"Feels Like Home", as you know, is the second album to be released from Norah Jones and it came out in 2004. Having not heard her debut "Come Away With Me", I can not compare, but this CD features some songs that have absolutely blew me away.
The lovely "Sunrise" opens the disk and is the albums first single. It is a fun and playful but also laid-back and simple song in a way. The video is excellent by the way. "What Am I To You?" is a beautiful song which Norah wrote around the Come Away With Me era, and it features some blues and country influences and this was the second single. "Those Sweet Words" was the third single to be released from this album but it is not of my favourites. For my liking, it is just a bit bland, but not to say that it is not a very beautiful song, because it is. "Carnival Song" is another weak spot on this album. It is a slow ballad that doesn't really go anywhere for me, but this and more is forgiven with the albums best song so far "In The Morning" which brings so much life and energy back into this album! Norah's vocals and the song it self is very powerful and uplifting, and I like how it has more than one climax. It is an upbeat song and defiantly one of the best. "Be Here To Love Me" is a nice contrast to the other sings before it is written in 3/4, and like the previous track, it is very powerful and uplifting.
"Creepin' In" is the country duet with Dolly Parton. This song keeps the energy going and is a nice, fun track, this is again very different to all the others, but not to say that it doesn't flow well with the next track "Toes". This was one of my early favourites, and like tracks 5 and 6, it still is. The verses are very beautiful and I find the chorus very sexy, and I like the repetitiveness of the line 'My toes just touch the water'. "Humble Me" is the return of classic Norah Jones. Beginning with a simple acoustic guitar, the song becomes a very beautiful ballad, and like the sixth track, it is written in 3/4. It is atmospheric and lush. "Above Ground" completely blows me away every time I hear it. The song has such a forceful and powerful chorus, and the verses have kind of a fast-pased quality to it that I can't really explain, but it defiantly works for me. Even though the song was not written by Norah, it is one of the albums best lyrically, and actually, one of the best songs I have ever heard. "The Long Way Home" follows, and is a nice simple and dreamy song, and is followed by "The Prettiest Thing", which like the previous track is quite simple, and is good but not great, and the album closes with a very underrated track "Don't Miss You At All", which happens to be another of my favourites from this album, although it took me quite a while to really get in to. It is just Norah and her piano.
Therefore, I do recommend this CD because there ARE some songs that will completely blow you away and Norah is one of my favourite vocalists of all-time, but it does seem to be a few tracks too long still. This CD sold very well, even compared with her debut album, which sold 20 million copies, and this album sold 11 million.

It's different from Come Away with Me, but it grew on me. Definitely different. It's still Norah Jones. Her voice continues to soothe, and at least half the song were written or co-written by her. It has less of a jazz sound than her first album, but her band is tighter. Her "Don't Miss You at All" is a reworking of a Duke Ellington piece and she solos and plays the piano.Free Music Review: DELICIOUS!

I immediately fell in love with her first album. Since most debut outings of such unadulterated quality are limited to a cult following, I was amazed by its success in the marketplace and was curious as to how she would respond and what direction she would take. Fortunately, she has carried on as a real person, creating and performing real music, while maintaining her perspective and sense of humor. An amazing accomplishment for a young person. I highly reccomend all of her products. GO, NORAH!
