Katie Melua currently has one song in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.
About the song: The closest thing to crazy is a track from her 2003 debut album Call off the search, which quickly became a triple million seller. It was the first single drawn from the album and reached the UK top 10. Delivered in her trademark husky jazzy pop voice, this mesmerizing song is simply beautiful, and it is hard to believe that it is written by her producer Mike Batt, and not a jazz evergreen - which it will certainly turn into in years to come. Run time 4:12.
