Review
Norah Jones made quite the entrance with her 2002 debut album "Come Away With Me," which is a lovely concoction of jazz, pop, and country influences. The album showcases her rich, sultry voice and mellow acoustic sound that surely won over hearts around the world. Produced by the iconic Arif Mardin and released by the renowned Blue Note Records, this album didn't just soar on the charts in 20 different countries, but also snagged a bunch of Grammy Awards in 2003, including the prestigious Album of the Year. Selling nearly 30 million copies worldwide, it's no wonder the album's tracks like "Don't Know Why" became the cozy background score to so many lives.
The tracks on "Come Away With Me" are the kind that stick with you—you know, the ones you have playing during a relaxed Sunday morning or when you're just looking to unwind. It's the kind of album you could hear softly playing while grabbing a cup of coffee or just lounging on the couch. The album's impact was huge, not just on the charts but also on the music industry, influencing how soul-pop sounds evolved afterward. And for anyone wanting to delve into the nitty-gritty of how this gem came about, the 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition offers a treasure trove of goodies, including remastered originals and a peek into Jones' creative process with unreleased demos and session recordings. - Courtney
