Taken from the 2003 album 'Call Off The Search'. The title track is backed with 'Downstairs To The Sun' & 'Thank You, Stars'. Melua's laid-back bluesy pop has been compared to Norah Jones & Eva Cassidy. Dramatic.

"If you like The Closest Thing to Crazy, (...) this one of the best cd's of the year in my opinion. If you like Norah Jones, you will for sure like this one and I reckon you will never take it off your CD player!"
Close but no cigar!

"Listners will be more impressed to know that Katie is not Irish American... but in fact Georgian born ( as in former soviet republic) and Irish raised... Can't go wrong with a voice born from this beautiful country known for the gift of song and paired up with a Irish mentor of style combination.... truly gifted!"
Very good!

"Amazing CD, considering she wrote most of her own material and she's so young!
Definitely on my heavy rotation."

"Not sure why some of the reviewers here think that Katie is Irish-American as she was born in Georgia (Russia) and lived for 5 years in Belfast (Northern Ireland) before the family moved to London (England).
