Rish · Answer

Come Away With Me: Norah Jones's Come Away With Me is one of the best debut albums in the history of music. This album is absolutely filled with jazzy, intimate songs that wouldn't be out of place in a smoky night club or a cozy, snowy winter evening. I love almost every track on this album. From the songwriting to the instrumentals, this album is great. This album is in many ways a precursor to Laufey and definitely worth checking out for anyone who is a fan of jazzy sounds applied to a pop setting.
