Once I had HD video clips of musical performances by Katie Melua, described by one critic as “the Soviet Georgia-born, Belfast-based singer-songwriter and pan-European star who is virtually unknown in the United States.” Unknown in the US maybe, but I’ve been aware of her music for about five years. One early song was 9 Million Bicycles, written by Mike Batt for Katie’s second album. It is simply a sweet song. The music video for the song is one of those that make you wonder, “How’d they do that?!” and it can be found here. (Be sure to select 360p and either expand or full-screen). If you prefer less in the way of special effects, a live performance from AVO SESSION Basel, October 2007, is below. If you like songs that have recognizable melody and lyrics, you’ll probably like this music.
Another Mike Batt song performed by Katie is her debut single The Closest Thing To Crazy. Watch her performance at the Echo Music Awards, February 2005. Again, be sure to select 360p and either expand or full-screen.
