Norah Jones Visions (CD)

(Blue Note Records) 12 tracks, digisleeve

Nine-time GRAMMY award-winning singer, songwriter and pianist Norah Jones releases her ninth solo studio album "Visions".

This new 12-song work is the result of a collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Leon Michels, who accompanies the singer and keyboard, piano, guitar and bass player on drums, bass, guitar and saxophone (some songs also feature Brian Blade/drums, Dave Guy/trumpet and Jesse Murphy/bass).

"Visions" shows Norah Jones at her best, smooth, rocking, grooving - 12 songs about how free she feels, accepting what life brings and just wanting to dance and be happy. It's the yang to the yin of "Pick Me Up Off The Floor", Jones' last studio album of original songs, which was released at the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown in 2020 and anticipated many of the darker emotions of the time.
