Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Jazz-Folk Excellence Comment: Katie has a honey-sweet voice that blends the stylings of Jazz and pop music interwoven with folk rhythms. Clever romantic verses are mixed with fetching tunes to make this a lovely collection of music. Customer Rating: Summary: Mellow Comment: Katie, the best, nice and mellow and very relaxing. Unusual and true to her own style. A very good album. Customer Rating: Summary: Not her best Comment: While I am a Katie fan, this is not her best album, "Piece by Piece" and "Call Off the Search", were both better. The material in "Pictures" is much weaker, but she still has that great voice. I look forward to her next album. Customer Rating: Summary: Great album - what's with the price? Comment: This is a great album, a bit different than the previous 2 albums but not a lot. But I'm puzzled by the insane price this is showing - over $26 as I write this? I downloaded it (elsewhere) for $7.99. Customer Rating: Summary: Katie continues to grow Comment: As I huddle inside by my fire on a blustery, chilly day, listening to a truly unique talent, I can only imagine how much more Katie Melua has to offer in coming years. A nightingale's voice, a composer's delight, a musican with taste and subtley, and a classic, breathtaking face with expressive eyes that carry the weight. The complete package that delivers the music.
