New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Norah Jones has released a stunning new video for "Hurts To Be Alone," which the nine-time GRAMMY winning singer, songwriter, and pianist directed herself.
"Hurts To Be Alone" appears on Jones' seventh solo studio album Pick Me Up Off The Floor, which will be released in an expanded 30-track digital
Deluxe Edition on October 16 featuring 17 at-home performances culled from her much-loved weekly livestreams. The
Deluxe Edition will include live versions of Norah's previously unreleased original song "Light Wind Blowing" along with songs from the new album, favorites from her back catalog, jazz standards ("How Deep Is The Ocean"), covers of
Guns N' Roses ("
Patience") and Kris Kristofferson ("For The Good Times"), and tributes to
John Prine ("That's The Way The World Goes Round") and her father
Ravi Shankar ("I Am Missing You"). See below for a full track listing.
The New Yorker raved about her "Extraordinary At-Home Concerts" writing "The live-at-home approach suits Jones ideally. It foregrounds her directness and natural musicianship, reminding us (as if we could have forgotten) that she is a truly great singer and a stylish pianist… The music is what Jones's music has been all along: standards, in the broadest sense, and originals akin to the standards, all founded on her economical, artful piano playing and her extraordinary voice."
Pick Me Up Off The Floor was released in June to wide acclaim, a set of new original songs that spoke deeply to the moment and featured collaborators including
Jeff Tweedy and Brian Blade. The songs were drawn from various sessions for her singles series but the album held together beautifully, connected by the sly groove of her piano trios, lyrics that confront loss and portend hope, and a heavy mood that leans into darkness before ultimately finding the light.
