" She&amp;#039;s not exactly known as the master of surprise, but Norah Jones teaming up with Brian &amp;#039;Danger Mouse&amp;#039; Burton on last year&amp;#039;s Rome was a move few could have predicted. 11 years into a career that has seen her scoop up nine Grammys and top numerous bestseller lists with her breezy jazz-pop sound, you&amp;#039;d forgive her for resisting any major reinvention at this stage. That said, those familiar with her contribution to the LP will know that this couple aren&amp;#039;t as odd as you&amp;#039;d think. Rather than one adapting to the other, both Jones and Burton have met each other somewhere in the middle on her fifth studio opus Little Broken Hearts. The result is a combination of his dark and wistful production and her achingly soft vocal that can be heard on trailer song &amp;#039;Happy Pills&amp;#039;. Jones sings of heartbreak throughout with more contempt than we&amp;#039;ve ever heard from her before. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s alright and it&amp;#039;s okay/ I don&amp;#039;t need you anyway,&amp;quot; she scorns with breathy disdain on &amp;#039;Say Goodbye&amp;#039; - a track that will no doubt raise a brow from Lana Del Rey. Her angst reaches its most unnerving on &amp;#039;Take It Back&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;She&amp;#039;s 22&amp;#039; - the latter a barely-there ballad in which she asks: &amp;quot;Does she make you happy?&amp;quot;  Her stages of post-relationship grief come to a climax on penultimate track &amp;#039;Miriam&amp;#039;; a moody and atmospheric number with just a hint of menace that conjures up images of a pain-stricken Jones clutching to a bottle of gin as she unpicks the details of her lover&amp;#039;s affair. It might be dark, but this stunning collection of anguish is the brightest she&amp;#039;s shined in a long time.
