Norah Jones is to make her long-awaited return to New Zealand in April 2019.

The ‘Come Away With Me’ singer will perform five headline dates in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Queenstown and Christchurch in April 2019. These will be the beguiling pianist and vocalist’s first performances in New Zealand in 14 years!

Jones’ groundbreaking 2002 debut album, Come Away With Me, was a massive global phenomenon, selling 27 million copies worldwide and is certified 12 times platinum in New Zealand alone!. To date, Jones has sold over 50 million albums globally, her incredible career showcasing an enviable versatility and true mastery of her craft. From jazz to country, folk, rock and soul, Jones is a singular talent whose work crosses all the boundaries of American music – as evidenced on her chart-topping solo releases: Feels Like Home (2004), Not Too Late (2007), The Fall (2009), the genre-bending Little Broken Hearts (2012, produced by Danger Mouse), and her most recent longplayer, Day Breaks (2016). Not to mention, her work with collective bands The Little Willies and Puss N Boots.

One of the music world’s most consistently intriguing singer-songwriters, Jones’ sees her latest album, Day Breaks, as a kind of kindred spirit to her smash hit debut, the singer returning to her unmistakably unique sound.

Jones’ list of collaborators and musical admirers across the years reads like a ‘who’s who’ of the biggest names in music. Icons such as Outkast, Q-Tip, Herbie Hancock, Belle & Sebastian, Dolly Parton and Foo Fighters, for example, all appeared on her 2010 compilation, …Featuring Norah Jones.

Last week saw the release of ‘Wintertime’, the fourth in a series of eclectic singles that Jones has been releasing over recent months, and the second offering from her collaboration with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy. Co-written by Jones and Tweedy, ‘Wintertime’ features Jones on vocals and piano, Tweedy on guitar and bass, and Spencer Tweedy on drums. It follows the release of Jones and Tweedy’s ‘A Song With No Name’, the organ-and-horn drenched soul song ‘It Was You’ featuring drummer Brian Blade, bassist Christopher Thomas, organist Pete Remm, trumpeter Dave Guy, and tenor saxophonist Leon Michels, and the riveting ‘My Heart Is Full’, a collaboration with Thomas Bartlett.
