Music Mondays: Katie Melua
Katie Melua is no stranger in the music scene, and her mix of pop with jazz and blues appeal to a large mass. Still, she may have passed you by, just the way I had not taken note of her until recently. Missing out on her would be a shame since her music provides for some great easy-listening, head-bobbing enjoyment. And I'll be honest: That's pretty much where it ends as well. You see, though her voice is great, it's not particularly memorable nor is her music. It seems she likes to dabble in different musical genres, and though she is great in all, she excels in none. In other words: It's perfect at-work music, that you can stream through your headphones to lighten your day without it interfering your so-called productivity. Hit the break for a live version of "Spider's Web" performed in Stuttgart.

I remember back at university I had been playing her album up and down. I think It was just after she had become popular. One of my favourite tracks was "Crawling Up A Hill". Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5vsjU3h34k
And I totally agree. Her music is not very special, but still I got attracted by her for quite a while.
Yes, I love "Crawling Up A Hill", which is part of her compilation album that I recently bought ("The Katie Melua Collection"). It's nice as it contains a DVD with a live concert in Rotterdam.
