On November 17th, Blue Note Records will release singer/songwriter Norah Jones' fourth studio album, The Fall. Taking her multiple Grammy Award winning talent into new territory, The Fall was produced by Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, Kings of Leon) and features Norah's new band members and songwriting collaborations with Ryan Adams, Okkervil River's Will Sheff, and Jesse Harris. In addition to the added emphasis on rhythm, The Fall brings Norah’s own guitar playing front and center in the sound.

"I knew I wanted to try some different things on this album," Jones says. "I'd been playing with the same musicians for a long time. We're all still friendly and I hope we play together again, but it felt like a good time to work with new people and experiment with different sounds. As far as a producer, I wanted someone who could take me out of my comfort zone and find the right musicians to capture what I wanted to do with this collection of songs. I got in touch with Jacquire initially because he engineered one of my favorite records of all time, Tom Waits' Mule Variations. He was really eager to do it and we got along really well, which was important."
