6/10 points - definitely a matter of taste, but my not a good song
* 02 - Say Goodbye *
Here, hidden right at the beginning already considerably more momentum than "Good Morning". A catchy, electronic melody, in the near foreground you can see even a catchy beat. Norah has woken up, his voice sounding slightly distorted, you could here almost say she rocks the crowd. Even though it definitely has here more of a pop song, so still remains the jazzy, soulful get alone is by Norah's voice.
9/10 points - catchy, rousing, so music has to be
* 03 - Little Broken Hearts *
If one had to draw comparisons to the current pop heaven, would be attached to the best here Lana del Rey. Slightly gloomy and musically rather monotonous comes "Little Broken Hearts" and therefore puts the voice of Norah right in the center. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of it, also the background is very catchy. Not necessarily a song to dream, more thoughtful. Here the soul and jazz roots come out clearly, but without characterizing the song in a particular musical direction.
10/10 points - the simplicity and variety at the same time be here to only the highest rating
* 04 - She's 22 *
With "She's 22" is a song that I know him from Norah Jones and actually expect. Quiet, with a touch of jazz, in principle, like "Sunrise" only darker.
This song splashes more or less only to himself, but it creates a mood to create, thought-provoking. This is certainly also due to the profound, very pictorial texts from Norah.
9/10 points - nice, but unfortunately too monotonous something
* 05 - Take It Back *
"Take It Back" can be really hard to describe. Light dissonance, sometimes tinged almost rocky, but quiet, melancholic and again this typical soul and jazz touch. Do you like me? I'm torn. Because the song is relatively changeable, there are passages that I find insanely great, others desolate me a little.
Especially the little rockier end of what sounds unusual for Norah Jones, but also gives the song again a certain something, especially as it passes over quite a long time. Overall, this is more of a song to fall into thinking that provides the background music in the background, but not really penetrates.
7/10 points - Upscale midfield, certainly not the worst song, but nothing can be heard on any occasion
* 06 - After The Fall *
Although a little more cheerful by the musical accompaniment than its predecessor, it also comes in this song tempted to sit back and let your thoughts drift. Rather than dreaming thoughtfully, with more background melody, Norah's voice is a little displaced. Nevertheless, a good mix, but also can not cut down to 100% from the stool. The usual melancholy is also available here in a certain way and is the opposite of the little frühlingshafteren sounds, however, despite the opposite pole in a very good unit.
8/10
* 07-4 * Broken Hearts
Guitar and drums at the beginning of here associations to band "Element Of Crime" out, you expect instead Norah Jones almost the onset voice of Sven Regener. "4 Broken Hearts" is again a musical song mixed, sometimes calm and rather monotonous, sometimes louder and faster, but also the exchange games are perfectly matched. While he goes, compared to its predecessors, something more in the head. Pure than his ear, but is also more likely for melancholy hours when the simple shutdown
7/10 points
* 08 - Travelin 'On *
Another highlight of the CD is definitely "Travelin 'On" is the delicate guitar chords that sweet voice of Norah, plus the occasional cello accompaniment that sets musical soulful accents -. This song is overflowing with emotions and you can not decide - one might succumb to the goose bumps, or just float only on the music dreaming henceforth.
It is not a feel-good song, but he has just that certain something, which also had "Sunrise" at that time, you may be, perfect to sit back and recharge your batteries.
10/10 points - Absolute out tip, exactly what I love about Norah Jones
* 09 - Out On The Road *
Musical turnaround - "Out On The Road" is an absolute feel-good song, which invites you to toe-tapping. Not dancing - just jiggle! In a very special musical blend of jazz, soul, country and something indefinable with it, which simply radiates only mood. Plus Norah's voice in full development and automatically fold hanging corners of the mouth upward.
Simply forward, which is both the statement of the song as well as the effect and all without the appearance of pop songs in usual known, more peaceful way.
10/10 points - it can be even better?
* 10 - Happy Pills *
Poppy Soul, which meets this song probably relatively well. One could "Happy Pills" well imagine the radio between the rest of the charts, which is certainly also due to the catchy beat that plays along here. Under normal circumstances, I would have the song on the radio might noticed, found to be good, but not heeded.
Still, he somehow goes into the ear, and that is his advantage. The melody is simple but catchy, Norah's voice I have not probably even more praise, and despite the pop influences but it fits to Norah.
8/10 - ultimately too little Norah Jones for my taste
* 11 - Miriam *
A slightly dark, threatening atmosphere, accompanied with much piano fits perfectly with the gesäuselten text. A little touch of madness in this song resonates with, conditionally through cheating - brilliantly interpreted by Norah Jones. One can sympathize properly, as the emotions of the deceived woman want to break.
It is not a song I would assign a certain mood. Actually, it fits anywhere right out you do not come here to dream, not to brood, but you can not help but enjoy it.
Maybe was the only occasion on which this song would really fit, precisely the situation described, but nevertheless it radiates an insane fascination. From start to finish absolutely perfect, although he does not fit into the other image of Norah Jones.
10/10 points - out tip because he completely falls out of the way and still fascinates
* 12 - All A Dream *
Finally sets Norah Jones again a very somber mood here, howling guitar sounds, gently set musical accents with bells and drums, this gloomy song, although the mitwippen somehow. Also of this song comes from a fascination which can not be really describe. It is deeper and deeper under the spell of the music, to an end of the album.
9/10 points - a successful conclusion
105/120 points ~ 87.5%
* ~ * ~ * Conclusion *
With reference to the scores of songs, it arises already clear that the judgment only 5 star may be another. If I have to vary between 2 stars, but the decision for the higher rating would certainly like not difficult due to songs like "Travelin 'On", "Out On The Road", "Little Broken Hearts" and "Miriam". The absolutely amazing diversity that Norah Jones has placed again on the day, obliged virtually to take a closer look at this album. Certainly tastes are different, a hip-hop you will not convinced of the qualities of Norah, but for friends of jazz, soul and the rather more refined sounds that can also what to do with artists such as Katie Melua, Element Of Crime or Coldplay which are definitely in good hands with this album. I will certainly continue to also fall back again and again to the sounds of Norah Jones and can each only to it advise me to do the same. I was initially a little disappointed and unsure whether this album will bring joy, it has increased constantly over the songs and caused by its diversity, the variety of emotions. Also targeted and skilful use of different instruments has rendered a great contribution so that not only the song but also the complete implementation is here phenomenal.
5 stars and a full recommendation!
