That EP was called \"Like A Star\", and 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e Following the frenzied media hype that's surrounded Leed's songstressCorinne Bailey Rae in recent months, she's got a lot to prove with her self-titled debut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd there's not much to complain about here; Rae has crafted a pleasant album of romantic soul, at its most blissful when she comes over all Billie Holiday-lite on \"Just Like A Star\" and \"Choux Pastry Heart\". It also features the occasional jam (\"I'd Like To\"), some bluesy head-nodders (\"Put Your Records On\") and at the odd R\u0026amp;B standard (\"Breathless\").\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of which adds up to awell rounded, if somewhat unchallenging,album - goingsomeway to confirm the 'soulful Norah Jones' tag which many have applied to Corinne's music. --Maxine Headley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFind more music at the BBC This link will take you off Amazon in a new window\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56438373155190,"sku":"0094635654523","price":5.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_532876_1672812_jpg_697047e7-ed3f-4d88-9651-929c1ea6666f.jpg?v=1760367059","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0094635654523-corinne-bailey-rae","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
