...been five years since Norah Jones eased her way into the world's ears with the 8 million-selling, eight-Grammy-winning album Come Away with Me. Since then, she has toured relentlessly and defied those who thought her initial success was an anomaly by continuing to softly and sweetly dominate the charts.

Her plangent, almost vibrato-free voice rides over a mélange of island rhythms, bossa nova and folky acoustics, mostly in new songs she has co-written. They go down as easily as frozen margaritas, never more beguilingly than when she slips in scat syllables like "dit-doo, die-yah-da-doo" in Four Leaf Clover, or simply "ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh" in Cold to Colder...
