I have been given the opportunity through One2One Network to review Norah Jones' new album. ...Featuring. I have long been in love with the vocal stylings of Ms. Jones and was eager to listen to her newest creation.
When I saw that it was duets, I immediately envisioned a CD full of her songs I already knew with other people singing with her. I was pleasantly surprised however to find that they were songs I really didn't know, and was introduced to several new artists as well.
...Featuring is a star-studded collection of Norah Jones' collaborations spanning her entire career. The result serves as a kind of parallel history to her four albums, which have sold over 40 million copies worldwide.
“A lot of the people on this record are people I've worshiped since I was a kid, and some of them are younger and more my contemporaries,” says Norah. “Even though the musicians are so varied, the vibe of the songs makes sense when we put them all together.”
While I love most of this CD, there are a few songs that aren't my favorite and will be removed from my playlist. I am not a fan of Rap music at all, so I was not impressed with the songs featuring OutKast, Q-Tip and Talib Kweli. But, with 18 songs on the CD, there really is something for everyone.
This CD is the perfect gift for the Norah Jones fan. Check it out on YouTube, and Facebook. After you do that, I am sure you will want to go buy it and you really should.
*I received this CD from The One2One Network, but all words, opinions and sentiments are mine.
