With her recent single ‘Put Your Records On’ receiving significantly more airtime than Chantelle, Preston and the happy slapping phenomenon combined, West Yorkshirewoman Corinne Bailey Rae is already a big noise waiting to happen. Only, in reality she's actually quite a small noise a glorious mixture of subtle beats and soaring choruses that are shiny enough
to help your auntie start her day while resonant enough to help you end yours when the drugs have ceased to work. It might be that, for the gnarlier palate, this, Bailey Rae's debut album, is a bit glib, a bit la-di-Dido. But if you don't mind the odd reflective moment, the odd luscious production value, then this has plenty to offer. Both warm and wise.
