Born Norah Jones Shankar to the musician Ravi Shankar and concert producer Sue Jones, Norah grew up around music. At 16, she changed her name to Norah Jones and began playing solo gigs in the Dallas area. Her appeal was cemented at the 2003 Grammy Awards, where she won Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal performance, and Best Pop Vocal Performance. She has worked with several notable people such as Billie Joe Armstrong, Eli Wolf, Ray Charles, and Jeff Tweedy.

Begin Again is a gem among Jones' work that showcases her musical boundaries and ability to blend genres together. There is something very freeing about the songs on this album as they resist simple categorization and are experimental in that they come from the many musical inspirations that Jones has. "It Was You" starts off with wordless vocals over a horn section and transitions smoothly into a piano line, ultimately ending with an organ-laced chorus. "Just a Little Bit" is a critic favorite that has an intricate, hypnotic blend of vocal interplay and syncopated rhythm.
