corinnebaileyrae

(March 11, 2016) A couple weeks ago, we excitedly featured the brand new song from singer-songwriter – and two time GRAMMY-winner – Corinne Bailey Rae, “Been To The Moon,” as we excitedly waited for her upcoming disc The Heart Speaks In Whispers, her first full-length album in 6 years. And now we have a second song!

The album will be released May 13 on Virgin Records. The Heart Speaks In Whispers was both at her studio in Leeds, and in Los Angeles, the album is co-produced by Corinne with Steve Brown, her collaborator on her critically acclaimed previous album The Sea. The album features a number of notable musicians including Pino Palladino (D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, The Who), James Gadson (Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers), Marcus Miller (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock), Esperanza Spalding and Moses Sumney (best known for his work with Beck). 

“Green Aphrodisiac” is a tasty midtempo that we are loving from the get go. It is also our newest SoulTracks First Listen. Check it out below and tell us what you think!
