from people mag:
Corinne Bailey Rae is set to sail on a new journey in her career with the release of her new album The Sea on Feb. 2, it was announced Thursday.

The singer, 30, whose husband Jason was found dead in March 2008, has spoken of how she has channeled her grief into some of the new songs.

"I hope you guys will like it and be into it," she says in a video on her Web site. The Leeds-based singer also says she co-produced the new record and promises "some hints" of the new work and behind-the-scenes footage will come to the site.

Rae's 2006 debut song "Put Your Records On" sold 4 million copies. Prior to the February release of her album, she will perform some new shows in the U.S., as well as a Nov. 23 London concert.

Just left the devil worship thread huh?..

Thank GOD! I was patient w/ her follow up because of the sudden death of her husband. Just tragic. I'm very interested to hear what she writes about on the new CD. She's one of the saviors of pop music. I hope she's around a long time.

Corinne Bailey Rae Debuts New Songs in London
November 24, 2009



Corinne Bailey Rae has made her long-awaited live return with an emotional London gig.

The concert at the Tabernacle, West London, last night (Nov. 23) was her first full show since the March 2008 death of her husband, Jason Rae, from an accidental drugs overdose, and saw her debut songs from her second album, "The Sea."

Much of the new material is a departure from the breezy pop soul of her self-titled debut record, which hit No. 1 in the United Kingdom in 2006 and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 in 2007.

Bailey Rae played just three songs from that album last night -- "Like a Star" and an encore of "Put Your Records On" and "Til It Happens to You" -- instead concentrating on the deeply personal songs from the new album. The intimate surroundings proved the perfect venue for such a set, with Bailey Rae greeted as she came on stage by a clearly audible shout of "We missed you!" from a fan ("I missed you too," she replied).

Highlights of the set included the emotional ballads "I'd Like to Call It Beauty" and "I'd Do It All Again" and the upbeat "Paris Nights and New York Mornings," likely to be the first full single release from the album.

Bailey Rae's has also developed musically since her first album, with the jazz and soul touches augmented by a rockier sound on songs like show-opener "Are You Here?" and "Paper Dolls."

Bailey Rae played a brief set in support of Richard Hawley as a late addition to learning disability charity Mencap's Little Noise Sessions, held at London's Union Chapel on Nov. 19, but the Tabernacle show was her full live comeback.

Set list:

Are You Here
Paris Nights
Love's On Its Way
Like a Star
Closer
Paper Dolls
I'd Do It Again
Diving for Hearts
I Would Like to Call It Beauty
The Sea

Put Your Records On
Till It Happens To You

She had a great debut album. I'm glad she's found her voice again after the tragedy.
