Music reviews of Piece by Piece
Music Review: Pastiche by pastiche
Rating: 1 Stars
I saw that she was compared to Norah Jones and hoped that she would be better than that over-rated singer. Unfortunately, she is worse. The songs lyrics are trite and pretentious. The backing music is so bland and dispirited it hurts. I had to turn the cd off after about track 8. It won't get another listen.
Description of Piece by Piece
Piece By Piece, the 2nd album by Katie Melua, comes nearly 2 years after the release of her multi-platinum selling debut album Call Off The Search, and contains a larger percentage of self-penned songs than the previous album which demonstrates significant developments of Katie as a singer and writer. Features 12 total tracks including the first single 'Nine Million Bicycles'. ''Although people talk about the 'difficult second album', we have enjoyed the pressure and the pleasure of trying to get this album right for ourselves initially, rather than specifically worrying about what the audience will think'' said Katie. Dramatico. 2005.Piece by Piece--the second album from Georgia-born-chanteuse-cum-naturalised-Brit Katie Melua, and the successor to her multimillion-selling Call Off the Search--begins teasingly with the soft-pedaled "come hither" jazz flirtations of "Shy Boy" and concludes with the whispering philosophical torch-song resignation of "I Do Believe in Love." The two songs represent opposite ends of the emotional spectrum--sultry and kittenish on the one hand, solitary and ruminative on the other--but they also offer clues that the cutesy, crazy, easy listening Melua of Mike Batt's mentorship may be gradually acceding to the full bloom of self-determined musical adulthood. Melua's songs are often the more fretful and organic--the ghostly title track and the lovely "I Cried for You" are especially recommended, while the bluesier numbers (particularly the cover of the classic "Blues in the Night") seem shoehorned in gratuitously to match an anticipated demographic. Batt's contributions are melodic, memorably buoyant, and childlike. The Chinese-flavored "Nine Million Bicycles" and the naggingly catchy "Halfway up the Hindu Kush" are both charming despite their na?ve pseudo-ethnicity and currently offer, particularly when compared to something as ponderously wooly as "Spider's Web," a necessary fun counterbalance to Melua's burgeoning compositional skills. At this stage, Piece by Piece fits together nicely like a little jigsaw puzzle. And even if it didn't, Melua would still sound simply ambrosial singing from a washing machine repair manual. --Kevin Maidment
