The Sea is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae, (most famous for ‘Put Your Record On’) released on 20th Jan, available 1st Feb (according to all the Underground posters)
I am listening to it right now & haven’t chosen the best one yet -- but I’ll be too greedy not to share her music.
Upon its release, the album received generally positive reviews from most music critics. Several critics viewed it as a sign of artistic growth and maturity for Rae. About.com’s Mark Edward Nero gave The Sea 4.5 out of 5 stars and praised Rae for her emotional depth, writing “although this is a very personal, emotionally rich album, it celebrates life’s beauty more than it wallows in it’s darkness”.
Other critics said:
Rae has emerged sombre yet defiant with a stunning record that rises above expectation.
Rae’s vocal twists and turns sound magically organic..
The Sea “boasts an unusually crisp sound”
(please excuse me for not doing it in a playlist like the pro, I was told how to do it -- but I didn’t manage)
Enjoy!
Haven’t listened to her in a while
