毫无疑问，出生于格鲁吉亚的女歌手凯蒂·梅卢阿凭借2010年的《The House》惊艳了所有人，她与威廉·奥比特（William Orbit）结缘，将她熟悉的咖啡桌爵士乐流行品牌与精致的电子音乐融合在一起。也许是担心它没能像前三张唱片那样登上排行榜榜首，这位27岁的歌手回归导师迈克·巴特（Mike Batt），为其后续作品《秘密交响曲》（Secret Symphony）回归风格，这位前Wombles词曲作者为她早期的惊人成功负责。这是一次令人失望和沮丧的安全撤退。Melua独特的天鹅绒般的嗓音总是比围绕在他们周围的悠闲的水平编曲更吸引人，但她最后的努力是一个令人鼓舞的迹象，表明她可以把通常的晚宴背景音乐牢牢地抛在脑后。虽然巴特在这方面的贡献——比如《我得不到的一点》中昏昏欲睡的休息室流行音乐，《世界之墙》中钢铁般的乡村民谣，以及令人向往的、充满弦乐的主打歌——都是典型的优雅、端庄和低调，但它们过于礼貌，最终也很温和，让伊娃·卡西迪听起来像一个死亡金属表演。如果还需要更多的证据来证明巴特似乎在限制她的才华，那么梅卢阿对《忘记我所有的烦恼》这首自制的室内乐以及包括在内的四个封面版本更为着迷，从罗恩·塞克斯史密斯（Ron Sexsmith）的《金山银山》（Gold in Them Hills，但最终，这与一位似乎正在克服明显缺乏优势的艺术家相比，是一个明显的倒退。
