What Parents Need to Know

About Feels Like Home

Parents need to know that Norah Jones is playing it safe with this CD, sticking to familiar and comfortable territory. There's nothing objectional on the entire album: Her voice is still exquisite, but is mixed way up over sparse, jazzy musical arrangements.

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 1.0

    It annoyed me

    There is nothing wrong with this CD- in fact, it's quite good if you like cabaret singing- I just didn't like it. The tracks are repetitive and they get old fairly fast, and I know this has nothing to do with the CD but, why spell Nora "Norah"?

  2. Adult Reviewer
    Lives in Texas
    I rate this title on for age 8 and give it 5.0

    I Wish More Young Women Sounded Like Norah

    Talented, Classic, Elegant...Yet undeniably sexy because of all of it. She lets her music do the talking (not her breasts or her navel) and steers clear of the sophomore slump. I praise her intelligent, but good-time album up and down. From one musician to another: Keep it up girlie!

  3. Adult Reviewer
    Lives in New York
    I rate this title on for age 11 and give it 4.0

    Not as good as her first but still a good listen

    It would have been hard to top Come Away With Me, and I regret to say that Norah hasn't. This album has a lot of beauty, but none of the heart-stopping beautifully achy songs she wrote for her first album. This new cd is good for easy listening.
