Orbit's production doesn't find as forceful a match as it did with Madonna on Ray of Light, and Melua's style still seems too thin to support true greatness, but The House is a promising start, a sporadically grand album that finds another talented artist rescued from mediocre pop oblivion.
-
The songs and arrangements on The House recast Ms. Melua as an arty girl gone wild.
-
A mixed bag of atmospherics that somewhat justifies Melua's chart-topping popularity back home.
