Until now, and from now on.
Her singing voice will always give you a gentle push.
The long-awaited new album, produced by Rion Michaels, is the first in about four years.
◆Norah Jones has won nine Grammy Awards so far, and her performance in Japan in 2022, her first in five years, also attracted a lot of attention. Since then, he has collaborated with artists such as LaVey, Dave Grohl, Robert Glasper, and Logic, who appeared on his own podcast "Norah Jones Is Playing Along," and has actively released releases such as the deluxe edition of "Little Broken Hearts." She has decided to release her long-awaited new album, her 9th.
◆This work was produced by Rion Michaels, who also worked on Nora's first Christmas album, “I Dream of Christmas,” which was released in 2021. This is their first original album in about four years since 2020's "Pick Me Up Off the Floor," and almost all parts were recorded by Nora and Leon. The 12 songs included are vibrant and full of positivity, such as feeling free, wanting to dance, and accepting what life brings. The down-home, earthy sound is impressive, and while it has a nostalgic atmosphere, it also feels somewhat new. It's a must-listen, allowing you to feel a new side of Nora that wasn't present in her previous works. Regarding the album and its first single, ``Running'', Nora says, ``I named the album ``Visions'' because a lot of the ideas came to me in the middle of the night or right before I went to bed, and ``Running'' was the reason I called the album Visions. is one of those songs that makes you feel like you're awake even though you're half asleep. Most of the songs were created by me playing the piano or guitar, Leon playing the drums, and just jamming. I like the rawness of it, and I think it gives it a garage-y yet soulful feel. That's the origin of Rion's sound, and part of its appeal is that it's not too perfect," she says.
