諾拉瓊斯 / 諾言 (黑膠LP) 180G

Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original source recordings!
200-gram audiophile vinyl pressing by Quality Record Pressings. Gatefold, tip-on jackets on heavy cardboard stock, deluxe high quality!
Part of Analogue Productions’ reissue of the Norah Jones’ solo catalog, featuring the individual albums Come Away With Me, Feels Like Home, Not Too Late, The Fall  and  Little Broken Hearts. Each album is featured in exclusive LP and SACD box sets that include Norah’s Covers album!
"2007's Not Too Late is an even more melancholic and intimately drawn set wherein the singer seems to have not quite gotten over the heartache and thinks maybe her former beau might come back. The album works to perfection, thanks to the deft arrangements, more spare and intimate than before, despite the inclusion of some horns and organ. It might be my favorite ... The records coming out of QRP are definitely living up to the pressing plant's early promise. This kind of drop dead black quiet is precisely what's required for Jones' music and QRP delivers it. Kevin Gray's mastering is equally superb." Michael Fremer, AnalogPlanet.com, January 24, 2013. To read Fremer's full review, click here:
Not Too Late  finally showcases the true vocal talents of Norah Jones, who has been on top of the musical world since her Come Away With Me debut in 2003. Now, the richly-deserved Analogue Productions treatment on 200-gram, super-silent vinyl, showcases the phenomenal abilities of this young singer.
Come Away With Me and its follow-up, Feels Like Home  no doubt alerted the world to Jones’ talent, but those who’d seen her live reported a command of nuance that never quite came across in her recorded work. Not Too Late, with Jones’ vocals more confidently in the front of the mix, is this rising superstar’s most solid and fluid record to date. 
Musicians:
Norah Jones, vocals, piano

＊ 爵士新世代天后諾拉‧瓊絲首張全創作專輯，帶給樂迷零距離接觸與感動
＊ 榮登全球17國流行排行榜冠軍，年度十大最暢銷專輯之一

接連兩張專輯「遠走高飛」及「回家」皆創下傲人銷售佳績，並且囊括九座葛萊美等在內的多項大獎，不僅確立了諾拉‧瓊絲做為21世紀最具代表性的爵士跨界天后非凡地位，也讓時隔三年才推出的「諾言」備受樂迷矚目與期待，於預購期間即刷新Amazon網站紀錄，發行首週更空降包含英美兩地等全球17國排行榜冠軍，名列該年十大暢銷專輯之林。瓊絲將近年巡迴演出時的心情點滴全數轉化為個人創作，並首度由自己和親密夥伴貝斯手李‧亞歷山大共同擔任製作人，在未告知唱片公司的情況下，於自家錄音室完成整張專輯的錄唱，除了保有她一貫沈靜、舒暢的動人彈唱，還多了一些輕鬆活潑的自在氛圍，帶給樂迷完全零距離的真實接觸與感動。“Wish I Could”藉木吉他為主的清亮伴奏流露全新氣象，不變的是瓊絲如絲綢般滑順的無瑕歌聲，叫人一聽傾心；“Sinkin' Soon”為湯姆‧威茲風格的俏皮曲調和哇哇作響的伸縮號充滿奇趣與狂想，是眾人在酣醉之餘錄下的精采即興；“Until The End”滿溢瓊絲慵懶深情的爵士聲線溫柔療癒心靈，舒緩的電吉他獨奏滿溢香醇氣韻；“Thinking About You”則巧妙地將鄉村音樂節拍、鬆軟的靈魂樂電風琴演奏，與及爵士大樂團的管樂昂揚齊奏融合為一，交織出甜美性感的醉人搖擺，成為繼“Don't Know Why”之後最受歡迎的經典單曲；“Not Too Late”以質樸簡約的琴音帶出瓊絲真摯明朗的吟唱，曲子不長卻留存無盡餘韻。
