Norah Jones crafted Visions, her ninth solo studio album, in collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Leon Michels (Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Lee Fields & The Expressions, The Arcs). The 12-song effort is described in press materials as “the yang to the yin that was Pick Me Up The Floor” in reference to her last record of new original songs which came out in June 2020 while the pandemic was raging.

“The reason I called the album Visions is because a lot of the ideas came in the middle of the night or in that moment right before sleep, and ‘Running’ was one of them where you’re half asleep and kind of jolted awake,” noted Jones. “We did most of the songs in the same way where I was at the piano or on guitar and Leon was playing drums and we were just jamming on stuff. I like the rawness between me and Leon, the way it sounds kind of garage-y but also kind of soulful, because that’s where he’s coming from, but also not overly perfected.”

Jones previously worked with Leon Michels on the one-off 2023 single, “Can You Believe” and her 2021 holiday album, I Dream Of Christmas. Michels brought in fellow Daptone Records family members trumpeter Dave Guy and drummer Homer Steinweiss to contribute to Visions, which also features bassist Jesse Murphy (Brazilian Girls, John Scofield) and longtime Norah Jones collaborator drummer Brian Blade.

Norah Jones plays electric guitar, keyboards and piano on “Running” with Leon Michels adding drums, tambourine and baritone saxophone to the haunting track. Stream the lead single from Visions below:
