Come Away With Me

Norah Jones has a voice ever so soulful, it put me to bed and I have #NoRegrets listening to this at night.

Oof this was boring to me. Far from sounding terrible, but the vocals and the tracks are boring imo

zzzzzz

Alleen maar goede vibes. Bij vlagen iets té soft, maar dat nemen we dan maar voor lief.

Good background noise. #6

My favorite bit of trivia about Norah is that her father is Ravi Shankar. So weird!

As for this record, it's kind of crazy how huge this was when it came out, given how freaking MILQUETOAST it is. Her voice is nice and it makes for very good background music, but it offers very little substance if at all. I did not dislike any tracks, but could I remember any of these tracks three days from now? NO WAY.

I had written off this as boring easy listening music for years, something my parents would listen to on date nights or whatever (although my dad always said he much preferred Diana Krall).

But then a few years back I heard her covering Wilco's Jesus's, etc on Neil Young's school benefit album, and it gave me a new appreciation foe how fantastic her voice is.

I still find this album a bit dull in places, but it's a smooth and relaxing listen. The production is great too, so it sounds lovely on headphones. Or maybe I'm just old now?

Yeah whatever whatever starbucks 2000s coffeehouse jazz. Honestly, I thought this was pretty good for what it is -- they don't make adult contemporary like they used to. I saw Norah Jones when I was a teenager and she opened for the Dave Matthews Band. I don't remember much except she made a joke about her fly being down.

This is really nice. Pretty arangements, heart punching lyrics and full of catchy melodies. I can see why this would be on best of lists including projects like this.

That being said I personally dont have any attachments to it. If its on its really nice. IF being key here, this isnt something im going to go buy and put in my regular rotation. Prime example of I couldnt argue one bit about this being 5 stars for anyone but its not 5 a FOR ME.

Solid 4 stars.

Norah Jones’ Come Away With Me was a great listen—one of those albums that seems to create its own atmosphere around you. It felt especially perfect for a rainy autumn morning, with a warm cup of coffee and nowhere to be.
There’s something wonderfully understated about the album. Jones’ soft, intimate vocals and the gentle blend of jazz, folk, blues, and country give the songs a timeless, almost dreamlike quality. Nothing feels forced or overly polished; the arrangements leave plenty of space for her voice and the mood of each song to breathe.
What I enjoyed most was how effortlessly the album moves between melancholy and warmth. Songs like “Don’t Know Why,” “Come Away With Me,” and “Turn Me On” have a quiet emotional pull without ever becoming heavy. It’s music that doesn’t demand your attention, but rewards you when you give it.
Overall, Come Away With Me is the kind of album that feels made for slow mornings and reflective moments. It has a cozy, intimate quality that perfectly matched the grey skies and autumn rain. A beautiful, soothing listen that I can easily see myself returning to whenever I want to slow things down.

It's nice but not much more than that

i think i have to relisten to this on a cozy rainy autumn day

Well done but washed over me

Naww bless her. It's the same song every time, so it's a good thing that I very much like the song x

nice chill music

Many reviewers here state that this was good background music.
I object, it's much too good for that! Music that really moved me, from first listening. The Intrumentation is varied, different genres are visited without feeling forced. The tracks are consistently very good and there's just a little special spark missing that would elevate it to a 5. Well earned surprise 4!
4/5 - excellent

It's not bad. It's not interesting either. It's no harm to listen to. It's got very nice vocals!

Though Norah Jones inspired the grating phenomenon known as "Indie Girl Voice" that plagued a generation of singer-songwriters, she gets a pass for originating it and being a good arranger and songwriter. The album deserves some points for its influence (for better or for worse), and it's a pleasant, well-performed record. I don't know that I'll ever be a fan, per se, but I do appreciate her.

It’s bad craic when you’re 3 tracks into an album and you’re already looking to see how much longer is left. This was a slog for me to get through. It’s not necessarily that it was terrible, it was just an absolute tornado of vanilla.

2.5/5. An exceptionally okay album. Norah’s singing is definitely the highlight, she’s a strong vocalist and her voice does fit this quiet, intimate style of lounge-pop pretty well. But musically the album did basically nothing for me. You can make Lounge-y music sound fun and interesting, bands like Stereolab have done just that for example (yes I know it’s somewhat of an apples to oranges comparison.) but as it stands, listening to this album I couldn’t shake the feeling that it’s just “coffee shop/book shop” music. Perfectly fine for the background.
