Even taken as a pop album, which this is, Norah Jones is a perfectly pleasant singer, but hardly memorable. Seeing her live convinces me that there is not a lot beyond what you see and hear -- substance and resonance just aren't there, and certainly no sense of musical adventure -- which makes her far from jazz. She's pretty and likable in that college-dorm girl kind of way, but there seems little to indicate musically that there's a long-haul career ahead. This is more Edie Brickell than Rickie Lee Jones, for example. She's somehow connected with the zeitgeist of the moment, and there's nothing wrong with that. But she, and her material, are nothing special. The most interesting thing about the album is legendary producer Arif Mardin's return to a more stripped-down intimate sound. But the songs themselves -- they're easy to listen to, and instantly forgettable.
