Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Her Record On

Advantages: Some good tracks, great music to relax too.
Disadvantages: A little too much of the same thing

After having had a phenomenal start to the year with the fabulous 'Put Your Records On', Bailey Rae subsequently brought out this much in demand, self-titled debut album. The album starts with the track 'Like A Star', which is a slow, jazzy number. Her vocals are still distinctive but the song is not as catchy or as memorable as 'Put Your Records On'. 'Enchantment' is less jazzy, and also quite unmemorable, fortunately the CD then redeems itself with 'Put Your Records On'. This is followed by 'Til It Happens To You' which whilst being another slow number has a nice beat with a definite blues feel followed by another single 'Trouble Sleeping' which is a bit livelier again. The haunting strings that play during the introduction of 'Call Me When You Get This' reminds me of a 1960s film soundtrack, although the rest of the track ...

A lot of detail has been included (even a flapping bonnet once the car has encountered a lot of damage). Tyre marks and dust clouds rise when you skid around a corner (although this does look very cheap because they are always the same length regardless of how much you actually do skid). There are five camera angles provided when you ...
