Close

Day Breaks is the sixth solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Norah Jones, released on October 7, 2016, through Blue Note Records. The album features nine original songs and three covers. Jones returned to a piano-driven sound as heard on releases early in her career. It peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200, becoming her sixth album to reach the top ten. Day Breaks received positive reviews from music critics, with many praising the album's production and Jones' vocals with many comparing it favorably to her debut album Come Away with Me. Jones promoted the album with television performances and interviews. To further promote the album, Jones embarked on Daybreaks World Tour.

Day Breaks received an average score of 77/100 from 10 reviews on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic rated the album four out of five stars and wrote that "Jones' originals feel as elegant as time-honored standards, and all her covers feel fresh. The former speak to her craft, the latter to her gifts as a stylist, and the two combine to turn Day Breaks into a satisfying testament to her ever-evolving musicianship." Glenn Gamboa of Newsday rated the album an "A", calling it Jones' "latest masterpiece." Rating the album an "A-", Entertainment Weekly's Jim Farber writes of Jones: "Not since her entrancing debut has she sounded this engaged."

Tomorrow sees the release of Day Breaks Deluxe Edition, a new expanded version of Norah Jones’ acclaimed album. A 2-CD set and limited edition 2-LP 180g silver foil-cover vinyl are available to order on the Norah Jones Store, and the Deluxe Edition will also be available at all physical and digital retailers and streaming services on October 27. The expanded track listing includes the addition of nine songs recorded live in New York City during Norah’s album release shows in October 2016.
