Billboard's top jazz artist of the 2000s (and Dave Grohl informant), Norah Jones, has announced the forthcoming release of her ninth studio album, led by the understatedly anthemic new single "Running."
Produced in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Leon Michels, Visions arrives March 8 via Blue Note Records. It marks Jones's first album since her 2021 holiday release, I Dream of Christmas, as well as 2020's Pick Me Up Off the Floor and 2016's Day Breaks.
"The reason I called the album Visions is because a lot of the ideas came in the middle of the night or in that moment right before sleep, and 'Running' was one of them where you're half asleep and kind of jolted awake," Jones explained in a press release. "We did most of the songs in the same way, where I was at the piano or on guitar and Leon was playing drums and we were just jamming on stuff. I like the rawness between me and Leon, the way it sounds kind of garage-y but also kind of soulful, because that's where he's coming from, but also not overly perfected."
