Corinne Bailey Rae album reviews

The Sea [4/10]

The Sea is the second studio album from Yorkshire singer songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae which features 11 new tracks which are 'Are You Here', 'I'd Do It All Again', 'Feels Like The First Time', 'The Blackest Lily', 'Closer', 'Love's On Its Way', 'I Would Like To Call It Beauty', 'Paris Nights/New York Mornings', 'Paper Dolls', 'Diving For Hearts' and 'The Sea'.

Corinne released her self-titled debut album in 2006 which was very well received and won a Grammy Award for ‘album of the year’; Corinne herself also won many major awards as did the single Put Your Records On. Early reviews of The Sea are very positive with the BBC’s Paul Lester saying “the music and melodies draw you in, and even when they follow their own lushly orchestrated circuitous path, they seem to dare you to drift away.”
