The Melua the merrier.
Link - 5 stars.
A diabolically interesting first attempt at a sophomore record - my interest was piqued at hearing her on the wireless and has remained piqued for the previous 3 years hence. Simply what can be said of her voice? Seriously, what can you say? Well, I can say that I conclude that she has one and she most certainly is not afraid to use it, communicating the human condition with an almost Brechtian alacrity (as described by my world-weary osteopath, Dr Peter Wiggins).
Although the producer and writer of these songs is more famous for writing the theme tune to Richard 'rabbit-exterminator-in-real-life' Adams' 'Watership Down' ("A song about a rabbit, written by a Batt" - D. Winton), this is most certainly not a terrifying odyssey of some mammals moving to greener pastures. It's a bit more pleasant than that.
