truBeau: Corrine Bailey Rae

This picture is too much. She's definitely one of a kind, just like her voice. You can fall in love with a person's voice and music, but her look alone could sway me to her direction. I still can't get over her lips. Her husband was a very lucky man-- God rest his soul. This type of beau deserves nothing less than the highest appreciation. I think I'm going to lay back on this nasty snow day, and enjoy the warmth of her The Love EP

Top 10 of 2010 [ Soul Edition]: #2 Corinne Bailey Rae " The Sea "

In my mind, I have long walks through the park holding hands with Ms. Bailey Rae as she whispers "Like a Star" in ear.  But that'll never happens, so The Sea in my headphones the best I can do, and its all I really need.  This album is the follow up to her Self-Title LP which was release while her husband was alive.  The death of her husband seemed to bring Corinne's music career to a screeching halt and fans like myself weren't sure of her return.  The Sea brought about a darker Corinne who still seemed to me morning the death of her love, but it also shown an enjoyment and love for the music that's allowed her to make it through those hard times.  I don't think there's any LP released this year that is similar to the mood or feel of this album.
