A favourite raga of mine from the vaults.

Bhairavi is traditionally a morning raga, but in forms like Sindhi Bhairavi it often wanders into looser, more romantic, late-night moods. I often turn to it in moments of sadness or melancholy, and find it always carries me through.
Revisiting an epic and meaningful moment from North Sea Jazz Festival this summer: the very first time my beautiful sister Norah Jones and I performed together onstage.

‘Traces of You,’ a song full of memory; written in love, shared in joy.

This Prom began as wish.

It’s been an incredible journey - one that led me (eventually!) to the @royalalberthall.bsky.social with London Contemporary Orchestra and Robert Ames, where we performed all three albums from start to finish.

As I look towards my summer European shows, I find myself also looking back to another—this time at Konzerthaus Dortmund Konzerthaus in 2013! A special time!

Thank you so much! 🙏🏾
We have to remember, even in these times of constant ugliness and struggle, moments of beauty can transport us back to where we were and where we are headed. This is all a temporary reminder that humanity, love, and peace takes persistent care and nurturing.

‘Chapter III: We Return To Light’ has been out in the world for less than a week, and what a ride it’s been!

I’m so proud of the path all three mini-albums take, and hope you can feel within them the emotional core of the haiku their titles come together to create 🧡

I can hardly believe it: ‘Chapter III: We Return To Light’ is finally yours 🌅

I hope you can listen to each Chapter and hear the sentiment of the haiku I formed with each title—

𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓, 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑵𝒐𝒘
𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑰𝒕 𝑰𝒔 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒘𝒏
𝑾𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝑻𝒐 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕
