I’ve Got to See You Again
Norah Jones’ new album, The Fall, was released last week. It’s a slight departure from her past smooth, sultry offerings, but it’s also a great album showcasing Norah’s experimentation with a new sound and new collaborators.
She’s one of my favorite singer-songwriters of all-time, and her concert tour a couple of years ago was the first I’d ever attended. In honor of the new album, I’m resurrecting Sunday Share and spotlighting a few of my favorite Norah features.
Herbie Hancock – “Court and Spark” (ft. Norah Jones)
Norah shines on the album opener to the 2008 Album of the Year and homage to Joni Mitchell. I like Joni’s version, but I love Norah’s; she really makes it her own.
From River: The Joni Letters
Talib Kweli – “Soon the New Day” (ft. Norah Jones)
My favorite song from the album features Norah Jones on the hook. Coincidence?
I think not.
From Eardrum
Wax Poetic – “Angels” (ft. Norah Jones)
I saw the video on VH1 Soul around the time Norah’s debut album was released. That’s where it all began.
From Nublu Sessions
OutKast – “Take Off Your Cool” (ft. Norah Jones)
OutKast is, perhaps, my favorite duo in the history of duos. To have Norah Jones added to the mix only means greatness is guaranteed.
From Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
The Peter Malick Group – “Heart of Mine” (ft. Norah Jones)
This song was featured during the closing credits of the film, Runaway Jury. I liked the movie, but I’d watch it again just for the closing credits.
From New York City
Norah Jones – “I’ve Got to See You Again”
This is one of my favorite songs, and seeing Norah perform it live was amazing.
