5.0 out of 5 stars Forget ! Forget ! Forget Mike Batt was a Womble..., 5 Dec 2003
By S. C. Trump "stevect" (Upminster, Essex) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The reason for the strange heading for this review is to convey the fact that this gem and another wonderful track on this single were written and produced by Mike 'Womble' Batt.

I first heard this song on the Royal Variety Show a week ago and was immediately hooked by the ladys voice and this wonderful song. I'd never heard of Katie Melua before but she deserves the kind of widespread recognition that say Dido enjoys.

The style is mainly acoustic based plaintive vocals. The two other tracks are not on the album making this purchase essential. Mike Batts 'Thank you stars' is on a par with the title track. Where has he been all these years and thank goodness he teamed up with this talented young artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Closest Thing To Crazy, 3 Nov 2003
Katie Melua is knockout - her voice - the lyrics are just amazing. I cannot recommend the song enough. Her voice will make you have goosepimples, and stop-in your-tracks to listen. She is going to be a worldwide star, this young woman has the most wonderful voice. ORDER IT NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Music Has Come Home, 28 Nov 2003
Katie Melua is a breath-taking artist and deserves all the success in the world. This song, like her debut album, is a delight from start to finish. Criticisms of her voice are absurd. She's absolutely a star!

I must have played this thousands of times now - even my kids talk of Katie as if she were a family member. It certainly eased my otherwise explosive 40th crisis! Read more

Most contemporary acts in our charts don't try to move emotionally in any way (except make your wallet feel empty from buying their material). Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful.
It is quite simply a wonderful song.

Do yourself a favour and buy the album (Call Off The Search). More great tracks.
