Release Notes:
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.
2nd contains b-sides and rarities.
