諾拉瓊絲Norah Jones《諾言Not Too Late》中文官方部落格

‧華盛頓郵報：諾拉瓊絲至今最好的一張個人專輯！
“BY FAR HER BEST” SAYS THE WASHINGTON POST
 
After she appeared yesterday on NBC’s Today Show, and NPR’s Morning Edition, Norah Jones latest - and according to several critics, greatest - album ‘Not Too Late’ arrives in stores and online today via Blue Note Records.  ‘Not Too Late’ features thirteen new songs, all written or co-written by Jones.  The album was produced by Jones’ bassist and songwriting partner Lee Alexander, and was recorded mostly in Jones and Alexander’s home studio. 
 
‧華盛頓郵報：你以為你瞭解諾拉瓊絲，其實不然！
“You thought you knew Norah Jones, didn’t you?  On her foreboding and magnificently moody new album, ‘Not Too Late,’ Jones tackles not just matters of the heart, but matters of the state as well.  This is a confident outing, by far her best, and an album where she stretches mightily without trying to reinvent herself unnecessarily.”
- Joe Heim, WASHINGTON POST, Jan 30, 2007

拿下葛萊美音樂獎後一直不斷創作的諾拉瓊絲，第三張專輯明年出片的消息傳出之後，讓歌迷有點等不及。好不容易在美國洛杉磯，一個有點冷又不冷的夜晚，諾拉瓊絲和她的老搭檔The Handsome Band選在只有hard-core音樂迷才知道的Center Staging Studio，進行了第一次半公開排演。這場小而美的音樂會，只有不到一百名賓客受邀，其中有樂評，有好友，有親人，還有排隊排很久的諾拉瓊絲歌迷。

化著淡妝，紅底黑衫和黑髮紅唇對映的諾拉瓊絲，微笑著出現了。埋頭創作快兩年的她，顯然跟歌迷心情一樣，等不及分享她的新專輯。也難怪，這張專輯裡的13首歌，都有她的心聲，這也是諾拉瓊絲頭一次全部參與作曲寫詞的作品。
