Love & Money is Katie Melua’s 9th studio album; a stunning and personal 10 track snapshot of Katie as both an artist and human. Producer Leo Abrahams assembled an exceptional group of musicians with an astounding track record to complete the sound of the record. The album was recorded at Peter Gabriel’s iconic Real World Studios, before Katie and Abrahams took the tracks back to his own studio in Leyton, built over a WW2 bomb shelter. The album sees Katie reflecting on her place in the world; the bonuses and challenges of being a woman in the music industry and the delicate balance of career and family life, all brought to life in a lush moment of personal acceptance and catharsis. Katie will be facing some of these challenges on her UK & EU tour this April through May, which she is set to complete as a new mother following the birth of her first child. She plays 15 dates across the EU and 14 dates across the UK, including a landmark show at The Royal Albert Hall, London on 16th May. Originally from Tbilisi, Georgia, Katie Melua has travelled far in every sense. Following the hugely successful release of modern standards such as ‘The Closest Thing To Crazy’ and ‘Nine Million Bicycles’, she has become one of Britain’s highest selling recording artists, amassing over 11 million sales and 56 platinum certifications across a 20 year career with all 8 studio albums to date charting in the top 10 in the UK albums chart.
