"Grammy Nominee...", December 6, 2009
By Silverfox229 "Silverfox" (KC MO) - See all my reviews
This being Bailey Rae's first album, "Put Your Records On" was nominated for Best Song and Best Record Grammy of 2006, as well as the album garnering Bailey Rae's nomination for 2006 Best New Artist. For some reason that I don't quite understand, the single "Like a Star" was also nominated for a Grammy in 2008 - even though it was part of the 2006 album. Both of these songs and the album did well in the charts as well as in other award shows in American and England.
Corinne's voice is like a gentle, warm breeze in the world of jazz/soul/r&b music - very easy to listen to.
It being included for a daily special of $1.99 in Dec 2009 is probably partially to awaken interest in her second album coming in Feb 2010.
I heartily recommend it.

Corinne Bailey Rae
Neo-soul songstress Corinne Bailey Rae was born in Leeds, England, in 1979 to a British mother and West Indian father. Displaying an interest in music from an early age, Rae studied classical violin until she acquired an electric guitar in her early teens. Inspired by such '90s alt-rock icons as L7, Veruca Salt, and others, Rae formed her first band, the all-female indie rock outfit Helen. Despite developing a strong local following, the band ultimately folded and Rae enrolled at Leeds University to study English literature. While at school, a job at a jazz club inspired her more soul-oriented leanings and she began writing songs. Eventually, she scored a record deal with EMI and released her self-titled debut solo album in 2006. A year later both an expanded edition of the album with a bonus disc and the CD/DVD set Live in London & NY appeared. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
