Norah Jones is back with her latest track ‘Running,’ the lead single off her upcoming album Visions via Blue Note Records. The forthcoming LP was produced in collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist, Leon Michels.

‘Running’ was co-written by Jones and Michels, and features Jones on vocals, piano, guitar, and bass with Leon on drums and baritone saxophone. Michels is no stranger to the industry, having played saxophone in Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and with Lee Fields & The Expressions, Dan Auerbach’s band The Arcs, Menahan Street Band, and his own project El Michels Affair. Michels and Jones first collaborated on the single “Can You Believe” and later worked together on Jones’ 2021 holiday album I Dream of Christmas.

Accompanying the single release is a vibrant, colour-saturated video, directed by Joelle Grace Taylor, which echoes the shimmering hues of technicolour filters.

Set for release on 8 March 2024, Visions is a vibrant and joyous record that finds Jones singing about feeling free, wanting to dance, making it right, and acceptance of what life brings. It is the followup sequel to Pick Me Up Off The Floor, Jones’ last album of new original songs which was released early in the pandemic lockdown of 2020 and presaged many of the dismal emotions of that period.

Jones spoke about the production and recording process for this album, commenting: “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.”

“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,” she continued.

Visions will be released on 8 March 2024 via Blue Note Records, and is available for pre-order now.
