100Gorgeous and intimate, the 14 songs on her debut disc ache with romantic maturity and a smart, slow-jam sexiness that belies the fact that, at 22, Jones is hardly older than Britney.
-
Her voice is supple and precise, her touch on piano lovely.
-
A showcase for Jones' remarkable voice, the disc captures a singer whose rare instinct for interpretation always serves the song, rather than working against it.
-
While the mood of this record stagnates after a few songs, it does give a strong indication of Jones' alluring talents.
-
80She has created a complete, original style that straddles multiple musical genres.
-
70Inevitably, it all starts to grow a little samey.
-
She sings in an earthy growl that can send chills, or a conspiratorial whisper that suggests she's sharing sworn secrets, or a weary sigh that exudes the kind of quiet, easygoing intimacy that doesn't come around in songs too much anymore.
-
70Her readings of the Hank Williams classic, "Cold Cold Heart" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" alone are worth the price of the CD.
-
There's a seductive quality to the simple yet sophisticated and intimate ambience Jones creates with this music.

Elhajjmalikelshabazz10I'm so sick of stereotypers such as yourself, Kyle S. I love rap, I love punk rock, and I love Norah Jones.
