Norah Jones has penciled in her fifth studio album, Little Broken Hearts, for a May 1st release via Blue Note/EMI.
Spanning 12 tracks, the record was produced and co-written by Jones’ Rome compatriot, super-producer Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton.
Much like Rome’s spaghetti western inspiration, the cover art for Little Broken Hearts (above) is an homage to classic movie posters, particularly the Russ Meyer-directed 1965 film Mudhoney.
Jones will premiere her new album with a performance at this year’s South by Southwest, where she will be backed by her new band.
She’ll also play a pair of shows with her country band The Little Willies during the festival.
A smattering of other dates are scheduled for the summer, with a more extensive endeavor to be announced shortly.
