Norah Jones: I Dream Of Christmas (2022 Deluxe Edi
 | Label: BLUE NOTE Catalog: B003546602 Format: CD "I Dream Of Christmas" by Norah Jones, last year's Christmas bestseller, is a hip and charming masterpiece. This year, the album returns to make the season even brighter, as a 24-track deluxe LP + CD with eight new recordings: the studio tracks "The Christmas Waltz," "O Holy Night" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," plus five live recordings recorded at the Empire State Building! Norah Jones became instantly world famous with her 2002 debut album "Come Away With Me," selling more than 27 million albums. Since then, her silky smooth voice has been a constant companion for many millions of people. In the past, you could only guess how often a fan listens to their favorite album at home, but today you know almost exactly - "Come Away With Me" is one of the biggest streaming hits out there. Since then, Ms. Jones has added many fine and equally enduring albums to her discography. But what she's never done - even though her voice lends itself to such a feel-good theme - is record a Christmas album. Until now. On her first Christmas album, "I Dream Of Christmas," she gives credit to some classics like "Winter Wonderland" and "White Christmas," but relies mostly on her own songwriting again as a 9-time Grammy Award winner. As a result, she manages to create a Christmas wonderland that never drifts into typical clichés. Instead, it adds an original work to the canon of Holiday classics that a great many people will still be listening to with delight 20 years from now. Price: $34.98 |
