Norah Jones
Feels Like Home
(EMI)
Norah Jones has tried to squelch the hype as best she could with the release of Feels Like Home, but it is still running overtime. With good reason: Her sophomore release embraces fans of the multi-platinum Come Away With Me and onlookers alike as if they were old friends, treating them to an intimately warm dose of her piano-infused, country-tinged jazz-pop. Jones has delivered a smooth, sultry, more upbeat follow-up. If the sunset ever required a soundtrack, Feels Like Home is it.
