Katie Melua-Call Off The Search

Call Off the Search is the enchanting debut album by Katie Melua, released in 2003. Blending jazz, blues, and folk influences, the album showcases Katie’s smoky vocals and mature songwriting far beyond her years at the time of release.

Highlights include the beautiful title track “Call Off the Search,” her breakout hit “The Closest Thing to Crazy,” and a haunting cover of John Mayall’s “Crawling Up a Hill.” Produced by Mike Batt, the album’s subtle orchestration and poetic lyrics earned it critical acclaim and commercial success across Europe.

Katie Melua’s gentle, emotive style is perfect for listeners who enjoy Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, or acoustic storytelling.
