lol

i'd like to see her perform live in an intimate setting :D .... pamatay sigurado 'to . . . Norah, when are you coming to the Phils??

[pac_maniac2]
