Singer-songwriter Norah Jones, who released Pick Me Up Off The Floor in 2020 is planning to release a super deluxe edition of her seminal debut album Come Away With Me.
In February 2002, Jones was an unknown 22-year-old singer attempting to charm the world with her debut album Come Away With Me. Even though her label found difficulty in categorizing her sound, the album went on to sell nearly 30 million copies, reaching #1 in 20 countries, and sweep the 2003 GRAMMY Awards with eight wins.
Jones’ unreleased version of “Come Away With Me” still provides that warm, reassuring feeling just like in the released version. The guitar adds to the soothing feeling. So much so, that it sounds like a Blues song. Listen here.
On April 29, Blue Note/UMe will release Come Away With Me: 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition. The 44-track collection will contain 22 previously unreleased tracks, including Norah’s early demos and the never-before-heard first version of the album that was produced by Craig Street. Jones reflects on her debut album, she says, “I was incredibly proud of this album and so thankful to everyone who made it with me…I figured it was a good first try and felt that it truly captured who I was–musically–at that time, which made me the proudest and is all you can really hope for when making a record.”
The 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition was produced by Eli Wolf, and it is set to be released digitally and physically as a 4-LP vinyl set and a 3-CD set, both of which come in premium packaging with an extensive booklet with new liner notes by Norah and rare session photos.
