The CD is just alright. I only like a couple of the songs. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

Corinne Bailey Rae makes the "Feel Good" album of the year. Every song takes you to another place, another mood, another feeling. From "Love" to "Little Girls playing Double Dutch on the concrete", you can picture it all. What a voice, what an album of pure, absolute raw talent and fun.
I recommend this album to everyone and have actually bought this as a gift for many of my friends.

This is a wonderful CD - the songs are all great. You will love this one -buy it you will not be sorry. Corinne is great.

I bought this CD for just a few good songs I had heard from her on the radio, but the other songs on the CD are GREAT.

Corinne shows great promise as a composer & vocalist. Most of the tracks are excellent, displaying lyricism with sweet, catchy melodies. Nice interplay, a pleasant album which flows nicely. Pity that a couple or more fillers removed one star off top grade.

A fresh new lovely sound by Corinne Bailey Rae. A joy to listen to.

I heard Like a Star and loved it and decided to check out the CD. I had never heard of the artist before so I was still on the fence. After listening to some of the tracks on her myspace page, I went out and brought the CD. I love EVERY Song on it. From start to finish and then repeat it again. I cant list my favorites because they all are.

Corrine Bailey Rae's debut disc is one of the best albums I've ever heard or listened to and definitely one of the top albums in my collection. With a voice so sweet coupled with hypnotizing backdrops and honest lyrics this album is a work of art, a masterpiece. This is an album that grows on you and is more complete and satisfying then any "R&B" album in the last couple years. I enjoy every song and every time I feel like relaxing or thinking or anything of the sort I instantly think of this album. Corrine Bailey Rae created a magical journey with this cd seamlessly going through every human emotion. Love, confusion, doubt, happiness etc. Every song is great to me, no slips. Undeniable grooves, amazing lyrics and a soothing voice makes this a classic for many years to come.

Corinne Bailey Rae's voice will captivate you. Her lyrics will touch your heart and you will want to hear more. I got to see her in concert from London on HDTV and now I am thoroughly under her spell. Get to know her music. She is beautiful in every way. KF

I was listening to AOL Radio one day and they played Corrine Bailey Rae. The song they played would come to be one of my all-time favorites. That song is called "Breathless." After that, someone who I often discuss music with mentioned Corrine, basically singing her praises. Since her taste in music is generally tasteful, I just had to hear Rae's self-titled debut. After listening to this album, I will profess that it exceeds decent slightly. Many have said that this album is excellent, brilliant and/or remarkable, and I have to disagree. This album is solid and definitely different from most of the music that has come out lately, but I wasn't impressed overall. I appreciate her craft of guitar-playing, her lyrical ability (she wrote or co-wrote everything on this LP) and the relaxed tone she tends to sing in, but it didn't do much for me.

All songs on "Corrine Bailey Rae" are either ballads or mid-tempo. I didn't have a problem with that since I love both tempos of music. As stated before, "Breathless" is a gem, but its the only song that stands out. Corrine exclaims her obsessive infatuation with her best friend on this track, and she does a beautiful job. The guitar compliments this song a great deal, not to mention it has one of the best hooks I've ever heard (lyric and melody wise.) "There's this chemistry, energy, a synchronicity when we're all alone", wow! Amazing lyrics! I related to "Trouble Sleeping" directly. This mid-tempo has good production and even better lyrics. Corrine is falling in love, but because love sometimes has a bad reputation, she is steadily denying that she is falling for someone. "Put Your Records On" was released to radio, and there is no need to wonder why because it is kind of radio friendly and has a nice hook and beat. "Enchantment" and "Butterfly" are both mid-tempos which contain very thought-provoking lyrics and decent production. Both songs are worth listening to.

Corrine's voice is sometimes pretty emotionless and also quirky, but that is what helps to make her different. Though this album didn't a lot for me, still, I recommend it to neo-soul fans or fans of soft rock. 3 stars.

Mikeisha's Top 5

1. "Breathless" (of course!)
2. "Butterfly"
3. "Enchantment"
4. "Seasons Change"
5. "Trouble Sleeping"

I saw the BBC production of her Live in London on RAVE networks and it was terrific, Not only is she cute, she is a very accomplished songstress with a dynamic and sultry voice.

Great CD - I may have to steal it from the person I gave it to!

The recipient of Corinne Bailey Rae was excited about receiving this CD and will enjoy many happy hours of listening.

Absolutely loved this CD, would like to purchase more from her , she is a wonderful singer!! Loved it!!

Simply said, this is a cd of "beautiful" music from a beautiful artist. Very soothing and enjoyable.

I love music that makes you want to turn it and move around. But this CD by Corinne Bailey Rae is not that kind of cd. This cd is for days that you just want to relax and kick back. You will want to sing along with Corinne when you are feeling good. And when you are down you will enjoy just listening to her soulful voice. This is a good cd for anyone that enjoys easy going singing and simple but wonderful songs.

I bought this for the song Put Your Records On, thats all I knew about this CD...I liked how someone sang it on American Idol...so I was buying this on blind faith and hoping I would like it. I figured I would like a few songs and it would be shelved for a long time. I don't like jazz or blues music that much, but I LOVE this CD. I think she has a great voice, how someone can call it monotone I don't know, but it draws you in and the stories with the songs are just perfect. I wanted to buy more of her songs, but there aren't any yet, come on Corinne, get recording! As for comparison I had bought Norah Jones also in the past, but that one didn't go anywhere with me, it got shelved pretty quick, Corinne has a whole different style and voice.

i have tried to endure her monotone selections and I just don't see the fasination much like Nora Jones, the same pitch & tone throughout, that is almost mummifying. She has her fan base and I wish her well.

I heard this artist on Saturday Night Live and knew I had to get the album. I was not disappointed. Listening to her music is like eating good chocolate - a rich, soothing, sensual delight.

I often play it when I'm relaxing or working. The songs are consistently good throughout.

Clearly If you listen to the CD, and you can find the words to say that it was just okay. Perhaps you are a tad bit tone def, or simply don't know talent when you hear it :) I love this CD from the beginning to the end. I love her accent and soulful melodies. It's different for me in so many ways. She is like a summer rain, and she warms me thru and thru. I hope to hear more from this artist after this album. Please don't fall off in to One Hit Wonder Land Please.

Hey, Corinne is just a musical dream come true on this! I can't emphasize enough how wonderful this project is; I play it most ALL the time & I LOVE IT! I know this music & lyrical gift of a person will go on & on. Thx Corinne for gracing us with your beautiful versatilities. Tonya S., Memphis, TN.

This is the CD I listen to if I can't sleep. The soft sound of her voice is comforting

This cd has a couple of good songs on it. But I was slightly disappointed that the rest of the cd wasn't as good. As always we have already had played on the radio the good songs.

I am very pleased that Ms. Bailey Rae sings out of pure heartCorinne Bailey Rae and does not see her body as means for selling her music. I heard her song "Trouble Sleeping", on the radio, and thought an angel was singing. I have heard her interviews and like the way she presents herself. Though young, North Americans like Beyonce could learn a lot from her. The songs and messages of hope and saintliness are what's needed. Bodies girating with tattoo's and naked promotes dirty countries. All of her songs are easy to listen to and one feels clean or cleansed while and after listening, this one. Thanks for the PURITY Corinne.

Corinne Bailey Rae sings effortlessly and with heart. What more can I say?
Wonderful...wonderful...wonderful.

Great CD. I love this girl's voice immediately after hearing it for the first time on SNL. She is a rare breed cross between Norah Jones, Billie Holiday, and another that escapes my memory. She is going to go a long way.

Corinne Bailey Rae's self-titled cd is perfect to listen to after a tiring day to help you relax or if you are in the mood for a little smooth jazz. The first four tracks of her cd are my favorites and overall I greatly enjoy this first debut by Corinne Bailey Rae, however I must admit that after Track number 5 "Trouble Sleeping" I find that all the rest sound pretty much all the same. The beats all seem to run together and there is no distinction between them. But overall, it is a really good cd and I hope to hear more from this talented singer, but I hope that on her next cd maybe she'll spice it up a bit more. So based on this I can only give this cd three stars.

Wow, this lady is awsome! Absolutely gorgeous voice, wonderful style, great songs. Can't go wrong with this one.

I was nervous about getting this cd until I heard someone playing it so I took a chance. The very first song stayed in my head for weeks. This cd is a must buy if you like Sade and or a Jill Scott fan.

I love this CD and don't imagine I'll ever get tired of listening to it. Magnificent command of her voice and of difficult key arrangements.

This is a great CD. Reminds me of Norah Jones. Love to hear Corinne sing. Recommended to me by a friend.

this CD is sooooo good. Any girl would like it. i especially like the song breathless.....its a must have

Iam going to make my review short and sweet: This CD is one of the best I have heard. Buy it; you will love it!

Excellent new singer with soul, blues and jazz in this recording. Toe-tapping favorites that were given as a gift and well-received. She is likened to Nina Simone but very contemporary!

I liked this CD the first time I heard it. Vocals were light, I tend to like a more earthy sound but thought her music fresh. I enjoyed her first track "Like a star". I would get another of her CD's. Hope to hear more from Ms. Rae.
