Norah Jones has one of those voices I just never grow tired of. She's won 9 grammies and sold 37 million albums and you can hear why. She sites Bill Evans and Billie Holiday as two of her favorite artists and inspirations, which is probably why I like her so much, being a massive Billie Holiday fan myself.
Sinkin' soon is from her 2007 album 'Too late'. Apparently they couldn't get the song right whilst trying to record it so they went out for a few drinks, 'I guess we needed a little bit of that drunken sailor vibe' said Jones, 'because we came back and recorded this on the first take'.
Drunk or not, they produced a song with such a chilled out vibe that I can't resist listening to it whilst reading snuggled up in a warm blanket on a cold january evening. Enjoy.
