Norah Jones, born in 1979, arrived with a voice like warm honey and a piano style that makes every song sound like it's being played in a dim room at 2 in the morning. The First Sessions EP in 2001 introduced "Don't Know Why", "Come Away with Me" and "Turn Me On", and Come Away With Me, the full album, followed in 2002 on Blue Note, a quiet, unhurried record that folds country, blues, folk and pop into its jazz.

It became a phenomenon: certified diamond, more than 27 million copies sold, and 5 Grammys, among them Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist, with "Shoot the Moon" among its gentler charms. Feels Like Home followed in 2004 with "Sunrise", then Not Too Late and The Fall in 2009, which gave her "Chasing Pirates" and "Back to Manhattan", and all 3 went platinum.

She kept exploring, with the band projects The Little Willies and Puss n Boots, …Little Broken Hearts and "Happy Pills" in 2012, Pick Me Up Off the Floor and "I'm Alive" in 2020, and Visions and "Running" in 2024. She also made her screen debut in 2007 in My Blueberry Nights, directed by Wong Kar-Wai, and she has sold more than 53 million albums and won ten Grammys in all.
