From the very start of her career, Corinne Bailey Rae has radiated talent, writing and performing songs with a free, airy quality that belies their emotional heft. The soulful R&B singer and songwriter broke out with her self-titled solo debut in 2006, which hit No. 1 on UK charts driven by the hit singles “Put Your Records On” and “Like a Star.” Her second album The Sea was nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2010, and she’s taken home two Grammys—her first for her work on Herbie Hancock’s River: The Joni Letters, and another for her version of Bob Marley's "Is This Love." Her music has frequently appeared in film and television; she composed the theme to Stan Lee’s Lucky Man, covered Coldplay’s “The Scientist” for Fifty Shades Darker, and “New to Me,” which Tracee Ellis Ross performed in the 2020 film The High Note. Her latest album is 2016’s The Heart Speaks in Whispers.
