Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Piece By Piece--the second album from Georgia-born chanteuse cum naturalised
Brit, Katie Melua, and the successor to her multi-million selling Call Off The
Search--begins teasingly with the soft-peddled "come hither" jazz flirtations of
"Shy Boy" and concludes with the whispering philosophical torch song resignation
of "I Do Believe In Love". The two songs represent opposite ends of the emotional
spectrum--sultry and kittenish on the one hand, solitary and ruminative on the
other--but they also offer clues that the cutesy, crazy, easy listening Melua of
Mike Batt's mentorship may be graduallymoreà acceding to the full bloom of
self-determined musical adulthood. Melua's songs are often the more fretful and
organic, the ghostly title track and the lovely "I Cried for You" are especially
recommended, while the bluesier numbers (particularly the cover of the classic
"Blues In The Night") seem shoehorned-in gratuitously to match an anticipated
demographic. Batt's contributions are melodic, memorably buoyant and childlike,
the Chinese-flavoured "Nine Million Bicycles" and the naggingly catchy "Halfway
Up The Hindu Kush" are both charming despite their naive, pseudo-ethnicity and
currently offer, particularly when compared to something as ponderously wooly as
"Spider's Web", a necessary fun counterbalance to Melua's burgeoning compositional
skills. At this stage, Piece By Piece fits together nicely like a little jigsaw
puzzle. And even if it didn't, Melua would still sound simply ambrosial singing
from a washing machine repair manual.
