At Every Turn - Not Katies

Advantages: diverse miusic. excellent voice, Crawling up the hill
Disadvantages: Faraway voice is a bit mor for me

.... The reason I love this song is because I identify with the subject matte as it deals with. It deals with the mundane and the ordinary things we have to do to get by whilst we are reaching for our goals and ambitions. The song is about a girl working in an office in London whilst dreaming of becoming a blues singer. This is my exact situation but I am opening post in Manchester whilst I am dreaming of a career in museum work Every morning (a)bout half past eight, My Mummer wakes me says, "Don¹t be late", Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate, My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill. So I stop one day to figure it out, I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt, To sing the blues that I know about, 3 Closing Thing to crazy This was the Katie’s debut single and the song that brought her to the nation’s conscienceless...

Advantages: Go out on your bicycle when you purchase it, be green
Disadvantages: Is this soul? Is this unlike anything else? Isn't this awful?

...A farcry from the stereotype I may have had thrust upon myself through my previous album reviews, it wouldn't be entirely unfair to say a verdict from myself on a Katie Melua album isn't going to be as generous as I have to a cast of R&B artists. On the other hand, Katie Melua does not fall under my scrutiny in the same way artists who disappoint with their follow-up albums do, and if you think my discussion of an artist like Melua is going to be anything similar to that of the diva that is Mariah Carey -- you would be wrong. When I hear the name Katie Melua I do automatically come to a conclusion in my head that is usually correct, but she is a name that makes me turn to someone and ask, "She is the soul singer that sang 'Closest Thing to Crazy', right?" ..Or perhaps I say that in my own little world of terminology.

The words are a bit dull, I suppose to go with the tune. Blue Shoes This is another one that grew on me the more I played it. Its moody and foot tapping all at the same time.
