Corinne Bailey Rae: The Future Of Soul?
by admin ·
The UK-born singer/songwriter whose influences include Led Zeppelin, Massive Attack, Jill Scott and Hole (Courtney Love’s band) has been compared to Billie Holiday and critically acclaimed to the nth degree with her self-titled debut, released June 2006.
Combining soul and pop sensibilities with jazzy vocal stylings and an indescribable onstage innocence, the lanky vocalist is humble when painting a picture of her music.
“[It's] a little bit of everything: it’s chilled out, acoustic, kooky, atmospheric and soulful,” she says. “I’d also be tempted to say it comes from a very organic place, but that would sound pretentious, so I won’t.”
