.NorahJones reflects on the night she racked up at the Grammys: 'To have Aretha Franklin in the first row, bopping along when we’re singing 'Don’t Know Why,' I mean, I remember that so vividly. It was just a wild night.'
. The then-23-year-old newcomer swept the night’s big four categories , thanks to her breakout single “Don’t Know Why” and her ubiquitous debut album,Looking back on it 20 years later, Jones admits, “It feels like another life.” And yet, that was only the beginning of her ongoing relationship with the Grammy Awards—this year, she nabbed her 19th nomination for, up for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
And then, when it came down to it, it was just the craziest night. I was starving the whole time. That’s all I remember, I was starving. And then by the end, I was embarrassed that I kept going up there, and I felt like people were annoyed with me. Those are the two things I remember the most, being starving and being embarrassed by the end.
Not really. I don’t think my label or management and I talked about stuff in that way at that time. I think we were already so ahead of where we thought we’d be; the album was already becoming so much bigger than we imagined. I think that whole year, there wasn’t a lot of scheming or looking ahead. We were doing a radio tour, I remember, that December, where we’d be on a plane at six in the morning every day, doing a radio show by nine, a lot of early mornings. I was exhausted.
It felt weird. I definitely thought Bruce Springsteen was gonna win everything. I just felt like an imposter, and I think that’s a pretty normal feeling. I think a lot of artists feel that way, even successful ones. I definitely had a lot of that.Do you remember anyone else who you met or talked with that night? Any of those nominees?
I even feel that way about someone like Miley Cyrus, or Taylor Swift, who came out when they were very young and have come to just grow as an artist. I think that’s really fascinating and fun to watch. I love seeing people come into themselves and change and do different things and go in different directions than you think they’re gonna go. And you just hope that the world doesn’t beat the creativity out of these people, because that does happen too. But I’m just excited to see where people go.
