Katie Melua — “Just Like Heaven” (from Piece By Piece) —
Sherry Ann will probably kill me for not picking the original version of this pop classic — she’s on this Cure kick lately that I can’t quite claim to fully comprehend, and this was the single that broke them in the States — but I’ll tell you flat out, Melua’s strange, sweetly melodic reinvention of same just knocks me flat every time I hear it. A mellow marvel.
