Katie Melua 拥有一种独特的嗓音，首支单曲〈The Closest Thing To Crazy〉浪漫至性，以少女的口吻娓娓道来，加上弦乐的编曲，那种举棋不定的不安自然征服人心。
歌词：
How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
