Norah Jones: Little Broken Hearts (New)

This CD is brand new. It comes in the original unopened package.

Norah Jones' album Little Broken Hearts steps out into a range that includes fuzzy guitars, string sections, and tinkling pop synthesizers. The two collaborators work together seamlessly, Jones smart enough to work with Burton’s envelope-pushing, and Burton smart enough to work to Jones’ vocal strengths.

Lyrically, this is a breakup album, but the album is anything but one-note, finding solace in a handful of different reactions. For example, album opener “Good Morning” works twinkling synths and shivering violins into a breathy realization, while “Say Goodbye” is the first hint of angst or aggression. Jones’ voice is sweet enough to sing a cutesy line like, “It’s alright, it’s okay, I don’t need you anyway,” without it having even a hint of going over the top. The latter song is as pure and twee as pop gets, the chugging bass, skipping drums, and Jones coos over the top like she’s been making this kind of music for ages.
