Call Off the Search was released in the U.K. in November 2003 to deserved acclaim, alongside countless declarations that this 19-year-old British music school-educated, Russian-born singer is "the next Norah." There are similarities--Melua does work within a jazz/blues idiom, is talented beyond her years, and concentrates more on classics than her own material (ten are covers and two originals). But she's far more of a classic showbiz type singer than the sultry and sophisticated-sounding Jones. On the single "The Closest Thing to Crazy," for instance, Melua's phrasing is pure show tune. But it works for her, as it did for Lena and Liza before. The only weak link resides in a few straightahead blues songs, notably the 12-bar stomp "My Aphrodisiac Is You." Melua has the talent, she just lacks the soul to put oomph into a song that namechecks the Kama Sutra (this is as it should be, of course, as she's a teenager, but the choice of material is suspect nonetheless). Melua is a great torch singer who deserves the spotlight; odds are you'll eagerly await her next album before you're even done listening to this one all the way through. --Mike McGonigal

The service was great. The album contents are divine. My only frustrations is that this is the second album , from the same supplier, where the jewel case was cracked/broken on one corner and so I could not enthusiastically share that with someone I wanted to give it to.
Not bad for an ad October 23, 2008

Saw this album advertised on TV (PBS?); liked it and bought it. Very enjoyable.

Her vocals are incredible! She has a magical voice that casts a spell on you and doesn't let go. I initially heard her on the radio at a cafe in Edinburgh. A couple months later, I saw a review in a Chicago paper. Bought the CD and came home. I spent weeks listening to her and buying up the rest of her songs. She has a very impressive range, genuine spirit that shines through in her songs. Truly someone I would pay to see over and over!
A great beginning for a talented artist! June 25, 2008

Katie Melua possesses singing talent, for sure. But there's more here. Her melancholy, far-off voice transforms these songs into a wonderful tapestry of emotional love, loss and longing. Bravo!

I have not yet received the product. On your e-mail confirmation you typed next to the city of destination "Carimate" Como, which is the province but also a city.
