The central theme of Call Off the Search revolves around love and self-discovery, expressed through a collection of heartfelt and introspective songs, including lead single "The Closest Thing to Crazy," which immediately captured audiences worldwide with its emotive delivery and captivating melody.
Critics and listeners alike praised the album for its mature and soulful sound, especially considering Katie Melua was just 19 years old at the time of its release. Call Off the Search resonated with a broad audience, earning commercial success and critical acclaim, becoming one of the best-selling albums of 2003.
This 20th anniversary reissue was remastered at Metropolis Studios, London, and includes B-sides plus seven previously unreleased and pristine demos recorded by Katie and Mike Batt in 2002. The liner notes, written by Pete Paphides, features contributions from a new interview with Katie.
