On February 2nd, 2010, EMI’s Capitol Records will release Corinne
Bailey Rae’s new album, The Sea. The record was co-produced by Bailey
Rae with Steve Brown, and Steve Chrisanthou, who produced many of the
songs on her debut album, which has sold four million copies worldwide.
Fans can check out behind-the-scenes footage of Corinne recording the
album and hear a preview of music from The Sea at her website, www.corinnebaileyrae.net.
Bringing together a new band of musicians, Bailey Rae recorded the album mainly in Leeds and Manchester, England. Her voice, always an expressive and soulful instrument, resonates with a poignant and newfound depth on The Sea. Loss and grief are recurring themes yet a sense of beauty and wonder ultimately radiates from the album’s dark corners.
