A 36 ans, la reine de la ballade intime et sophistiquée sort son 8e album, simplement baptisé Album n°8. Si le titre est sobre, les moyens mis en œuvre pour sa production le sont moins, Katie Melua ayant bénéficié de l’apport du Georgian Philharmonic Orchestra. Rappelons que la jeune femme est britannique, d’origine géorgienne. Les cordes servent de toile de fond luxueuse à des morceaux souvent autobiographiques, qui évoquent autant la fin d’une liaison amoureuse (A Love Like That, Airtime) qu’un voyage entrepris par le père de Katie Melua dans le Caucase (Leaving the Mountain). Certes l’orchestre est présent sur chacun des titres, mais il ne vient pas écraser ces chansons fragiles. D’autant que certains solistes (sax, piano, guitare…), ou encore une section rythmique funky ou jazzy interviennent parfois afin d’aérer l’ensemble (Voices in the night). C’est au producteur Leo Abrahams à qui l’on doit les arrangements de l’album, lesquels évoquent parfois la finesse d’un Nick Drake ou l’émotion contemplative d’un John Barry. On retiendra également un hommage à la chorégraphe Pina Bausch, co-écrit avec Zurab, le frère de Katie (Maybe I Dreamt It), une tendre évocation de l’enfance de la chanteuse (Heading Home), ou encore la très séduisante English Manner. Celle-ci dévoile un aspect un peu moins lisse de l’art de Katie Melua puisqu’il s’agit du portrait d’un triangle amoureux. © Nicolas Magenham/Qobuz
