Katie Melua swears nothing about her life has changed much in the past few years.
Then she's reminded that her 2003 debut, "Call Off the Search," was the top album in the UK last year, with 1.5 million copies sold; that one cannot escape her face on ads in London's subway system; and that she's already toured France, Holland, Norway, and Japan, routinely packing the houses.
Melua, who was born in Georgia (the former Soviet republic) and raised in Belfast and London, was an overnight sensation in the UK, but her album has yet to make a significant showing here.

The record industry-funded school had a habit of graduating talented performing artists (Floetry, for example), and Melua became its next success when a 2003 showcase caught the attention of Mike Batt, who'd been looking for a vocalist capable in both jazz and blues styles.
Gigs in Europe followed, and in May '04 Melua made her way to the U.S. for a round of club dates supporting the album's domestic release.

She signed to a very small record label (Dramatico had a three-person staff and Melua was its only artist), and she probably would have languished in obscurity if it wasn't for England's last independent radio DJ.
Batt signed Melua after seeing her perform at the Brit School of Performing Arts in London, and composed many of the songs on her album, including the breakout single.
Melua said she originally tried to get signed to a U.S. label; she and Batt came to New York City and shopped demos to the various record companies.

Katie Melua's Call Off The Search is a pleasant album of pop music, which can be taken as a compliment or a criticism depending on your feelings for the genre.

Piece By Piece--the second album from Georgia-born chanteuse cum naturalised Brit, Katie Melua, and the successor to her multi-million selling Call Off The Search--begins teasingly with the soft-peddled "come hither" jazz flirtations of "Shy Boy" and concludes with the whispering philosophical torch song resignation of "I Do Believe In Love".
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.
Katie Melua’s long awaited second album, Piece By Piece, is released nearly two years after the debut of her multi-platinum selling album, Call Off The Search.
