 Utter Brilliance! October 28, 2008

With all that this outstanding artist has achieved it is difficult to believe that she still only 24!
br /
br /This CD contains Katie's best known songs including, "Closest Thing to Crazy", and "Nine Million Bicycles" as well as a selection of the best of her first three albums. However, even if you have the other albums, the CD is worth buying for the three new tracks;
br /
br /"Two Bare Feet" is a catchy jazzy number and "Somewhere in the Same Hotel" is laid back and soothing. However the best of the new tracks for me is. "Toy Collection", written by Katie herself with a slight folky and haunting sound to it which again shows her outstanding songwriting ability which is at least as good if not better than her manager Mike Batt.
br /
br /The cherry on the top however is the 90 minute DVD of Katie's concert in Rotterdam recorded on her current world tour. Here, Katie demonstrates her natural live performing ability. She opens completely on her own with just a guitar and piano on stage for the first two numbers, flawlessly delivered before her top quality band makes it's entrance.
br /
br /Katie's stage presence shines throughout. Her natural charm and warmth is evident in the way she efforflessly chats to the audience between numbers. Rather than merely performing the songs e

A Collection after just three albums, some of you might think it's too soon... But actually, there are some great song missing! And that's not because of bad choices, because all songs here are masterpieces!
br /For those who don't have the albums, it's a great opportunity to discover the magical voice of Katie Melua.
br /For those who already have them, there are three new wonderful songs, a bluesy one with "Somewhere in The Same Hotel", a more catchy with "Two Bare Feet", and an undescribable "Toy Collection". There are also two released songs but not on the albums, "What A Wonderful World", the impossible duet with Eva Cassidy, and "When You Taught Me How To Dance", from the soundtrack of "Miss Potter", which are also worth the purchase of the Collection.
br /
br /Moreover, there is the DVD with the Rotterdam concert, which should end up convincing you, or re-live an unforgettable evening if you went to a concert of the Pictures Tour.
br /
br /To sum up, a must have for everyone!

I can't add much to the other reviews other than say what a great purchase this set is from Katie. A selection of her best tracks, three great new songs, two songs not on her standard albums and the fantastic live Rotterdam DVD where Katies 2008 live set can be relived in all its glory, complete with between songs chat. For those interested, these are the live songs on the DVD :-

br /1. Piece by piece
br /2. I do believe in love
br /3. My aphrodisiac is you
br /4. Crawling up a hill
br /5. Mary Pickford
br /6. Blues in the Night
br /7. If you were a Sailboat
br /8. Ghost Town
br /9. Thank you, Stars
br /10. Perfect Circle
br /11. What I miss about you
br /12. Spiders Web
br /13. If the lights go out
br /14. Scary Films

The Katie Melua Collection" is an overall compelling selection of Katie Melua's best songs so far.
br /Among others there are "What A Wonderful World", a great duet with the deceased singer
br /"Eva Cassidy" and naturally one of the most popular songs "Nine Million Bicycles"
br /The 17 track collection also includes three new songs.
br /The up-tempo track Two Bare Feet", which will be released on the 27th October as single,
br /the melancholic-poetic composition "Toy Collection" (which was written by Katie for the MySpace film `Faintheart') and the blues-song "Somewhere In The Same Hotel".
br /Unfortunately my favourite song "What I Miss About You", a result of a collaboration with Andrea McEwan is only seen on the DVD, which includes a 90 min. live show, filmed in Rotterdam during Katie's 2008 tour. On this tour Katie Melua was supported by Andrea McEwan, whose debut single "Candle In A Chatroom" was also released recently. (Have a look at it! It is recommended for all friends of "jazz-pop / folk"-music).
br /The DVD includes a very interesting video-blog "Behind the Screens", showing the preparation of the tour this year. (by B. M. Powell's "MelvilleB" MichaelWSt)
