NORAH JONES
SETS MAY 1 RELEASE FOR “LITTLE BROKEN HEARTS”;
REVEALS ALBUM COVER & TRACK LISTING
Norah
Jones has set a May 1 release date for Little Broken Hearts (Blue
Note/EMI), her stunning new album produced by Danger
Mouse (aka Brian Burton). Jones has also revealed
the album cover and track listing of the 12-song set, which
features original songs co-written by Jones and Burton.
Jones drew the inspiration for the album cover from the
vintage movie posters that adorn Burton’s Los Angeles studio.
“Brian has this great collection of Russ Meyer posters
in his studio,” explains Jones, “and this particular one,
called Mudhoney, was
right over the couch where I sat every day. I always was
looking at it and thinking ‘that’s so cool I want to look
like her!’ I remember staring at the poster the whole time
we made the record. It’s a great visual."
Little Broken Hearts is the fascinating next
step in the artistic evolution of one of the music world’s
most consistently intriguing singer-songwriters. Jones
first emerged on the world stage 10 years ago this month
with the February 2002 release of Come Away With Me,
her self-described “moody little record” that introduced
a singular new voice and grew into a global phenomenon,
sweeping the 2003 Grammy Awards and signaling a paradigm
shift away from the prevailing synthetic pop music of the
time. Come Away With Me has just become the #10
best-selling album of the Soundscan era. The album has
sold 25 million copies worldwide.
Since then, Jones has released three more critically acclaimed
and commercially successful solo albums—Feels Like
Home (2004), Not Too Late (2007), and The
Fall (2009)—as well as two albums with her country
collective The Little Willies. The 2010 compilation …Featuring
Norah Jones showed her to possess an incredibly versatile
voice by collecting her collaborations with artists as
diverse as Willie Nelson, Outkast, Herbie Hancock, and
Foo Fighters. Jones previously collaborated with Danger
Mouse on his acclaimed 2011 album ROME, a valentine
to classic Italian film score music that also featured
Jack White.
Jones will tour extensively in 2012, performing at a mixture
of festivals, amphitheatres and theatres in the US and
abroad. Select summer European dates, including a pair
of sold out London shows at the Royal Festival Hall, are
already posted at www.norahjones.com,
with more to be announced in the coming weeks. US tour
dates will be revealed shortly, but in the immediate future
Jones will be performing at SXSW in Austin, Texas. She
will debut songs from Little Broken Hearts with
her new band at La Zona Rosa (March 17 at 7:45pm), and
will also be performing with The Little Willies at Waterloo

The
Little Willies Return With "For The Good Times"
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.

drawings and animations, interspersed with interactive
3D sequences in which the viewer becomes an active
participant, guiding their own journey through the
unfolding narrative. Participants can even create their
own virtual artifacts—the best of which will then be
integrated into the experience and become a part of
other users’ dreams. Experience 3 Dreams Of Black now!
