Day Breaks finds Norah Jones returning to her jazz roots with grace and maturity. Released in 2016, the album embraces a rich, organic sound built around live instrumentation and elegant arrangements. It features Jones on piano throughout, drawing comparisons to her landmark debut Come Away With Me. With songs like the politically tinged “Flipside,” the heartfelt “Tragedy,” and a poignant cover of Neil Young’s “Don’t Be Denied,” Day Breaks is a reflective, soulful record that showcases Jones’s growth as a songwriter and bandleader.
