Fans of Norah Jones will get a little more insight into the Grammy-winning singer when she releases her new album, “Not Too Late,” in January: For the first time, she has written or cowritten all the songs.

“I think it reflects more sides of my personality than my first two records did. It has different sides to it, it has a lot more variety to it,” the 27-year-old singer said in an interview.

Jones’ first record, a mix of jazzy, folky tunes, 2002’s “Come Away With Me,” was a runaway success and sold more than 8 million records in the United States, fueled by the smoky tune “Don’t Know Why,” which she didn’t write.

Her sophomore album, “Feels Like Home,” featured more of Jones’ songwriting talents. But “Not Too Late,” due out Jan. 30, is the first time she has had a hand in all the songs.
