Norah Jones

Paramount Theater
April 1, 8:00pm
$49.50-$59.50

It seems that the word “chanteuse” has suffered from dramatic overexposure of late, being that these days it’s recklessly thrown around every time a mildly successful singer is found to possess girly parts, but we’ll grit our teeth and hope it retains some of its exotic charm when applied to Norah Jones. “Come Away With Me,” the slinky 2002 debut from Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar’s love child, was filled with mellow jazz-pop which went on to win her six Grammy awards and go Diamond. (Remember? That’s the one that’s above Platinum? Oh, forget it.) By the time she got around to The Fall, her newest, she’d traded the highbrow support of guitarist Bill Frisell and producer Arif Mardin for guys like alt-country crooner Ryan Adams and Okkervil River frontman Will Sheff, both of whom have co-writing credits. Perhaps more significantly, she broke up with longtime bassist/boyfriend Lee Alexander, who had been with her since the beginning; that is, you gotta rock a little harder on a breakup record or it’s not gonna work.
