In Katie Melua I'm actually encountered only randomly. The album cover of their second album "Piece By Piece" smiled at me in the business so that I reingehört short. The music I liked, but it took one more auditory canal on the Internet in order fully to convince me that I here had found a real gem. The comparisons with singers like Norah Jones or Joss Stone I can not understand, because Katie completely different approach goes to jazz and blues. Unlike Jones she used often at Broadway and folk music. Country keeps rarely in their small art collection. Even Katie knows how to deal skillfully with one voice and a very special mood conjured up. This is pure feeling. Jones on the other hand more apt slightly monotonous sounding. Katie's music is also varied and it also dares to sing times faster songs. Katie presents us on her debut short stories in a quiet dreamy manner. I especially like because the single "The Closest Thing To Crazy" and "Blame it on the moon". In the play "Belfast (Penguins and Cats)" it also deals with the conflict between Catholics and Protestants apart. This song is one of the finest on an album with no filler. Katie shines on "Call Off The Search" with beautiful songwriting, a crystal clear soulful voice and skillful musical implementation. This plate will sweeten every rainy day, after work or Kaffeeklatsch. It is suitable for Nebenherhören as well as for listening. Predicate valuable! Playing tips: "The Closest Thing To Crazy", "Learnin 'the Blues", "Belfast (Peguins and cats)"
