Feels Like Home - Norah Jones

Norah Jones is someone who I really didn’t think would be my cup of tea, but when my wife raved on so much about her debut album, I relented and gave it a listen, and was immediately transfixed by her voice and the songs that she sang.

Feels like home by Norah Jones really is a beautifully written album and I find it to be very relaxing to listen to. I bought this album for £12 from Virgin and you can get it from a whole range of online stores such as Amazon. This album was released in 2004 and is the second album by Norah Jones. I really found this album to be of a different style than I have ever heard before and it really is something different which is what I like most about it.

The album includes the very famous and popular "Sunrise" which has a beautiful introduction with a ...  Read the complete review

There is a familiar concept banded around in musical circles known as… "The difficult second album”. It is a phenomenon that rightly haunts many artists and there is good reason for it. Imagine you are a band or artist struggling round the circuit for years writing your material as your own whim and desire takes you, testing those songs in front of live audiences for years and then one day it happens, the contract is signed, the studio is booked and a successful album ensues. What could be better? Well very little, the problem arises a year later when the men in the suits call a meeting with you to say they want a follow up album that pushes you even further into ...  Read the complete review
