Last January, the singer released her album Not Too Late and spent much of the year on tour to promote the disc. Apart from that, she also made her acting debut in director Wong Kar Wai's flick My Blueberry Nights.

Her heavy work schedule has left her in need of a break. Jones said: "I'm taking some time off. I worked a lot last year, just between the movie and my new record and the tour."
