Norah Jones and Josh Homme's rendition of 'Somethin' Stupid' on Jimmy Kimmel Live! was a captivating performance, blending the smooth vocals of Jones with the subtle, laid-back presence of Homme. This cover of the Frank and Nancy Sinatra classic, written by C. Carson Parks, brought a fresh energy to the iconic track, which was originally popularized in 1967. The performance was enhanced by the addition of two violinists and a cellist, creating a rich and dynamic soundscape. This collaboration between Jones and Homme, who also performed on the Norah Jones is Playing Along podcast, showcases their versatility and willingness to experiment with different genres. It's a testament to their artistic growth and the ability to bring new life to classic songs. The performance also serves as a prelude to their upcoming tour with Foo Fighters, where Queens of the Stone Age will be a prominent feature. This tour, set to kick off in Toronto on August 4th and conclude in Las Vegas on September 26th, will undoubtedly be a highlight for fans of both bands. The inclusion of Queens of the Stone Age at every show, except for the September 12th Fargodome show, promises an exciting and diverse musical experience. This collaboration between Jones and Homme, and their association with Foo Fighters, is a significant development in the music industry, demonstrating the power of artistic experimentation and the enduring appeal of classic songs when reimagined by contemporary artists. It's a testament to the evolution of music and the ability of artists to transcend genres and create something new and exciting. The performance and the tour are a must-see for anyone who appreciates innovative and diverse musical experiences.
