Feels Like Home by Norah Jones

Feels Like Home, Norah Jones' second album, landed on Blue Note on February 10, 2004, with the unenviable job of following Come Away with Me, her 2002 breakthrough. She didn't flinch. With Arif Mardin as main producer and five co-writes of her own, she eased back on the jazz and let an alternative country sound drift in, all unhurried tempos and that voice like warm smoke.

Critics heard it as a close cousin of the debut and mostly liked it; buyers didn't hesitate at all. Its opening week alone moved more than a million copies, it sat atop the Billboard 200 for six straight weeks, finished as the second-best-selling album of 2004 and has sold more than 12 million worldwide. At the 2005 Grammys, "Sunrise", the lead single, won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, the album was up for Best Pop Vocal Album, and "Creepin' In", her turn with Dolly Parton, was nominated for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals.
