Album Description It becomes self-evident the moment you hear her sing the very first note on the first track 'Like A Star', that it showcases 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 up effortlessly, full of caress, subtlety and the very purest quality. It is wonderful, this voice, and surely a 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. 11 tracks. EMI. 2006.
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.
