Norah Jones – Not Too Late

Norah Jones – Not Too Late

Not Too Late is the third studio album from "Norah Jones", showcasing a darker, more intimate side of the Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and pianist. Originally released in 2007, the album followed the enormous success of Come Away With Me and Feels Like Home, but moves away from the polished jazz-pop of her earlier work towards a more stripped-back and introspective sound. Blending jazz, folk, country, blues and alternative pop, Not Too Late highlights Jones' understated vocals and distinctive piano-led songwriting.

The album opens with the atmospheric Wish I Could, before moving into the bluesy, rhythm-driven Sinkin' Soon, featuring "M. Ward" and "Q-Tip". The Sun Doesn't Like You and Until The End continue the album's relaxed but melancholic character, while Not My Friend and Thinking About You showcase Jones' talent for turning personal songwriting into beautifully restrained performances.

One of the album's most striking tracks is My Dear Country, a politically charged song that stands apart from the more personal material. Elsewhere, Broken, Wake Me Up and Be My Somebody combine soulful melodies with Jones' warm, intimate vocal style, while the gentle Rosie's Lullaby leads into the understated title track Not Too Late.

Produced by "Lee Alexander", Not Too Late is an important album in the development of "Norah Jones'" sound, revealing a more mature and adventurous songwriter beneath the relaxed jazz-pop style of her breakthrough records. For fans of Norah Jones, jazz-influenced singer-songwriters, contemporary folk and mellow alternative pop, Not Too Late is a beautifully crafted and atmospheric addition to any collection.
