Norah Jones: The Anti-Diva

25norah.1.184.jpgNew York Times:

Such perfectionism has become [Norah Jones'] hallmark. It's what helped give ''Come Away With Me'' its preternatural sound -- no other musician in her early 20's has recently been so conversant with both Hank Williams and Hoagy Carmichael -- and the exactingness is understandable given that ''Feels Like Home'' is probably the music business's most-anticipated release of 2004. (It comes out Feb. 10.) If the new album generates a small fraction of what its predecessor did, it could keep a few developing countries running for years. The making of ''Feels Like Home'' also marks the culmination of a two-year ''tornado,'' as Jones puts it, during which she had little time for anything but touring and recording. ''I think we came out on the right end,'' she said. ''But I have no friends.''

That's not true. There's her band, plus the 17 million people worldwide who bought ''Come Away With Me,'' not to mention an entire music industry, desperate for hits, that is depending on her, even though very few artists have produced back-to-back phenomena.

Count The Times of London one of Norah's fans saying, "Norah Jones's debut album blew the world's hats off, and now her second effort is even better."

We can't wait!
