Norah Jones kicked off a run of TV appearances last night, November 11, on CBS Late Show With David Letterman with a performance of "Chasing Pirates," the lead single from her forthcoming album The Fall, which will be released by EMI's Blue Note Records on November 17.
Jones has also announced performances on ABC Good Morning America (November 16), Comedy Central The Colbert Report (November 18) and ABC The View (November 23). Interview segments on ABC News Nightline, CNN Headline News, and NPR Morning Edition are also slated to air during the week of release. The Fall is currently streaming in its entirety as part of NPR Music's "Exclusive First Listen" series until November 17.
"Chasing Pirates" has already been heating up the airwaves. The video received its world premiere on VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown on October 31 and has since been put into rotation on both VH1 and mtvU. The single has also been embraced in multiple radio formats, already cracking the Top 5 at AAA, Top 10 at Smooth Jazz, Top 25 at AC, and is going for adds at Hot AC this week.
The Fall finds Jones experimenting with a new set of collaborators, including Jacquire King, a noted producer and engineer who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, and Modest Mouse among others. Jones enlisted several songwriting collaborators, including Ryan Adams and Okkervil River's Will Sheff, as well as her frequent partner Jesse Harris. King also helped Jones put together a new group of musicians to perform on the album, including drummers Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.) and James Gadson (Bill Withers), keyboardist James Poyser (Erykah Badu, Al Green), and guitarists Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello) and Smokey Hormel (Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer).
