While you probably associated her with the Grammys, Starbucks or the only CD in your parents' SUV, jazzy singer-songwriter Norah Jones is a bit cooler than you might think. Throughout her career, the adult-contempo star has collaborated with a wide variety of artists that you actually care about. This fall, a compilation of that work will be released.
The disc is simply called ...Featuring, and includes Jones performing with guests like the Foo Fighters, Willie Nelson, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Outkast, Q-Tip, Talib Kweli, Belle and Sebastian, Ray Charles, Ryan Adams, Dolly Parton, Herbie Hancock, M. Ward and a few others.
In a statement, Jones said, "It's so exciting and flattering and fun when I get asked to sing with somebody that I admire...It takes you a little bit out of your comfort zone when you're doing something with another artist. You don't know what to expect-it's kind of like being a little kid and having a playdate."
The 18-track disc will be released by Blue Note Records on November 2.
