Watch Joanna Newsom Performs Soft As Chalk On Jimmy Fallon Watch: Joanna Newsom Performs Soft As Chalk On Jimmy Fallon

Joanna Newsom has made a mighty comeback with her triple disc album, Have One On Me, which has already been critically acclaimed by numerous music publications such as both the New York and Los Angeles Times. Although she only peaked at 75, her cult following has bought more than 700,000 copies of her album in the first week of her release making it a big win for her mark as an indie artist. In celebration and in support of the album, the singer-songwriter stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to perform her song, “Soft As Chalk.”

It’s her first TV appearance since her American TV debut back in 2005 when she performed on Jimmy Kimmel, and she does not disappoint. It’s hard to believe such a dainty and delicate musician is dating Andy Samberg of SNL and The Lonely Island and one of the biggest goof balls in the entertainment industry.

We’re wondering when she’ll duet with her beau on a Lonely Island song or an SNL digital short. It’s not so far fetched. Norah Jones did it!

Watch Newsom perform “Soft of Chalk” with all the quirks that oddly make her lovable. She’s elegant with her performance down from the red flowers in her hair to her hands on the piano.

What do you think of Joanna Newsom’s performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon?

    … By now you realize she sold 7000 copies, not 700,000?
