Was this review helpful? Yes - NoNorah is AWESOME!
Pros: Music and Lyrics are amazing!
Cons: "Sinkin' Soon" is kinda a small turn off, with the cheap broadway musical sound.
Basically, if you take out "Sinkin' Soon" it'd be a full 100%. But because it's Nora Jones, the song only takes about .01% away from this album! So, over all, 99.99% It's VERY amazing, how she can just sing, and make everything around you stand still! Just amazing!

How do you follow up two Grammy award-winning opuses? As Norah Jones' candid reply to the demand for her music, put out the third one. Case in point: Not Too Late just came in time. Norah Jones latest effort bids goodbye to the magic of Arif Mardin as a producer. Mardin, who passed away last year, blessed Jones' debut effort, Come Away With Me, with an armful of Grammys back in 2003. Will Not Too Late do the same trick come next year? My instinct tells me yes. With the same relaxing folk-pop-jazz blend, Grammy voters will surely give her a nod or two. The album opens with the mellow hit "Wish I Could". Jones even goes political with the track "My Dear Country". However, the album's shining moments come through with tracks like "Wake Me Up", as an ode to a love gone wrong; and the title track, "Not Too Late", a theme of redemption.
"Not Too Late" comes in a deluxe edition which features live performances of Jones and accompanying videos to selected tracks giving more bang to your buck. Consider a niche in your CD case for this album, it is really worth buying.Was this review helpful? Yes - No.............tuyet voi !

Was this review helpful? Yes - NoHer Third CD!
Pros: great songs
Cons: none
i love norah jones. her first album was a huge success. there's one point in my life that 'don't know why' song became our house anthem (hehehe). anyway, this third album is a good one...but i still love her first album. but as long as norah jones' voice is inside a song...i just grabbed and bring it home. come and get one.

Pros: A Great Country Album
Cons: none
Recoils from fame usually aren't as subdued as Norah Jones' third album Not Too Late, but such understatement is customary for this gentlest of singer/songwriters. Not Too Late may not be as barbed or alienating as either In Utero or Kid A it's not an ornery intensification of her sound nor a chilly exploration of its furthest limits but make no mistake, it is indeed a conscious abdication of her position as a comfortable coffeehouse crooner and a move toward art for art's sake. And, frankly, who can blame Jones for wanting to shake off the Starbucks stigmata? Although a large part of her appeal has always been that she sounds familiar, like a forgotten favorite from the early '70s, Jones is too young and too much a New York bohemian to settle into a role as a nostalgia peddler, so it made sense that she started to stretch a little after her 2004 sophomore set Feels Like Home proved that her surprise blockbuster 2002 debut Come Away With Me was no fluke. First, there was the cabaret country of her Little Willies side band, then there was her appearance on gonzo artrocker Mike Patton's Peeping Tom project, and finally there's this hushed record, her first containing nothing but original compositions. It's also her first album recorded without legendary producer Arif Mardin, who helmed her first two albums (he passed away in the summer of 2006), giving them a warm, burnished feel that was nearly as pivotal to Jones' success has her sweet, languid voice. Mardin died in the summer of 2006 and in his absence, Jones recorded Not Too Late at the home studio she shares with her collaborator, bassist and boyfriend Lee Alexander. Although it shares many of the same sonic characteristics as Jones' first two albums, Not Too Late boasts many subtle differences that add up to a distinctly different aesthetic. Jones and Alexander have stripped Norah's music to its core. Gone are any covers of pop standards, gone are the studio pros, gone is the enveloping lushness that made Come Away With Me so easy to embrace, something that Not Too Late is most decidedly not. While this might not have the rough edges of a 4track demo, Not Too Late is most certainly music that was made at home with little or no consideration of an audience much larger than Jones and Alexander. It's spare, sometimes skeletal, often sleepy and lackadaisical, wandering from tunes plucked out on acoustic guitars and pianos to those with richer full band arrangements. Norah Jones has never exactly been lively part of her charm was her sultry slowness, ideal for both Sunday afternoons and late nights but the atmosphere here stultifying even if it's not exactly unpleasant. After all, unpleasantness seems to run contrary to Jones' nature, and even if she dabbles in Tom Waitsian carnivalesque stomps (�Sinkin' Soon�) or tentatively stabs at politics (�My Dear Country�), it never feels out of place; often, the shift is so subtle that it's hard to notice. That subtlety is the biggest Achilles heel on Not Too Late, as it manifests itself in songs that aren't particularly distinctive or performances that are particularly varied. There are exceptions to the rule and they all arrive with full band arrangements, whether it's the lazy jazz shuffle of �Until the End,� the countrytinged �Be My Somebody� or the wonderful laidback soul of �Thinking About You.� These are songs that not only sound full but they sound complete, songs that have a purposeful flow and are memorable for both their melody and sentiment. They would have been standouts on Feels Like Home but here they are even more distinctive because the rest of the record plays like a sketchbook, capturing Jones and Alexander figuring out how to move forward after such great success. Instead of being the end result of those experiments, the completed painting after the sketch, Not Too Soon capture
