Corinne a Hit

03/07/06
. (Capitol) Today Corinne Bailey Rae's self-titled debut album came in at #1 on the U.K. album chart. The strong first-week sales suggest that the public is every bit as enchanted by the singer-songwriter as the U.K. press. "Leeds native Corinne Bailey Rae is a new UK soul singer who, for once, won't be hemmed in by the genre's limitations....by year end, she will be everybody's soul siren of choice, and rightly so," said Q Magazine in its four-star review of the album.

Capitol Records will introduce Corinne Bailey Rae to U.S. audiences via the three-song, digital only EP Like A Star, available beginning tomorrow, and upcoming shows at New York's Mercury Lounge (March 13th), Los Angeles' Hotel Caf� (March 15th) and at SXSW in Austin (March 16th). "A sublime folk-soul fusion from one of the best voices we've heard in a long time," said Music Week of the EP. It features three songs from Bailey Rae's forthcoming debut album, which is due out June 6th in the States. The EP's title track, "Like A Star," was recently featured in its entirety on "Grey's Anatomy" and the video was just added by VH1 Soul's "Sub Soul," the channel's show for new music.
