NORAH JONES TALKS ABOUT “THE FALL”

On 12.08.09, In Music, by Roque.

This jazz-pop star travels a rock-ier route on her fourth album, “The Fall”.

Since her last record (2007’s double platinum “Not Too Late) was released, she has since broken up with her boyfriend and bassist Lee Alexander, and therefore “The Fall” doesn’t’ seem to have many happy love songs.

So, how autobiographical is the album?

“Maybe half and half.” she says. “Maybe more that half.”

So why more than half?

“Maybe it’s because I’ve turned 30.” (pause) “Or maybe it’s because all my friends went through a breakup in the last two years. It’s definitely a transition album.” (Laughs) “But some of it is a little borrowed from their stories and their pain.”
