Wow, it seems like forever since we heard from British singer-songwriter – and two time GRAMMY-winner – Corinne Bailey Rae. She won a lot of hearts a decade ago with her smash debut album and the joyous single “Put Your Records On.”
Well, Corinne is back with a new single and video called “Been To the Moon,” written by Corinne and Steve Brown with Paris and Amber Strother from the hot LA-based future-soul group KING. It comes from her upcoming disc The Heart Speaks In Whispers, her first full-length album in 6 years which 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).
