As a matter of interest, what do you guys find so terrible about Come Away with Me? Its lyrical content? The vocals? It being a slow song? Do you not like the original song either?

 

I find it to be a very relaxing listen and Emma's vocals sound lovely... I sense that she really connects with the romantic nature of the song as she's singing it. I think her vocals complement Josh's very nicely, actually a much better fit than with Robbie or Will.

I agree with you Jay. For me, Robbie and Will are great names. But Josh's soulful vocal is a better match with Emma's.

 

I think 'I Only Wanna Be With You' is an incredible song though. It just never gets old.

For me Come away with me is just beyond boring. It isn't even boring but beautiful like All I need to know, it just plods along until it finishes or you fall asleep.

I think Come Away With Me is too close to the original to feel interesting to me. It's such a Norah Jones song and Emma doesnt provide much difference to it. Josh sounds devine in it, and thier voices kind of compliment each other, but the result is a bit... kind of just there. For me...

 

Funnily that I think Emma's 4 collaborators in this album dont really work that well with her. Jade and Josh are the most complimentary to her voice, though. But even Jade and her dont blend that well, plus I think the tone in the chorus for All I Need To Get By doesnt sound so good on her...

 

Maybe I am too married to the original. I just think she has proven before that she can do much better. Crickets was a brilliant cover, and so was Life in Mono, I Wish I Could Have Loved You More, etc....

Lately, I've been only listening to Too Many Teardrops and I Only Want to Be With You.

 

And I was thinking about her timing for duets: it was too soon to feature Luis Fonsi and too late to feature Will Young.
