I recently was given the chance to listen to Nora Jone's new CD, "The Fall," recently released by Blue Note Records, and I am so happy I was able to! I admit I was not too familiar with Nora Jones before I listened to her latest CD, but I can say that I am now a bonafide fan!
I would describe Nora Jone's music as upbeat, with a couple of spoonfuls of jazz and a dash or two of pop mixed in. Norah has sold almost 40 million albums worldwide, half of them copies of her debut LP Come Away With Me, which I now want to buy -- and has a very large and loyal fanbase. According to Nora, her early influences were artists such as Billie Holiday and Willie Nelson.
You can enjoy Nora's music video for "Chasing Pirates" on Hulu and see for yourself why I am Nora's newest fan!
