Did you know Norah Jones has the best-selling album by a female artist of the 2000s? That's right, Norah beat Aguilera, Furtado, Spears, Shakira, P!nk, and Katy Perry with her landmark debut album Come Away With Me. Arguably one of the biggest underdogs in pop history, Norah Jones brought her own style of jazzy flair to a mainstream obsessed with energetic pop music and helped resurrect her dying yet renowned jazz label Blue Note Records. Her unique blend of jazz, pop, country, blues, and singer-songwriter genres was reminiscent of a bygone era and coupled with her one-of-a-kind smoky voice has earned Jones multiple Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Best New Artist, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Songs like "Don't Know Why" and "Come Away With Me" showcase her talent for crafting intimate, reflective pieces that feel both timeless and personal. Her piano skills, combined with her warm, velvety voice, create a sound that is uniquely hers and timeless.
Some detractors called her "Snorah Jones," yet Norah has disproven this barb repeatedly. She has collaborated with Dolly Parton, the Foo Fighters, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, Bonnie Raitt, and even wrote an entire album with Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day. She also shouldn't be typecast as someone that makes coffee house music. Songs like "Happy Pills," "Sinkin' Soon," "Miriam," and her stunning tribute to Chris Cornell with her take on "Black Hole Sun," performed at the last place Cornell sang, show an upbeat and even dark side to her music. Her remarkable consistency in album releases has shown that Norah is not stopping anytime soon.
Here are just some of Norah's best songs:
