New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Norah Jones' highly-anticipated sixth solo album, Day Breaks, arrives this Friday, October 7, and has already been hailed by MOJO as "her masterpiece to date." A third song from the album, "Tragedy," was just released (link to listen).
Norah is set for a pair of upcoming TV performances to showcase the new songs on Day Breaks. On October 5, she will perform "Flipside" on NBC's The
Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Then, on October 10, she will appear on The Today Show to perform "
Carry On" and "Tragedy."
Norah will take over the intimate Loreto Theater at NYC's Sheen Center for a special four-night residency from October 10-13.

The New York Times recently ran an Arts & Leisure cover feature about Norah, while Day Breaks was named one of this Fall's must-hear albums by Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly, and Billboard. A profile in
Texas Monthly tells the story of Norah's journey, beginning as an aspiring jazz pianist and singer growing up in Dallas to becoming a 9-time GRAMMY Award winner who has sold over 45 million albums worldwide, while staying true to herself and continuing to blaze her own path.
