Collection of Singles On Vinyl LP!
Nine-time GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Norah Jones releases Begin Again, a collection of singles that gathers seven eclectic songs that Jones has recorded over the past year (2018-2019) with collaborators including Jeff Tweedy and Thomas Bartlett. Begin Again is released on 12 vinyl and features the new song Just a Little Bit, which was produced by Jones and features her on vocals, piano, and organ along with Brian Blade on drums.
Following the 2016 release of her acclaimed album Day Breaksand the extensive promotional campaign and world tour that accompanied itJones quietly returned to the studio with the sole intent of following her muse down creative pathways without any expectations or boundaries. Reveling in the joy and spontaneity of music-making with a true spirit of openness, Jones got together with various friends for brief, largely-improvised sessions to collaborate and experiment.
"I felt inspired to record and try different things," Jones says, adding that the idea was to make it "quick and fun and easy and low-pressure. Its a great way to collaborate with other people. Just a day or 3 in the studio and thats it."
"I try to go in with a few clips of voice memo ideas to have a jumping off point," she explains. "With each session the little ideas were definitely with those particular musicians in mind, but the hope is to always create in the moment and with each session there were songs that came out of nothing. I was very open and had no real expectations as far as direction, but each session has exceeded my expectations. Its been so fun and I feel very inspired right now and love all the different directions this is going."
The singles Jones began releasing during summer of 2018 ran the gamut from riveting electronic experiments to starkly acoustic folk ballads to organ-and-horn drenched soul songs. With the addition of three more previously unreleased songs, Begin Again presents seven snapshots of creativity from one of the music worlds most versatile and consistently intriguing artists.
