Corinne Bailey Rae is a gifted British singer-songwriter and guitarist from Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, known for her soulful, sultry voice and her unique blend of neo-soul, jazz, and indie pop. Born on February 26, 1979, Rae initially captured the public's attention with her eponymous debut album in 2006, which featured the hit singles "Put Your Records On" and "Like a Star." Her mellifluous vocals and evocative songwriting quickly established her as a standout talent, earning her critical acclaim and a global fanbase.

Following the success of her debut, Rae's musical journey took a deeply personal turn with the release of her second studio album, "The Sea" in 2010, reflecting a period of profound grief and introspection after the passing of her husband. Her subsequent works, including "The Love E.P." and her most recent full-length record, "The Heart Speaks In Whispers (Deluxe)", showcase her evolution as an artist, both in her exploration of different styles and her ability to imbue her music with emotional depth. Despite taking time between releases, her enduring charm and lyrical sincerity continue to resonate with audiences, as demonstrated by the varied collaborations and projects she embraces, such as the exuberant "New York Transit Queen" and the intimate "Jersey Girl." Corinne Bailey Rae's artistry lies not just in her vocal talent but also in her deft storytelling and the heartfelt connection she forges through her music.
