Katie Melua: Two Bare Feet

For my inaugural posts on Spades' music blog I'm going back to one of my jazz favorites. Belted out by a sweet little Georgian girl raised in Great Britain glorifying the days of the speak easy and prohibition. Nice video to go with just to top it all off.

I was introduced to Madame Melua several years ago by someone I was in a relationship with. The relationship ended but I gained an appreciation for this lady out of it. Melua has an excellent understanding of jazz canon and a certain penchant for re-addressing them. A flare for the dramatic serves well in her videos and the musical constructions on which they're based.

Enjoy,
