Norah Jones / Little Broken Hearts reissue

3LP vinyl and 2CD deluxe

Norah Jones’ 2012 album …Little Broken Hearts will be reissued early next month.

Her fifth record was a big change in style as she collaborated with Danger Mouse for a striking collaboration which arrived a decade after her massive-selling debut Come Away With Me. It’s a brilliant record!

“10 years later, these are still some of my favourite songs in my catalogue to play live, no matter the instrumentation or arrangement, they just feel special,” says Jones. “And the way this album sounds makes my ears so happy. I’m incredibly thankful to Danger Mouse for letting me explore with him and opening up my world to a new way of doing things that continues to inspire and influence me.”

The 2CD and 3LP vinyl sets are expanded and both offer 19 bonus tracks. The three songs from the original Target exclusive CD (‘Killing Time’, ‘I Don’t Wanna Hear Another Sound’ and ‘Out On The Road (Mondo Version)’ are included along with five remixes, four of which were originally from the Little Broken Hearts Remix EP which was issued on 10-inch vinyl in late 2012 in the USA as a Black Friday release (there was a European version of this as well).

That content fills up the first CD or the first two LPs. So the final discs is a previously unreleased live set from Austin City Limits where Norah Jones plays almost the whole album in sequential order.

There was a 2CD deluxe issued back in the day which offered a live performance from the We Love Green Festival on the second disc. That content is not repeated here. Various promo CD singles also offered instrumental versions of singles and the occasional radio edit, but none of them feature in this reissue. If the packshots are anything to go by this will also be presented in a jewel case, which is slightly disappointing (the original 2CD deluxe was a six-panel card sleeve with poster insert).

The album was only ever issued as a 2LP set in 2012 but now as well as the 3LP version, there’s a single LP edition. Labels usually reissue a single vinyl LPs as a double LP sets, so it’s curious to see the opposite happening with …Little Broken Hearts since they are now squeezing onto one record for all instances of this reissue!

…Little Broken Hearts will be reissued on 2 June 2023 via Blue Note.
