Anyone who is a fan of Norah Jones, Katie Melluah, Amy Winehouse and the like, will find themselves instantly lost in this beautiful prequel to 'Come Away with Me'. Recorded before she hit the big time, New York City has a little more innocence and simplicity about it than some of Norah's later work. You won't be disappointed if you are looking for something to relax to, or daydream to. Norah's voice is beautiful as ever and she is well accompanied. An excellent purchase! (and a great CD to have on in the background during a romantic evening..)
