When soul music is at its finest, a great vocalist can take you along on a journey into their sadness, loneliness, joy, and passion. When mixing that voice with horns, harmonies, and a bluesy Hammond organ, that same music can seamlessly travel across decades. Many new artists claim to accomplish that feat, but few are sincerely ageless and timeless: Corinne Bailey Rae has those qualities in spades. Rae--a newcomer out of Leeds, UK, with a gospel choir history--has created a self-titled CD that occasionally evokes the feeling of a '70s Bill Withers classic, while bringing inflections of Zero 7 and Alicia Keys to her grooves as well. Straight from track one, "Like a Star" displays a restrained soulfulness that shows her strengths through a whisper soft melody. Other standout cuts include the breakup-ache of "Till It Happens To You" and "Choux Pastry Heart," which discloses her jazz-affected timing and the level of powerful songwriting that she is capable of at her very best. In a day and age where a good voice alone can provide you with a golden ticket, it is refreshing to see that Rae has not only written or cowritten every song on her debut, she also contributes guitar, bass, keys, and percussion to the tracks. Her songs have some room to mature, but as a new recording artist in her mid-20s, so does she. Soul lovers, pass the word: this is one impressive debut. --Denise Sheppard

Album Description
This is the eponymously-titled debut album from British blues-soul sensation, Corinne Bailey-Rae. Inspired by artists such as Billie Holiday and Jill Scott, this is a recording that displays a patchwork of influences, all held together wonderfully by Rae's unique vocal stylings. Includes the singles 'Like A Star' and 'Put Your Records On'.
Album Details
Rae was Voted by BBC Subscribers as the One Artist to Watch in 2006. From the First Notes Sung on her `like a Star' EP, Rae Presented a Slice of Sublime Billie Holiday Blues Delivered with a Voice that Pins You (In the Softest but Most Persuasive of Ways) to the Wall; A Voice that Floats Effortlessly, Full of Caress, Subtlety and the Very Purest Quality. It is a Wonderful Discovery to Treasure, but it Belongs to a Young Woman Not from Somewhere Musically Exotic - Say, Mississippi Or Even Manhattan - but Just East of the M1: Leeds. Her Name is Corinne Bailey Rae, and She was Born to Do This.

 good January 7, 2009
Took a little while to get it but i ordered it right before Christmas. Case was cracked but that probably was not the companies fault that I ordered from.
 I gave this as a gift. January 6, 2009
I haven't heard this but my sister-in-law really likes the lady so I got it as a gift for her.
 Best for me January 6, 2009
These bluesy, jazzy songs attracted me in the movie "Venus". Very soulful. The CD was a favorite of the director's daughter. He originally chose one of Corinne's song but ended up using her music for most of the film. I ordered the CD from Amazon and I play it all the time - a first for years!
music December 20, 2008

Unpretentious Talent! December 5, 2008
