Our Take

Katie Melua, everyone's favourite whimsical songstress, invites us on a journey through her musical career with "Ultimate Collection." This compilation album is like a warm hug from an old friend, wrapping you in a blanket of nostalgia and charm.

Melua's velvety voice seduces the listener from the get-go, with hits like "Nine Million Bicycles" and "Closest Thing to Crazy" shining like diamonds in a sea of musical mediocrity. Her blend of folk, jazz, and pop is as comforting as a cup of tea on a rainy day, transporting us to a world where the sun always shines and the troubles of life simply melt away.

But don't be fooled by the sweetness of Melua's sound - there is a darkness lurking beneath the surface, hinted at in tracks like "The Flood" and "I Cried for You." These songs add depth and complexity to the album, reminding us that life is not all rainbows and butterflies.

Overall, "Ultimate Collection" is a delightful romp through Melua's career, showcasing her talent and versatility as a musician. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, this album is sure to captivate and enchant you from start to finish. So sit back, relax, and let Katie Melua serenade you into musical bliss.
