REVIEWS AND COMMENTARIES ON THE LATEST IN R&B, NEO SOUL, AND OTHER MUSIC GENRES

Saturday, November 18, 2006



"Go Put Your Records On" was the first single from vocalist and guitarist, Ms. Corrine Bailey Rae. I was first introduced to this artist by doing something hadn't really done in a long time. I was sitting around and watching videos on VH-1.

I really started liking this song. There was something very subtle and soothing in her delivery. So when this cd came out, I took a chance and bought it without hearing anything else. Not the first time that I have done something like this and very happy that I did.

The cd as a whole is very mellow. Every now and then I can hear parts of her English accent seeping through and I think that this is what appeals to me. It has given her songs a certain freshness and warmth that will make them stand out on their own.

My favorite song is "Breathless". The arrangement has a jazz and blues overtone and the way she sings, the words just float right over it. In this song you can feel her passionate plea to her love interest -- "Don't tell me you can't see what I'm thinking of".

I also like "Seasons Change" and "Call Me When You Get This"

Go and put Corrine Bailey Rae On.

Until next time -- Peace.
