Norah Jones - " Not Too Late " ( 2007 ).

Shown Above, is an image of Norah Jones' Newest CD Album " Not Too Late ", Released Just Yesterday ( Saturday 27th January ). If you are familiar with Norah Jones' Music ( And You should be... ! ), then Norah Jones needs no introduction - you know who she is, and what her music is like.
I purchased my copy yesterday ( The Deluxe Edition with Bonus DVD ), on it's very first day of release, from the JB-Hi-Fi shop at Westfield Southland Shopping Centre, Cheltenham. The cost was only AUD $ 26.99 ( Estimated Regular Retail Price was AUD $ 38.99 ) At JB's, I saved almost AUD $ 12.00 off the Regular Retail Price !
I've already had a chance to listen to the whole album once through since purchase. The New Album " Not Too Late " is 'Norah Jones' as you would expect. The 'eseence' and the style is the same as the eseence and style used in her previous albums, and therefore the music itself is nothing out of the ordinary. The quality of the album is really good and contains some great tracks. ALL the tracks on this album are at least somewhat reminiscent of songs from her earlier work; So there's not much need to describe each track individually.
I like this album, it's really good. As I would usually say - If you really want to know what this album is really like, go and purchase it, and listen to it for yourself !

" Thinking About You " is 'supposedly' slated as the first single from the album, though there isn't as yet any information or any evidence that 'that' single is 'actually' on release ( yet ! ). I guess we'll have to wait and see. If it 'is' scheduled to be the first single to be released, it should be released sooner or later... You can listen to the streaming audio of this track on Norah Jones' Official Web Site.

Now for the Bonus DVD that comes with the Deluxe Edition :

The Bonus DVD contains a) the Music Videos for the songs " Thinking About You ", " Until The End ", and " Sinkin' Soon ". b) Making of/Behind the Scenes Clips for the music videos " Thinking About You " and " Sinkin' Soon ". c) An Interview with Norah, and d) Two Live Bonus Tracks [ " Until The End ", and " Sinkin' Soon " ] from 'rehearsals.com' Filmed in Burbank, CA, in November 2006.

That Visual Interview with Norah, is really something to note. As Norah is speaking, the clip shows short segments of live performance of some of the tracks from the " Not Too Late " Album ( And there is an audience too ! ). It gives the impression that not only was the performance recorded in front of a live audience, but it also gives the impression that the 'whole' performance was recorded, and that the whole event may possibly be stored/back-logged on a video-reel somewhere in the recording studio. Could it be that at some time in the near future, that this preliminarily recorded event could be restored, re-mastered, and converted to DVD, and shipped out for sale, so that we, the little people can eventually see the 'whole' show on DVD ? And why was it not included on this first release ( maybe on a 'Special' Deluxe Collector's Edition, which includes the entire Live performance on DVD ) ?
Even Norah Jones' Official Web Site does not yet say anything about any forthcoming or future DVDs.
I am definitely hoping that some time in the near future, that this item will come to fruition, as a Music/DVD Item. Maybe it could be called " Norah Jones - Not Too Late - Live, 2007 ".

If you liked Norah Jones' earlier albums " Come Away With Me " and " Feels Like Home ", You'll like her new album " Not Too Late ".

" Not Too Late " is availabe for Purchase Now, in All Good Music/CD Stores. This item is available in a Standard Edition [ Single CD ], and a Deluxe Edition [ CD and Bonus DVD Combo Pack ].
