Whoever broke Norah Jones’ heart definitely made an impact on her latest album. “Little Broken Hearts,” takes a different route from her past releases with a broken, edgy sound. The soulful and sweet melodies of the popular song “Don’t Know Why” sound far better than the track list from “Little Broken Hearts.” Only a couple songs don’t describe murder, sadness or despair. “Happy Pills” and “After The Fall” offer more upbeat tempos, which were a little refreshing. Jones’ first album, “Come Away With Me” put heron the map as a talented artist and won her five Grammy awards, including Album of the Year and Best New Artist. Produced by Danger Mouse, “Little Broken Hearts” has an overall interesting twist that would be best to hear when not involved in relationship troubles.
