The story behind
The song Feelin’ the Same Way, with its 2:57 duration, immerses itself in an intimate and warm atmosphere, characteristic of the sound that Norah Jones was defining in her early days. The piece, part of her debut album Come Away With Me, was recorded in New York studios such as Sorcerer Sound Studio and Allaire Studios in Shokan, New York. The production of this work was handled by Norah Jones herself, along with Jay Newland and Craig Street, while the recording engineering was done by Husky Huskolds and Brandon Mason, and the mixing was carried out by Jay Newland and Todd Parker.
This album, released on February 26, 2002, under the Blue Note Records label, marked an important milestone in Norah Jones's career. It reached the top of the Billboard 200 chart in the United States and received prestigious Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. By February 15, 2005, the album had already been certified Diamond by the RIAA, surpassing ten million copies sold in the country. Worldwide, sales exceeded 27 million by 2016, consolidating it as one of the most successful albums of all time and the best-selling debut by a female artist. Norah Jones's music, which combines elements of jazz, soul, and country, draws from influences as diverse as Billie Holiday, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Bill Evans, and Joni Mitchell, a musical legacy that is perceived in the depth and simplicity of songs like Feelin’ the Same Way.
