Katie Melua has released a new single, Quiet Moves.
It marks the third preview of the singers-songwriter's ninth studio LP, 'Love & Money', which is scheduled to arrive on March 24 via BMG.
Following Those Sweet Days and Golden Record, the sunny track is guided by Melua's charismatic and soothing vocals that recall the feeling of watching her partner dance for the first time. She explained:
"The idea was to create a feeling of effortlessness and ease when the listener plays this album. But how do you do that when my usual method of working can sometimes feel like taking blood out of a stone, where everything else is sacrificed. As we all know, process influences the final sensibility of the work, so if I was to embark on making a Blue-Sky record, a happy record implied that I had to lighten my approach. Not just to record making but to life in general.
"Is it possible to make a great record without sacrificing everything else for that entire period? I had to try, cause working at a relationship was something I needed to do. The strength of feeling made it easy though. How my partner is, both the serious him and the relaxed him, and the kind of atmosphere that’s around him. Just being in each other’s zones feels good."
Melua will support the record with a UK and European tour this spring, which includes a London show at the Royal Albert Hall on May 16. Tickets are on sale now.
