Nora Jones was born into a musical family since childhood. Her father, Ravi Shankar, was a great sitar virtuoso and the godfather of Indian classical music, and was also the mentor of George Harrison, a famous guitarist in The Beatles. This music background also laid a solid foundation for Nora Jones' music course.
Nora Jones' debut album Come away with me, released in 22, won the 45th Grammy Award in one fell swoop, including best record of the year, best album, best new artist, best pop female singer and best pop album.
Grammy awards are divided into pop, Dance/Electronic, Rock and roll, R&B; B) Rap, Country music, Jazz, Folk songs and so on. Judging from the above-mentioned awards won by Nora Jones, none of them are related to pop music, so we habitually define Nora Jones' music type as jazz, which is actually inaccurate, at best, it can only be said that it is jazz-based cross-border music.
It is because Nora Jones' music combines elements of jazz, pop and country music that people can hear different tastes and customs. Just like appreciating the performance of David Garrett, a famous violinist with both face value and talent, it not only shows the elegance of classical music, but also reveals the fashion sense of pop music. Perhaps it is these singers and performers who dare to try the fusion of different music types in order to create a touching and unique song.
Some people say that Nora Jones's lazy and husky voice is a perfect combination with jazz, while others say that her songs are full of fresh air, but I always feel a strong sense of chansons.
When you are busy and nervous, you might as well listen to her songs and slow down your tempo. When you are at leisure, you can quietly listen to her songs and read books; When you are lonely and empty, you can listen to songs to get inner peace ...
If you want to know more about Nora Jones and her music, let's start with these songs.
Nora Jones' songs appear frequently in the coffee shop, especially this song. The lazy voice with such melody and rhythm fits the style and atmosphere of the coffee shop very well.
This famous song by Nora Jones has always been my favorite song. Today, I still remember hearing this song on the road at 9 o'clock on a rainy night. The intermittent rain, the wet road where few people walked, and the dim lights on the roadside seemed to match this song.
Every time I listen to this song, I will see the bustling scene of the streets in new york, as well as the tiredness and faint sadness when I say goodbye to my friends in the streets at midnight and disperse the loneliness.
The magical sound of musical instruments in this song is quite interesting (it is not sure that it is Kazudi), which is very similar to human voice and seems to add a psychedelic color to this song.
