DOUG JOHNSON: Welcome to AMERICAN MOSAIC in VOA Special English. I'm Doug Johnson. Today on our program, we listen to music from Norah Jones . DOUG JOHNSON: Norah Jones has released her fourth studio album, "The Fall." Critics say it is different from her earlier best-selling albums in many ways. Barbara Klein plays some examples. BARBARA KLEIN: Norah Jones is one of the most successful singers of recent years. She has sold more than thirty-five million albums. Critics have always praised her warm, deep, jazz-influenced style since her first big hit, "Don't Know Why." "The Fall" is her first solo album without Lee Alexander, her former boyfriend, bass player, songwriter and producer. Most of the songs on her new album are about loneliness and the difficult end of a relationship. "Back to Manhattan" is about having two lovers on opposite sides of New York City. A new group of well-known musicians play drums, keyboards and electric guitar on "The Fall." Jones also plays electric guitar on some of the songs. She played piano on her earlier albums. Critics say "The Fall" represents a new sound for Norah Jones. But they say fans of her earlier albums will not be disappointed. She continues her deep, jazzy sound while adding more pop and rock influences. "It's Gonna Be" is an example of this new sound with electric keyboard and pounding drums. Norah Jones begins a tour in March; she will be performing in thirty-six American cities. We leave you now with Norah Jones choosing to be with her dog in "Man of the Hour." HOST: I'm Doug Johnson. Our program was written by Shelley Gollust, Susan Logue Koster and Caty Weaver, who was also our producer. Join us again next week for AMERICAN MOSAIC, VOA's radio magazine in Special English.
