CORINNE OH CORINNE

Corinne Bailey Rae..Talk of someone who exudes soul, deep emotion, inspiration, despair and a soothing comfort in her music, talk of Corinne. The first British female singer/songwriter to hit the top 20 billboards. Her self titled album was released in 2006. A number one with the hit singles 'Put Your Records On' and 'Like A Star'. In 2007, she had three Grammy nominations to her credit, 'Song of the year', 'Best new artist' and 'Record of the year'. The 2008 tragedy of the loss of her husband (Jazz musician Jason Rae) and issues in her personal life undoubtedly made her music even stronger.

Corinne collaborated with other artistes like John Legend and John Mayer, similar neo-soul branded styles of music. You can read more about Corinne at her very extensive website.

If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere after a hard day's work or a stressful situation, Corinne's 'Put Your Records On' is my suggestion for you. Corinne's sound is jazzy and sultry, the type that caresses your soul and spirit. The lyrics are carefully chosen, basically telling you everything is going to be ok:

"Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow."

Very encouraging.

Corinne found the courage and strength in mourning to release 'The Sea', her latest album, January, 2010. If you are looking for something uplifting and inspiring, Corinne is the healthy way to go. 5 stars all the way.

If music be the food of Love, you know what to do!
