What can Norah Jones mean by that title? Is The Fall a reference to the
season of mellow fruitfulness or does it imply something darker, a fall from
grace? One might suspect the former. After all, since she arrived seven years
ago in a welter of Grammy awards for her debut, Come Away With Me, Norah
has played little Miss Mellow, clocking up an astonishing 35m sales with her
languid, jazzy croon. She's ventured out of her comfort zone rarely,
principally on side projects, showing up in fishnets and blond wig with her
punk band, El Madmo, for example.
It doesn't take long to realise that The Fall is unveiling a rather different Ms
Jones to the tasteful, piano-led balladeer of her first three albums. There
are, for sure, a couple of familiar, wistful love calls, like the opening two cuts,
"Chasing Pirates" and "Even Though", but the dominant sound is
guitar-heavy, with an echoing atmosphere reminiscent of Tom Waits's Mule
Variations. The similarity is no accident, the producer here being Waits
veteran Jacquire King, who has set Jones's engaging, husky vocals in an
ambience of clanging guitars, loping rhythms and electronic tics, courtesy of
an array of New York sessioneers (and the singer herself).

Norah's regular band is gone, as is her long-time beau and bass player, Lee
Alexander; the couple split 18 months ago. It's perhaps little surprise that her
songs boast a new-found toughness, their scenarios plucked from the chaotic
emotional life of a single New Yorker. "Back to Manhattan" finds Norah torn
between lovers on opposite sides of the river, while "Stuck", co-written with
Texan rocker Will Sheff, describes a drunken, unhappy night on the town.
She's either bereft û in "the loneliest place I have known" on the austerely
beautiful "December" û or vengeful, vowing to "tape your picture over his" on
the churning "Young Blood", and delivering a righteous, southern "you done
me wrong" on "Tell Yer Mama".

Then there's "It's Gonna Be", a broadside against the banality of vapid TV
chat shows that rages to a funky electric keyboard and pounding drums. It's
the sole song that doesn't dwell on affairs of the heart, which return, drolly,
on "Man of the Hour". Asked to choose between "a vegan and a pothead",
Norah settles for her fellow cover star, her pet dog. At 30, the enchanting
Ms Jones has clearly become her own woman.
