The Sea

a true glimpse of corinne... i almost feel guilty eavesdropping... beautiful music... soulful delivery... it's often hard to understand in the beginning, but the more yo listen... you find it becomes clear... i actually made my own version with the songs in a more palatable order... because the mood is quite melancholy on most of the tracks... i chose to group the more upbeat osngs together and when i'm in the mood i'll shuffle between the songs. but each song is awesome in it's own way... so very poetic

At the first listen, I felt oddly let down...But then I started to read the lyrics...and now I'm addicted. I have listened to this album almost everyday for the past few weeks. Beautiful, haunting, varied, and substantial. A must-listen.

The new album from Corinne Bailey Rae is filled with the kind of evocative longing that only someone who has lost a beloved one can deliver. Her songs are at once sad and happy, if that is possible, and the entire CD is filled with listenable tracks. I love it!

Found it to be boring and typical...sounded like an album full of "unreleased rarites." Although I empathize wit her loss, I hope she doesn't continue on the path of mourning for her next project. I don't mind it being "dark", but the are many albums/songs with even darker subject matter (take Clapton's "Tears In Heaven" for example) that are classic.

This CD was produced after the death of her husband. You can hear the sadness and longing in her voice. This was a healing process for the artist. It is a beautiful CD in the fact that the emotions are real and on the surface.
