Quite a discovery. We could say what he states in one of his lyrics: “ Now that I have found you I will cancel the search ” Since in he will release his first album “ Call Off The Search ” with its first single “ The Closest Thing To Crazy ” His fame has not stopped growing.
Katie has called us to attention about the absurdity of racism in “Spider's web” because “the line between wrong and right is the width of a thread of a spider's web. The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your mind.

Katie Melua - What a wonderful world live at radio m
She hypnotizes with her suggestive and clean voice. His adaptation of “I put a spell on you” a work by Jay Hawkins covered by numerous groups and soloists from Nina Simone to Credence Clearwater Revival through Annie Lennox or The Animals is certainly a spell through a melodious soft voice and powerful that drags the sounds and makes us navigate musical seas full of waves of rhythm.
His music has made his dreams fly whether singing his own compositions “Belfast” or “Piece by piece” or performing great hits by people like Black “Wondeful life” Sting “Fields of gold” or Cohen “In my secret life” leaving his peculiar mark on all of them his way of narrating with that personal intonation that allows him to play styles such as folk soul or jazz.
Katie can be like a lady on the road or a woman up the street who takes us to Wonderland making us feel that with her music we will never be alone. This is how he sings it to us in “I will be there” the work of his discoverer the British composer Mike Batt who also offered him that ballad to friendship that he premiered in “The walls of the world” in which he sings who will write his love on the walls of the world so that the sun does not fade the words he says.
Who knows maybe if the planet deserved it it would make us have a perfect world. She dancing in the deep oceans writhing in the water is like a dream; She is soft and alone or lost and lonely she is like the sky from The Cure 's “Just like heaven” to which she puts her particular accent.
