    Her timbre and emotional range of voice cling and delight. Even the most common phrases from her mouth are heard somehow especially. The instrumental parts seemed to converge with Nora in the same dance, where they became an excellent partner: intuitively moving with her in the same rhythm, they feel her every movement of the voice, the course of her thoughts and conceived steps.

    It’s an entertaining assortment of Jones unrestrained.

    The album is a singles collection and as such, isn’t meant to have a cohesive liner structure. It’s also short, seven lean tracks with no filler, a reminder that Jones has enough talent and self-awareness—those two are rarely in concert with each other—to try her hand at multiple genres without stretching herself too thin. Some takes are better than others, but none of them are ever boring.

    Whether they lean closer towards her old traditionalist ways or evince greater ambition, each of these seven songs betrays that sense of ease: the recording close, the playing soft, her voice’s chalky edge and warm-blooded intimacy drawing you in.
