滬江英樂?今年年僅22歲的女歌手凱蒂.梅盧阿(Katie Melua)出生于前蘇聯(lián)的一個小國Georgia(格魯吉亞)。成長于莫斯科、黑海、北愛爾蘭及倫敦。2003年底,Katie Melua以新星的姿態(tài)涌出歌壇,首支單曲"The Closest Thing To Crazy"強登英國金榜Top 10。聲線兼?zhèn)渌{(lán)調(diào)、民謠、爵士味道的Katie Melua,常被樂評拿來與諾拉.瓊絲相提并論。Katie Melua算不上是爵士歌者,只能說她融合了很多曲風(fēng)點.也許就是因此更能被大眾所接受. 連她自己也說我的偶像不是爵士歌手,而是民謠歌手Eva Cassidy,但她那相較甜美清澈的年輕嗓音,讓人遙想起已逝的跨界流行爵士美聲Eva Cassidy

歌曲:Nine Million Bicycles

演唱:Katie Melua

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That’s a fact
It’s a thing we can’t deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That’s a guess
No-one can ever say it’s true
But I know that I will always be with you

I’m warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don’t call me a liar
Just believe everything that I say

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
And it makes me feel quite small
But you’re the one I love the most of all

We’re high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I’ll never tire
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That’s a fact
It’s a thing we can’t deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die
