Corinne Bailey Rae - The Love EP
The British singer’s first two albums, which sold four million copies, were worlds apart: her self-titled debut was soulful and sunshine-y, while her followup, The Sea, was darker and more poignant, coloured by the death of her husband. This five-song collection is mostly fun and sexy, from covers of Prince’s “I Wanna Be Your Lover” and Bob Marley’s “Is This Love” to Paul McCartney’s “My Love.” Bailey Rae’s sensuous, jazz-funk remake of Doris Day’s “Que Sera Sera” is a revelation: deliciously slow and reflective.
