7 July 2007 (Sawf News) - Norah Jones, with her sultry looks and even sultrier voice, was born for the stage. The young artist and first daughter of sitarist Ravi Shankar, has made her own mark in a very short time.
Jones’ debut album Come Away With Me in 2002, won over fans and critics alike with its original music, and soulful performances. NJ walked away with no less than six Grammys for her first effort. What’s truly remarkable is her ability to soothe the tired ear with just one song. An even harder feat to accomplish is making the next album just as hot but the Jonester scored again. Her latest work, Not Too Late, made its debut this year at number one on the charts. Proof positive that Miss Norah is no one-hit wonder, but a hard-core talent that kills us softly.
And what would be better than a hit album, but a live performance to cool off from the summer heat! NoJo recently rocked Bryant Park, New York City, as part of Good Morning America’s series of concerts. The concerts are without charge and open to the general public. With such A-list artists on the program, it’s no wonder the city is so packed this season.

In this recent photograph, songstress Norah inspires in a low-cut black-and-white polka dot summer top with cool blue denims. ‘Cause when you’re playing to a large audience in one of the steamiest venues in the world, it helps to stay chic and comfortable. She’s been giving sister Anoushka plenty of competition with her own music. Not to mention a full-fledged acting debut opposite Jude Law in My Blueberry Nights, which kicked off the Cannes film festival. Singing, writing, acting, is there nothing you can’t do, Miss Jones?
