沪江英乐 今年年仅22岁的女歌手凯蒂.梅卢阿(Katie Melua)出生于前苏联的一个小国Georgia(格鲁吉亚)。成长于莫斯科、黑海、北爱尔兰及伦敦。2003年底,Katie Melua以新星的姿态涌出歌坛,首支单曲"The Closest Thing To Crazy"强登英国金榜Top 10。声线兼备蓝调、民谣、爵士味道的Katie Melua,常被乐评拿来与诺拉.琼丝相提并论。Katie Melua算不上是爵士歌者,只能说她融合了很多曲风点.也许就是因此更能被大众所接受. 连她自己也说我的偶像不是爵士歌手,而是民谣歌手Eva Cassidy,但她那相较甜美清澈的年轻嗓音,让人遥想起已逝的跨界流行爵士美声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
