'Ghost Town' The New Single
With summer knocking at the door and
long sunny days within our reach, Katie Melua releases
the reggae-influenced 'Ghost Town'.
The
fourth single from Katie's European number 1 album
'Pictures', 'Ghost Town' has proved to be an audience
favourite on Katie's latest three month tour which
included a one-off show at London's Royal Albert Hall.
Aged
23 Katie has sold almost 9 million albums and is one
of Britain's most successful and loved artists of
this millennium. No mean feat for a singer on an independent
record label and one who goes about her business in
a quiet and dignified manner avoiding the media hoopla
and industry trappings that can turn many a previously
level head.
Often
vocal about her love of film, and having already appeared
in Edgar Wrights' Grindhouse trailer 'Don't', Katie
has recently been confirmed as the lead artist on
the soundtrack for Faintheart, the world's first feature
film which has been shaped by the MySpace community.
Having
spent the majority of 2008 on tour out of the country,
Katie will return for a series of shows before her
largest UK arena tour to date in October/ November.
'Ghost
Town' released on June 23rd, 2008
