Advantages: Has a pretty front cover... Disadvantages: Delivery isn't up to the standard it should be...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This is one of the most frustrating albums I have ever had to endure... It lives off the reputation of a couple of songs, and frankly, is a dissapointment, and this is coming from someone who didn't have high expectations to start with!
It is a weird mixture of chilled out music, mixed with a couple of 'up-beat' tracks, mixed with fillers (Tracks just put there to make the album long enough to call and album). She regularly overstretches ... ...she just does not sing well enough to sing the songs she writes, a couple of her songs have excellent lyrics, but she just can't deliver them to make their full potential. Maybe she should switch to just writing songs and letting others deliver them properly.
You may think I am being harsh, well maybe I am a little... There are a few good tracks on this album, ones I would recommend to download are Put Your Records On, Till it Happens to You and ...

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 ... ...'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 does not offer much more, I was also disappointed with 'Choux Pastry Heart', a very slow, and sombre track that ...

Advantages: Relaxing sounds Disadvantages: Bit boring half way through
...long day at work.
Corinne Bailey Rae has come from bottom rising to the top, with a great start to the year 2006 with "Put your records on" and MoBo award winner, she's now proving what it takes to be a star. Her songs deliver a voice that pins you and relaxes you into her imaginative abyss. With sophisticated song writing I'm really going to support her music because she deserves the attention. Why? Because she is a British artist and she has been ... ...in the underground community.
Listening to her album the style of music that she produces, my perceptions of her is that she almost not trying to follower the footsteps of certain artists who are around today. For example Jill Scott with that poetry flow, Angie Stone who possess natural rhythm and culture, just to name a few. Shes making her own decision on judgement of life and thats what people want to hear. So my verdict is keep trying Corinne, ...
