Melua: 'I sometimes think I'm an alien'

Katie Melua has revealed that she has questioned her existence and occasionally wonders whether she is an alien.

The A Happy Place singer confessed that she likes to pose metaphysical questions about life to herself and has a feeling that she may have once come from beyond the stars.

"I don't even know if I'm human sometimes," she told Music News. "I know that sounds mental, but I do believe we are all a bit like aliens."

As well as her rather unorthodox views, Melua hopes that people will also be accepting and understanding of her move into a more electronic-based sound.

She said of her new material: "Maybe what I'm now talking about is a bit strange, but there's still simplicity in it. I don't think this will baffle anyone."
