Female Vocals - Nora Jones new album - Pick Me Off The Floor


Nora just released a new album -Pick Me Up Off The Floor - if you are into vocals please listen to this album ! Her vocals are amazing thru my Maggie 1.7 is. The recording is clean and crisp. Cymbals are amazing, vocals touch my soul! Base line is solid. Another gift via MQA thru my LUMIN T2. Dianna Krall has competition as my ‘Best Female Vocalist’ IMHO !

Happy Listening!

I don't follow Norah closely, so maybe this isn't new, but this album sounds like a more mature artist to me.
I'm actually not very impressed with Norah's latest album. Heard someone above say this is 'layered' jazz arrangements. That's the thing that this album is not. It sounds like a group got together one lazy afternoon and tinkered with whatever was in the room. Lifeless, self-similar tunes.. NJ has done a lot better. To each their own I suppose.

your lack of getting into either likely has to do with something in your system

It's not my system, which doesn't discriminate only against Nora and Diana while making hundreds of other vocalists sound wonderful - it's the overly soothing, limited range, persistence towards ballads,and lack of grit that simply doesn't resonate with me.  She's just not my cup of tea and I'm often amazed by her soaring popularity..which means my awful taste is certainly in the minority.  Hey, I don't get reggae either...doesn't stir my soul.  But I'd never blame my gear on not enjoying reggae either.
