相关介绍：Katie拥有一种独特的嗓音，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，而她擅长的吉他也有莫大发挥，加上Mike Batt的多首创作，使得《Call Off The Search》原创味道浓厚。其中她翻唱英国蓝调英雄John Mayall的64年经典曲《Crawling Up A Hill》流畅的演绎和歌声的掌握都让人惊艳不已；到了俏皮的《My Aphrodisiac Is You》，Katie又化身成一位柔媚歌姬，把歌词中的复古性感飙到极限，而不管是著名经典《Learnin The Blues》或是Randy Newman的旷世名曲《I Think Its Going to Rain Today》，Katie的版本同样不遑多让。当然，也有如首支单曲《The Closest Thing To Crazy》这般浪漫至性的恋曲，以少女的口吻娓娓道来，加上弦乐的编曲，那种举棋不定的不安自然征服人心。我特别喜欢的是《Blame It On The Moon》，复古的感觉，如果搭配一个落寞的爱情电影画面，会挺棒的；《Tiger In The Night》则有份清新的告白.

Song：Crawling Up a Hill
Artist：Katie Melua

Every morning 'bout half past eight,
My Moma wakes me says, "Don't 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,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

Minute after minute,
Second after second,
Hour after hour goes by,
Working for a rich girl,
Staying just a poor girl,
Never stop to wonder why.

So here I am in London town,
A better scene, I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

Every morning 'bout half past eight,
My Momma wakes me says, "Don't be late",
I 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,
Quit my job without a shadow of a doubt,
To sing the blues that I know about,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

Minute after minute,
Second after second,
Hour after hour goes by,
Working for a rich girl,
Staying just a poor girl,
Never stop to wonder why.

So here I am in London town,
A better scene, I'm gonna be around
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
Life is just a slow train.

So so so here I am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill
