This compilation really contains everything. What better and more impressive way to explain Norah Jones' extraordinary class and skill, and the deep impression she leaves on artists of all kinds, than with a compendium of her incredibly diverse collaborations that span her entire career? "Featuring" is a star-studded collection of songs that this countless times platinum and Grammy award-winning artist has recorded with a variety of bands and solo artists throughout her nearly decade-long career. The eighteen songs on this stylistically diverse Blue Note album include duets with legends like Ray Charles, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton, as well as recordings with contemporary stars like Ryan Adams, OutKast and the Foo Fighters. "...Featuring" ranges from one of the earliest recordings to recent collaborations such as the gorgeous "Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John" with Belle and Sebastian. This compilation is a seemingly indispensable footnote to a career that has already reached more than respectable proportions with 40 million copies of their four studio albums sold worldwide. What's more, all of these collaborations reveal Norah Jones' amazing versatility, able to tap into all musical disciplines from country and jazz to hip hop and rock. You can feel the passion with which Norah Jones approaches each song, making her a full-blooded musician whose tremendous openness is reflected in the best way on "...Featuring". It's hard to find a better way to bridge the time until the release of Norah Jones' next great solo album. Review "On this new album, the musician has fulfilled a long-held wish and recorded duets with many well-known colleagues that are influenced by jazz in the broadest sense of the word. An album without a single failure!" (Good Times, 12 / 2010 - 01 / 2011) "Compilations for the pre-Christmas trade: they are often more important to the record company than to the fans. In this case, however, the purchase might be worthwhile, because ,... Featuring" brings together 18 songs from various albums on which Norah Jones has collaborated with a variety of musicians." (Stereo, 12 / 2010) "Country, folk, jazz, hip-hop and soul: duets collected. Norah Jones' side projects and collaborations." (musikexpress, 12 / 2010) , "The more one listens to Norah Jones, the more apparent her roots in the American folk tradition become, from the sharply sloppy phrasing, tendentiously harsh vocal timbre, and arrangements of vocal phrases to the nature-like instrumentation of most of her recordings and the laconic attitude of unforced perfection." (Sono, 12 / 2010) Press review: motor. de: "Norah Jones releases a collaborative album with other artists. Among the 18 songs are tracks with Dolly Parton, Ray Charles, OutKast and the Foo Fighters.

The album's eighteen songs include duets with legends like Ray Charles, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton, and with 21st century icons from OutKast to the Foo Fighters. The songs on ...Featuring span her entire career, from one of her earliest recordings (Roxy Music's version of "More Than This" with guitarist Charlie Hunter in 2001) to her latest effort, the song "Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John," which she recorded with Belle and Sebastian and which appears on their new album. "When I'm asked to sing with someone I admire, it's exciting, flattering and fun," Jones says. "When you're doing something with another artist, it's a little out of your comfort zone. You don't know what to expect - it's like being a little kid and going out to play." Also included are recordings of some of Jones' own bands and side projects (The Little Willies and El Madmo) and performances with artists she's toured with, such as M. Ward, Sasha Dobson and Gillian Welch, and David Rawlings. The album ...Featuring features songs from classics recorded by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell and Roy Orbison to new songs by such innovators as Ryan Adams and Q-Tip. "A lot of the people on this record are people I've worshipped since I was a kid, and some of them are younger and more my contemporaries," Jones says. "Even though the musicians are so diverse, the vibe of the songs makes sense when you put them together." (norahjones. com)
