Corinne Bailey Rae: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Рет қаралды 2,712,604
7 жыл бұрынSeptember 19, 2016 by BOB BOILEN • It's been six years since Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae released her second album, The Sea, so this Tiny Desk concert feels like both a re-introduction and a welcome back. The Sea dealt with the sudden death of her husband, saxophonist Jason Rae; since then, she's married producer Steve Brown, and together they've made a new record called The Heart Speaks In Whispers. That album has this English singer recording with the likes of Esperanza Spalding, Marcus Miller and members of the band KING.
There's real joy in this genre-defying performance - just great songs and a unique voice. It's a treat for new fans and old friends alike.
The Heart Speaks In Whispers is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/the...
Amazon: www.amazon.com/Heart-Speaks-W...
SET LIST:
"Paris Nights / New York Mornings"
"Hey, I Won't Break Your Heart"
"The Skies Will Break"
CREDITS:
Producers: Bob Boilen, Niki Walker; Audio Engineers: Suraya Mohamed, Josh Rogosin; Videographers: Niki Walker, Colin Marshall; Production Assistant: Rachel Horn; Photo: Morgan McCloy/NPR.

She was fresh, naive, and innocent as a child. Today she is all grown-up and singing real heart breaker songs...You go girl....

TachirosLament both of her albums are good but Corinne was truly herself with The Sea. In fact both her second and third album she was truly herself in. Not to mention The Sea is so much better written and a lot more relatable. “I can do it all again” , “Diving For Hearts”, “Closer”, “Are you here”, “I would like to call it beauty” songs proves not only how amazing of a writer Corinne is but also when she’s truly in her element, she can express herself to in any genre. Hell, Corinne was a lead singer in a rock band back in her school days. As much as her self titled album is great and what got me into her, her second and third album is where Corinne truly shines her creativity. Which to me, proves how underrated of a writer and performer she is. Yes, she’s my favorite artist of all time
