| Corinne Bailey Rae - Green Aphrodisiac |
Release Date: Out Now
I am so, so pleased to have
Corinne Bailey Rae back on the musical agenda. CBR was always one of those
genuinely talented artists who suffered some tragedy and bad luck at a key
point in her career which could have seen her become nothing more than a foot
note. But genuine talent always comes through in the end and a new album along
with some serious touring (much of it with Lionel Richie) sees our heroine back
in the frame, without a doubt. ‘Green Aphrodisiac’ is the first tune from the
new album and it is just beautiful. That soft voice that preceded the likes of
Laure Mvula is unfolded upon a luxurious bed of gentle organs and sparkling
keys before a sexy beat kicks in and suddenly this is a full blown jazz-funk
slow jam. Corrine’s voice is effortless but exceptional at the same time which
is a clear sign of someone born to do it, as Craig David once said. Just in
time for lazy, summery Sunday afternoon chillaxing, one of the greatest British
voices ever returns and I can already feel the grass between my toes. Blissful.
