Is anyone familiar with and with the sound of Katie Melua??

See her official website:

Official site of Katie Melua

Katie accompanies her own pleasant, bright and lyrical voice on guitar. Her debut album was produced by Mike Batt, but the album doesn't resemble in anyway Vanessa-Mae's 'The Violin Player,' or Maksim's 'The Piano Player.'

I have a copy of her cd somewhere,
Katie Melua is very similar to the gorgeous and talented
New Zealand born Bic Runga.
Same style Vocals and the same style and sounding acuostic
guitar work.
Except listening to the two of them i would say Katie is more
Blues and Bic is more jazz orientated.

Out the two of them Bic any day, I think Aventine would
probably agree being a Kiwi :)

Thanks for the Link Rijko it is nice to find out more about her.

Yeah, I too have Katie's cd. I plan to buy Bic Runga as well. You're right Arioch, Bic is more jazz orientated.

Really nice to hEAR Katie's back in town with cALL of the sEARch. I think next days I trie to buy:

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because I brings me back you...

Lilac wine is sweet and heady,
like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,
like my love
Listen to me...
I cannot see clearly
Isn't that he coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady
where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,
where's my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that he, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready
for my love...

Hey, it's cool that you guys are familiar with Bic Runga over there. She is awesome, I have almost all her cds. I don't have any of Katie Melua though, but since she is comparable to Bic, I will check it out for sure. :D

I think Bic is half Chinese too.

I've not really heard much of her, although I love her voice. I'm a big fan of Norah Jones, anyone else?

Also, am I the only one who doesn't understand what amQhr is saying?
Love ya lots and lots like jelly tots and vodka shots! :D

LoL do not worry you are not the only one here who has
trouble in understanding our AmQhr.

Glenn being Asian regually has a moan at him, for she has
enough trouble with speaking English as it is (poor Girl)

all you need to do is replace the Qh with Ou

ie..
cALL the best to hEAR the most, yQhr Qin amQhr
cALL the best to hEAR the most, yOur Own amOur


AmQhr am i correct with the above translation?
