Maybe Tanita, Sade and Katie could set up a group and call themselves 
The Theremins?

Interesting piece.

"Adventurous young guns from the Arctic Monkeys to the Klaxons may grab 
the headlines and the awards, but there clearly remains a vast audience 
for the time-honoured virtues of melody, lyricism and performance."

How very true. Let's hope she doesn't change direction too much - although 
from what she's saying in the interview, that may well be the plan.

Maybe it's something even more mellower for Miss Melua. Either than or
something totally different.
Death metal perhaps.

Or, seeing as she is teamed up with Mike Batt, maybe they're planning on 
unleashing a return of the Wombles on the unsuspecting nation  :-)

As long as they only play her songs on Radio 2 (which I assume they
do) real music lovers don't need to worry yet. I was even too bored to
read the whole article.

I think that should be "Cholet", Jeff - unless you're making a joke that is 
way too clever for me  :-)

If she changes too much, she'll do a 'Joss Stone' - alienating her core 
fanbase.

If we're trying to get all bland female 'artists' into the same plane,
is there room for Tracy Chapman?

underwater interpretation of one of her hits" - what? hold her under the 
water as she sings??

Grin.

However, she didn't *specifically* refer to her songs, just 'things 
being a pile of crap'.

The article is right about the older audience becoming more important 
because they actually *buy* albums, though.

Let the kids buy what *they* like. Let us buy what *we* like. I don't see

Although to be fair Gerard Ratner's last LP was slightly more musically 
aclaimed than hers.
