Editor's review
Not to predict record sales Down Under, but this Aussie songstress' debut blends jazz and soul as tastefully as a certain U.S. breakout star: Norah Jones. Or rather, "Cinderella Sings the Blues" is the LP purists hope Jones will make, lighter on pop and heavy with dark, original blues.
