Album Description
Available in:
Little Broken Hearts (stylized as ...Little Broken Hearts) is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Norah Jones, released on April 25, 2012 by Blue Note Records. This is Jones' first release since 2009's The Fall. The album is produced by Brian Burton, better known as Danger Mouse, who is notable for his production work with The Black Keys, Gnarls Barkley, and Beck among others. On April 15, the entire album streamed online on NPR. The album has sold 741,000 copies so far.
The leading single of the album was "Happy Pills", released digitally on March 6, 2012 which debuted at 46 in US Billboard Rock Songs and 15 in US Billboard Adult Contemporary and received mostly positive reviews. It tells the story of Jones emancipating herself from a relationship and finding that she is better off alone.
User Album Review
On 2011’s Rome, singer Norah Jones, producer Brian ‘Danger Mouse’ Burton, guitarist Jack White and film score composer Daniele Luppi paid homage to old Italo-Western movies with twinkling chimes, twangy guitar riffs, and notable vocal performances. While many of the instrumentals held up without words, the concept album saw new life when Jones took to the microphone. If anything could be gleaned from the project, it’s that good things happen when she sings atop Burton’s arrangements.
On Little Broken Hearts, the two musicians explore the concept of heartbreak, investigating its unpleasant aspects with refreshing candour and sardonic wit. Albums about heartbreak certainly aren’t new, but Jones puts fresh spin on a familiar topic with lovelorn musings that are wistful and carefree, meditative and ebullient.
Good Morning, the album’s effective opener, is a delightfully sweet blend of airy synthesizers and melancholic strings, held together by Jones’ angelic falsetto. “I’m folding my hand,” the singer softly repeats over Burton’s oceanic production. She’s 22 carries a similar ventilated backdrop, but the result is a bit more pensive when paired with Jones’ gloomy deliberation: “You can throw away, every word I say.”
Then there’s the haunting Miriam, a morbidly sublime tune on which the singer threatens the woman with whom her man cheats. Here, Jones sings: “I’m gonna smile when I take your life.” Conversely, Happy Pills and Say Goodbye are cheery pop fare, on which the vocalist sings joyously about the break-up. Amid funky guitar grooves, Jones sounds playfully detached from said relationship.
Therein lays the success of Little Broken Hearts. Unlike other disheartened recordings, some of which are more sullen than others, Jones never sounds too depressed on this set. Instead, she keeps the mood fairly moderate amongst Burton’s fluid soundtrack, setting the pace with a wry bravado that makes this album a dynamic listen, even if she’s dumping a guy. Heartbreak is inevitable if you love hard enough, yet Jones and Burton make it enjoyable.
