Ever since i heard, "Don't Know Why" back in 2005 I was hooked on Jone's sweet lushes jazz vocals and with her new album, "The Fall" she delivers once more. This record is something different for Jones though. She puts down the piano and picks up the guitar. A beautiful women who can sing and professionally play more than one instrument, Norah Jones is pretty much my dream women. Anyway, this record is something of a heartbreak record. Norah is recently coming off of a long relationship with her producer, and her songs are reflecting her heartache. But, don't worry! Jones' passion and song writing have not left her. Still very rooted in jazz, "The Fall" is a mix of hauntingly beautiful ballads and tantitlizingly close rock/pop songs. Norah Jones is such an original artist that no matter what style she chooses, her music still sounds like Norah Jones. "The Fall" is the newest endeavor and is a good buy for anyone who enjoyed Norah in the past or is looking for a good "chill" album. Since apparently i'm supposed to give a star rating i'll go with a 4 out of 5. Some of you may think it's a 3 or lower, but it grows on you. Check it out! Or at least illegally download one song!
