Being a fan of Norah Jones, when I was given the opportunity to review this album before it hit the stores, I was pretty excited. When I received it, I immediately tucked into the packaging, popped it into my computer and imported the songs to my iPod. I didn't want to get any ideas about the album before I received it, and just knew the basics: Norah Jones, collaborative songs. I was disappointed when I realized all the songs sounded familiar, they've all been released before and there is no original music on the album, BUT, that didn't stop me from bobbing my head along with "Life Is Better" and "Take Off Your Cool". The album is good, Norah Jones sounds great, as per usual. There was no real reach in this album, while the artists are as different as they come, there is no versatility in Norah Jones' performance, but it does showcase some of the collaborative artists' versatility for sure. "More Than This" is definitely a favorite of mine, along with the two I mentioned above. I didn't like ALL of the tracks, I found "Blue Bayou" to be pretty flat, and I've never liked any version of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" so that's certainly on my list of dislikes. I would not have bought the album for myself, personally. But I'm thankful for the opportunity to review it, and look forward to listening to it occasionally, especially with the cold weather coming through. I could warm up with a few songs from this album on a frosty day.

I dont know if I am unusual or not, but when Im listening to new music, if the song doesnt catch my ear or pique my interest within the first 30 seconds, then the next track gets played. I dont know that's just me. And, I've always thought that most albums only had about 4-5 decent songs on them and the rest were just fillers. Well, when it comes to this album, I was proved wrong on both of accounts. There were just a handful of songs (out of 18) that just didnt do anything for me within the first 30 seconds and by far most of them are worth listening to. I especially enjoyed her songs with Ray Charles, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, but then again I'm an old school kind of guy. This is an album of duets sung throughout her career over the past 10 years. Some of these duets, particularly Love Me with The Little Willies, leaves you wishing they would cut an entire album together. Other duets, leave you just asking `Why?'. I've been a fan of Norah for a long time, enjoying her unique voice and comittment to pure music and voice. These aren't just leftovers from her past albums or merely Starbuck songs you gently brush away as you grab your mocha. These are glimpses into Norah's music mind and her diverse ability to relate to other genre's thru her music.

Posted 11/17/10: Norah Jones captured hearts all over the world with her critically acclaimed album, Come Away With Me, in 2002. Five Grammys and three albums later, she is back with a new album - ...Featuring. From the album: Recorded from 2001 to 2010, the cameos, duets and collaborations on this compilation span the musical spectrum and show Norah Jones to be one of the decade's most diverse musical connectors. As a big fan myself, I was pleased to be asked to review ...Featuring by the One2One Network. It's already become a nap time favorite at my house. The baby is snoozing, and Norah's smooth, velvety voice comes on to help relieve me of the stresses of the day. At first glance at the album, I was a little surprised at what my eyes were seeing. Outkast? Willie Nelson? Foo Fighters? Surely all of these names couldn't be on the same album with the lovely and talented Norah Jones. Just one listen though, and I was sold. This woman has an amazing vocal presence and she just fits into each collaboration so well. Any true music lover will appreciate ...Featuring, from its jazz roots, to its dabbles in country and hip hop.

One2One Network gave me the opportunity to listen and review Norah Jones’ latest project, “ Featuring Norah Jones”. At first reading of the album, I thought that I was holding an ambitious project which contained a complete compendium of musical genres. There have been many Duet albums in the marketplace. What is intriguing about this particular type of Duet Albums is the fact that Norah Jones displays her versatility by dabbling in other genres. The album makes for easy listening with tracks such as “Virginia Moon”, “Ruler of My Heart” and “Blue Bayou” (my personal favorite). “Baby Its Cold” is a sweet spin of an old Christmas Classic. Norah’s hip-hop collaborations with Q-Tip and OutKast shows that Norah has the ability to take risks that pay off with great dividends. Her numerous collaborations are laudable. I give it 5 stars because it is great! Yet, I wonder, whether she could have done some collaboration with some of the younger musical talent. Another album. Possibly.

I have always liked Nora Jones. She has a nice voice and she always seems to soothe my soul. I was able to receive this album before it's release and am happy to be able to write this review. This album, "... Featuring Norah Jones" is a little different for her because it is full of duets with other famous and legendary singers such as Willie Nelson, Outkast, Ray Charles and others. There is definitely a song in this album for everyone. There are many different genre's of music here. If you are into the slow, bluesy stuff, it's there! If you are into more of the upbeat, sorta rappy, there is some of that too. I can't say that I loved every song in the album but I defintely loved more than I didn't. I'm more of a fan of the bluesy stuff, so I am more drawn to that type of music. I'd say to take a chance and give this album a listen. It will be soothing to your ears and your soul. The diversity of this album is what makes it so great. There is something for everyone!

I had the opportunity to listen to the new Norah Jones CD "Featuring" and I have to say overall my rating would be a 4 out of 5. This CD has a mix of everything, and a little bit of something for everyone. Some of my favorite tracks were #1 "Love Me" Ft. The Little Willies, which had Patsy Cline Esq/50's sound which i loved and #12 "Here We Go Again" Ft Ray Charles, as well as #7 "The Best Part" El Madmo. #4 is a classic, "Baby, It's Cold Outside Ft. Willie Nelson, although I'm not a country fan I enjoyed the remake, 16 & 17 were jazzy and more reminiscent of her older albums. For those who also enjoy hip hop, i really liked #10 "Soon the New Day" featuring Talib Kweli, it was fun and catchy. This album was all around great and even with all the different collaborations, she really stays true to her self and jazz roots. I would recommend this to anyone who has purchased any of her previous CDs or anyone who wants something fun to listen to and relax to. :)

Featuring Norah Jones is a compilation of duets and collaborations recorded between 2001-2010. I really enjoyed this album, which I received from One2One. It's always great to hear fine musicians working together, and the diversity showcased is impressive. Individual songs feature everyone from musical icons like Dolly Parton, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson and Herbie Hancock to younger musicians like Foo Fighters and Outkast. Jones has a distinctive voice, and I appreciate her range and versatility. There's jazz, country, a bit of hip-hop, bluesy numbers, and creative reinterpretations of songs such as Court & Spark and Baby, It's Cold Outside. My favourite cuts so far are Loretta and Turn Them, lyrically strong with lovely instrumental backing. Well worth a listen.

This album is not a cohesive work of art. It is a bit of a mish-mash of Norah Jones singing with artists from a very wide variety of genres. Some of the songs feature Norah's vocals prominently, but others do not. There probably is a song for everyone on this album, but I bet there are few people who like *all* of the songs. I give the album four stars because I do like to explore music outside of my comfort zone, and this album enabled me to do that. Plus, there are a few timeless gems on the CD, like "More Than This" and "Blue Bayou". My experience: I didn't love the album the first time I heard it, but it did grow on me. (In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention I received a complimentary advance copy of this album.)

Norah Jones' new release, "Featuring" includes such greats as Ray Charles, Foo Fighters, Outkast, and Dolly Parton. My favorites were "Love Me" (The Little Willies) - a bluesey ballad, "The Best Part" (El Madmo) - a haunting, soulful, and moody tune, "Here We Go Again" (Ray Charles) - Ray Charles, need I say more? and "More Than This" (Charlie Hunter) - a new take on the 80's favorite. I would consider this album "easy listening." If you are looking for something more upbeat, I wouldn't recommend it. If you would a relaxing and unique compilation CD, this would be a great choice. Thank you to One2One Network for sending me this CD to review.

Norah Jones "Featuring" is a true smorgasbord for the senses. I've been a fan of Norah Jones' cool voice and jazzy pop stylings and was thrilled to see so many great collaborations of hers over the past decade with many of her favorite artists. These collabs are so diverse that it truly makes for an exciting and fascinating album. I love the differing genres and the interpretations. I especially like the cover of Joni Mitchell's "Court and Spark" with the brilliant Herbie Hancock, which is moody and jazzy. There is everything from rock (Foo Fighters, Ryan Adams) to hip-hop (Q-Tip, OutKast_ to country (Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson) to jazz (Herbie Hancock). "It's so exciting and flattering and fun when I get asked to sing with somebody that I admire," Norah has said. "It takes you a little bit out of your comfort zone...kind of like being a little kid and having a playdate." There are none I don't like and some I love! I love "Turn Them" with Sean Bones and its reggae feel. "Baby It's Cold Outside" is such a classic with Willie Nelson. It's such a great fit like a comfortable pair of worn-in-jeans. "Here We Go Again" with Ray Charles is playful and gorgeous. It surprised me that Norah was so natural with hip hop. She shines with Q-tip in "Life is Better" and with Talib Kewll. This cd really has something for everyone. It's like a favorite mixtape and is great for driving or just lazing on a Sunday afternoon. "Featuring" shows off Norah's talent and charm, her versatility and her smoothness. It's eclectic, funky and fun.

Norah Jones continues to wow me as I was first introduced to her music a few years ago on a road trip with my dad. I was extremely excited to get to review this wonderful album through the One2One network. This CD is a definite must have for any music lover's collection. Norah Jones shows that she is as versatile as her beautiful vocals. Some highlights of this CD include her version of "Baby It's Cold Outside" with Willie Nelson and "Creepin' In" with Dolly Parton. My absolute favorite song on this track is "Blue Bayou." Whether you are an R&B fan or a Country fan there is something on this CD for everyone!

I received this CD, Featuring Norah Jones, from the One to One Network. I enjoy listening to Norah Jones and was excited at the prospect of hearing her sing with Ray Charles, Willie Nelson,Sasha Dobson, and others. After listening to the CD I was a little disappointed. It was the mix of the songs or rather the order of the songs. Several songs have a mellow, easy listening style to enjoy with company over dinner. Then the style of music changes to Hip Hop. At the end of the CD, the music style changes back to mellow songs. I would like to play the mellow songs at dinner and the hip hop songs later.

Norah Jones has done it again. Her new album "Featuring" is amazing; her voice and talent evident as it weaves through a vast assortment of incredible artists. And with that, this album lives up to its namesake. In just one CD you'll find every genre, and every legend or legend in the making. The artists listed reads like an award show: The Little Willies; The Foo Fighters; Sean Bones; Willie Nelson; Sasha Dobson; Dirty Dozen Brass Band; El Madmo; Outkast; Q-Tip; Talib Kewli; Belle & Sebastian; Ray Charles; Gillian Welch & David Rawlings; Ryan Adams; Dolly Parton; Herbie Hancock; Charlie Hunter; and M. Ward. An eclectic mix of the world today, Norah Jones hits it out of the park on this new album. My personal favorites are her collective accompaniments with Ryan Adams on "Dear John" and Dolly Parton with "Creepin In". You can listen to these as well as the CD on the Norah Jones official website. So if the sheer wealth of artistry didn't convince you to an immediate purchase, sit back and relax to preview the entire CD on her homepage. Also, take the time to view the video link located on the official website as well. It gives a great backstage pass on how each song came together. Any artist can be lucky enough to produce hit songs. But few can create an album that can be listened to, where every song can become a favorite. "Featuring" does this, and that is where I find myself highly recommending it.
