NORAH SET TO RELEASE
NEW DANGER MOUSE PRODUCED ALBUM THIS SPRING ENTITLED “LITTLE
BROKEN HEARTS”
Norah Jones is
set to release a new album this spring entitled Little
Broken Hearts (Blue Note/EMI), a collaboration
with the producer and musician Danger Mouse.
The two first worked together when Danger Mouse called
upon Jones to contribute vocals to his acclaimed 2011 album ROME,
and their connection proved deep enough that they decided
to collaborate on Jones’ fifth studio album. Little
Broken Hearts, which features original songs co-written
by Jones and Danger Mouse, is the fascinating next step
in the artistic evolution of one of the most intriguing
singers to have emerged in the past decade. Together they
have married their highly personal styles to create an
entirely new sound.
It was that singular voice that caught the attention of Danger Mouse as he began
to conceptualize ROME, his homage to classic Italian film score music.
He already had Jack White in mind for the male role, and he and his collaborator
Daniele Luppi realized that Norah’s voice would give the project the perfect
balance it needed. Jones contributed three standout songs to ROME (check
out a stripped-down live acoustic version of “Black” on RollingStone.com)
and around the same time she and Danger Mouse began working on some of the material
that would eventually become Little Broken Hearts.
The duo reconvened in Danger Mouse’s Los Angeles studio this past fall to finish
what they had begun. The songs were all built from the ground up in the studio,
with Jones and Danger Mouse sharing all the songwriting credits and performing
the majority of the instrumental parts; Jones on piano, keyboards, bass, and
guitar, and Danger Mouse contributing drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, and string
arrangements.

The
Little Willies Return With "For The Good Times"

'FOR THE GOOD TIMES'
iTUNES | CD | VINYL
The
Little Willies – Lee Alexander (bass), Jim
Campilongo (guitar), Norah Jones (piano,
vocals), Richard Julian (guitar, vocals)
and Dan Rieser (drums) – return with their
second collection of rousing country covers, the follow-up
to their
first 2006 self -titled debut. The band first formed
in 2003 as an excuse for the five friends to spend a night
playing music together at The Living Room on New York’s
Lower East Side, but the gig proved too fun for both
the musicians and audience for it to remain a one-off.
Despite hailing from the far corners of the country –
California, Massachusetts, Texas, Delaware – the members
of band all grew up listening to a certain breed of classic
American music, and relished the opportunity to perform
some of their favorite country classics and lesser-known
gems.
- I Worship You (Ralph Stanley)
- Remember Me (Scott Wiseman)
- Diesel Smoke, Dangerous Curves (Cal
Martin)
- Lovesick Blues (Cliff Friend/Irving
Mills)
- Tommy Rockwood (Jim Campilongo)
- Fist City (Loretta Lynn)
- Permanently Lonely (Willie Nelson)
- Foul Owl On The Prowl (Quincy Jones/Alan
