About the album

Come Away With Me, according to DoReSol

The impact of Come Away With Me was notable from its release. The record climbed to the top of the Billboard charts, including the number one spot on the main list and in several jazz categories. It was a critical and commercial success, appearing on "album of the year" lists and earning significant accolades. By February 2005, it had already achieved diamond certification in the United States, selling over 10 million copies in its first three years, and globally, it became her best-selling work.

Among the fourteen songs that make up the album, tracks like Don’t Know Why and Come Away With Me stood out for capturing the essence of the record. The production, which aimed for an intimate and organic sound, contributed to the album feeling like a personal experience. This work not only defined the beginning of Norah Jones's career but also positioned itself as a benchmark within jazz, demonstrating that a softer, more melodic approach could achieve broad reach.
