Call Off the Search

Description

Number 1 in England for several months, Katie Melua is undoubtedly the absolute revelation of 2004. Her title of the English Norah Jones is more than justified, as her soft, tender, and jazzy music is breathtakingly beautiful, and her voice sublime! A young 19-year-old Georgian who emigrated to Belfast, Katie Melua delivers a stunning jazz-folk debut album that indeed evokes Norah Jones, but with more verve and bite, and a noticeably sexier voice. The choice of covers ("Crawling Up A Hill" by John Mayall, "I Think It's Going To Rain Today," an imperishable classic by Randy Newman reimagined here in a Dusty Springfield style, "Lilac Wine" by Jeff Buckley) speaks volumes about the singer's good taste, while the band, primarily acoustic (and including beautiful string arrangements), works wonders... Beware, a masterpiece!
