Hey, MARKYAN, it's so kind of you. I am enjoying the lovely music now. Thanks again!

她目前共有两张专辑，第一张是《Call off the search》, 多变化的歌声和情绪起伏刚好和专辑要呈现的老蓝调和Jazz调调的歌曲吻合。

　　她的第二张录音室专辑《Piece By Piece》。首支单曲主打Nine Million Bicycles融合着爵士的流行味道慢版的抒情小调扑面而来。而对于我们来说，最重要的是，她讲述了一个来自北京的故事。一般来说，专辑的前三支单曲都是抓人耳朵的。所以，从Shy boy,Nine Million Bicycles,再到专辑同名歌曲Piece By Piece，我们听到的是基于流行和接近平淡的Katie的声音和演唱。甚至对我来说，Piece By Piece最后的抒情有太多的矫柔造作。当三支流行单曲过后，Katie才开始展现她的才华。于是我们听到了跳跃的Halfway Up The Hindu Kush。低沉的爵士鼓，轻盈的打击乐器。我仿佛还能看见Katie恣意的演唱，呵呵，恣意，突然就用了这个词，就如同突然响起了这样的音乐。

　　My Mama don't tell me……就这样随意的开场，然后是声音随音乐、情绪的游走。这个时候也就不用想的太多。选择闭上眼睛，让耳朵再敏感一些，再敏感一些，以至于能抓住最细微的气息和情感。就让我们享受这一刻，享受Blues In The Night。

Artist： Katie Melua
Album： Piece By Piece
Song： Nine Million Bicycles

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you.

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say

There are six BILLION people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all

INTERLUDE
We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!

Katie Melua凯蒂·玛露19岁，俄罗斯人，成长于俄罗斯及英国。2003年底，首支单曲“The Closest Thing To Crazy”发行便强登英国金榜Top 10。不久，广获好评的首张专辑一举挤下英伦人气天后Dido/蒂朵、击退Norah Jones，荣获6周英国金榜后座，成为英国2004开春迄今最畅销专辑。声线兼备蓝调、民谣、爵士味道的Katie Melua，常被乐评拿来与诺拉·琼丝相提并论。但她那相较甜美清澈的年轻嗓音，让人遥想起已逝的跨界流行爵士美声Eva Cassidy。而在被Mike Batt发掘的那天，Katie所演唱的正好就是受Eva启发而学下的创作曲“Faraway Voice”。此外，她也自承在音乐方面受到Queen、Joni Mitchell、Bob Dylan和印度音乐及爱尔兰民谣等多类乐风的影响。
