Norah Jones in the Studio for February 2004 Release

Blue Note Records has confirmed that Norah Jones has returned to the studio to record her as-yet-untitled second album, due in February 2004. The winner of eight Grammys remains in the Top 40 of the Billboard 200 chart, but Norah is moving on.

“I really can't think about the success of last year," she says, referring to her multi-platinum selling debut album Come Away With Me. “I'm just focusing on trying to make the best music I can at this point."

Veteran Arif Mardin is again taking up production duties, along with Jones, and guests on the record include Dolly Parton, Levon Helm and Garth Hudson of The Band, jazz drummer Brian Blade, Jesse Harris (Grammy-winning songwriter of “Don't Know Why"), Rob Burger and Tony Scherr.

Norah Jones is slated to kick off a Worldwide tour in April beginning in Europe and hitting the U.S. starting July. Her duet with Willie Nelson, “Wurlitzer Prize," was nominated for a Grammy earlier this week.
