Norah Jones

"The Fall" (EMI Blue Note)

Norah Jones ditches her old band, and most of her trademark piano playing, for her latest release "The Fall." Jones sounds more confident and stretches her songwriting muscle on her fourth solo record, and the second in a row where she wrote or co-wrote all of the songs.

"The Fall" is more of an evolution than a wholesale abandonment of her style. Sure, the piano is largely absent, but Jones' guitar playing style shows the influence of her keyboarding. It's simple, restrained but still melodic. Jones penned eight of the 13 songs alone and shares credit with others on the remaining five, including Ryan Adams on "Light as a Feather." Her continued growth as a writer brings another exciting dimension to "The Fall."
