Katie Melua

[Miranda]

Has anyone heard this sensational new artist and her album "call of the search"?
I have the pleasure of knowing Katie myself and, like her music, she's a very down to earth and lovely girl.
Just wondered what everyones opinion is of her album and music. Has she broken into the American market yet or is she still just a purely British pleasure?

I saw her on Nevermind the Buzzcocks. She's quite a fox.

She is very pretty, always has been. But what do you think of her music?

I've not heard much but some people are dubbing her the next Norah Jones. I hope that isn't the case, I'm sure she's got more to her than that. And yes, she is very cute. Knocked Dido off the top of the album chart this week.

I'm afraid I haven't heard her music. I do get the impression though that she is where she is because, like u said, she's pretty and has that look that appeals to goths/ rebellious young teens (Image being more important than the actual music these days)... I will of course reserve my judgement till I hear the music. Does she write her own songs?

Yep she writes her own songs. Two songs on her album, Faraway Voice and Belfast (penguins and cats) are her own. The others are covers but I think she's got a lot more up her sleeve. I think its her voice that's more inspiring than her looks, she's got a really smoky quality to it. Mx
