Katie Melua - I Cried For You / Just Like Heaven (Dramatico Entertainment)

MELUA continues apace with her Disney-lite shtick on I Cried For You: a minimal ballad and an unusual choice for a single.

The AA side, a cover of The Cure's Just Like Heaven, offers more. Fingerpicked guitar adds colour to a slower, gentler version of the energetic original.

Quite why this curious single exists at all is open to question: a last-gasp attempt to be Christmas number 1, perhaps?

Released December 5, 2005.
