Settle Down, New No Doubt Album Due September 25th; New Single, 'Settle Down' Out Now

No Doubt Settle Down

I'm ashamed to admit how neglectful my blog has been recently, of No Doubt, one of the bands that helped get me through high school, and for that I sincerely apologize.  My copy of the band's 1995 breakthrough album, Tragic Kingdom has been played SO many times that I don't even know how it still works but I'm happy it does.  Now, nearly 17 years after the release of Tragic Kingdom, and nearly 11 years after the release of Rock Steady (their last album), the Gwen Stefani-fronted  ska punk/reggae fusion, alt-pop/rock foursome is back with a new single, a new album and a new video. Hallelujah!

As the release date for Norah Jones's fifth studio album, Little Broken Hearts, draws nearer, Jones' promotional calendar appears to be filling up quite quickly.  Starting with the premiere of her "Goodbye Earl"-reminiscent video (BELOW) for lead single, "Happy Pills," earlier this month on VH1, Jones is in the midst of a media blitz that includes appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman (May 2nd), Good Morning America (May 3rd), The View (May 7th), and The Rachael Ray Show (May 9th).  In addition, Jones will be taping an episode of VH1 Storytellers, set to air June 8th. Past Storytellers subjects have included Sheryl Crow, Ray LaMontagne, Dave Matthews Band, Alanis Moirissette, Jewel and many more of the most prolific artists of our time.  This must be quite the honor for Norah Jones!

Norah Jones Set To Release New Danger Mouse-Produced Album May 1st


Photo Credit: Frank W. Ockenfels
I think it's safe to say that Little Broken Hearts might be my most anticipated Norah Jones album of her entire career and I really have to thank musician, producer, 1/2 of Gnarls Barkley AND 1/2 of  Broken Bells  - Danger Mouse - for that. I've been a fan of Norah Jones since she released her highly acclaimed, Grammy-winning 2002 debut Come Away With Me, but there's something about a Danger Mouse collaboration that just gets me all sorts of giddy. Throw on Norah Jones' trademark bluesy vocal and you've really got something to talk about.  Jones is set to release her 12-song fifth studio album via Blue Note/EMI on May 1st, with plans to back the release with an extensive international tour.  Check out this snippet from the official press release:
"Little Broken Hearts is the fascinating next step in the artistic evolution of one of the music world’s most consistently intriguing singer-songwriters. Jones first emerged on the world stage 10 years ago this month with the February 2002 release of Come Away With Me, her self-described “moody little record” that introduced a singular new voice and grew into a global phenomenon, sweeping the 2003 Grammy Awards and signaling a paradigm shift away from the prevailing synthetic pop music of the time. Come Away With Me has just become the #10 best-selling album of the Soundscan era. The album has sold 25 million copies worldwide."
