Norah Jones has been consistently making music on her own and with countless other artists since her smash debut in 2002. With the release of her 7th studio album, “Pick Me Off the Floor,” Jones says she’s more creatively inspired now than ever.

Come Away With Me

Your new album is your seventh studio album, and it's one that you've said you didn't exactly set out to make on purpose. So what happened?I really was excited to do all these collaborations in the last few years, and try to work with people — different engineers, different artists, producers. It was kind of an open door for anything that was inspirational. And I wanted to release singles, because it was a good way to keep it low-commitment and do things fast.

I don't think about songs as being about gun violence; that's not how I would have thought about that song, but how people interpret things is fine.I feel deeply about things often, and I write what I feel, like we all do. We feel things, we watch the news, we see what's happening, we feel intense about things. I've never been the kind of songwriter who sets out to write a song about x,y or z.

And I've got to say, I've never not done something because it's too personal, because by the time you finish the whole process and it kind of morphs into what it morphs into, it takes a little bit of its own journey. For me, anyway, I've never felt like something is too revealing, because I know about what drama's in there and what's real."I'm Alive," with Jeff and Spencer Tweedy, is one of the many collaborations that you've done in your career.

Doing all these collaborations the last few years, it's been like throwing another log on the fire each time.

Always a favorite.

If you like Daybreaks, you’ll probably like this. If you like her earlier music better, pick up Puss N Boots’ Sister instead.

Love that woman

Love Norah. Chasing Pirates was a masterpiece
