My review:
When Norah Jones hit song came out a few years ago, I instantly loved it - the song drew me in.  So, when I was offered the opportunity to review her new cd "Featuring" it seemed pretty much a proven fact that I would like it.  Boy, was I wrong - I LOVED IT!  Not only do I love it, but both of my daugthers love it to.  At 4 and 8, they definitely know what kind of music is good and which is bad.  This cd was definitely a hit!  Norah Jones has a voice of beauty.  Her voice is unlike any out there - different in a very good way.  I can't even begin to describe it, just that each song is different.  The sounds that come from her voice are legendary.  I wish I could sing as good as her.  The venue of music is from jazz, to hip hop to country, to blues - it puts you in so many different moods, all good and positve.  From one song, while listening you almost feel like sitting back, lighting some candles and sipping on a glass of wine, to wanting to watch Christmas movies (Baby It's Cold Outside), to getting up and dancing to relaxing in a bubble bath.  The songs are awesome and geared toward not one specific age group.  This cd will be a GREAT holiday present to any and all.

Disclosure:  I received this cd through my membership with One2One Network.  No monetary was given.
