NORAH JONES: Little Broken Hearts



PolyEast Records invite us last Monday to listen to Norah Jones' new album "Little Broken Hearts" (Blue Note/EMI) produced by Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton). The 12-track album features the gently rolling first single "Happy Pills."

I'm glad to be part of the advanced listening party because I am also a fan of Norah Jones. Her voice is so relaxing and what's good with her new album is that it is a lot different from her previous albums. The album is dark, moody and full of wounded emotions which makes not only me but a lot of people relate to all of her songs. 


I really love her album cover! Jones drew the inspiration for the album cover from the vintage movie posters that adorn Burton's Los Angeles studio. "Brian has this great collection of Russ Meyer posters in his studio," explains Jones, "and this particular one, called Mudhoney, was right over the couch where I sat every day. I  always was looking at it and thinking 'that's  so cool I want to look like her!' I remember staring at the poster the whole time we made the record. It's a great visual."

Little Broken Hearts Tracklist:
  1. Good Morning
  2. Say Goodbye
  3. Little Broken Hearts
  4. She's 22
  5. Take It Back
  6. After The Fall
  7. 4 Broken Hearts
  8. Travelin' On
  9. Out On The Road
  10. Happy Pills
  11. Miriam
  12. All A Dream

She's so beautiful and I really dig her new look! :)
