Corinne Bailey Rae Announces New Single

Good Groove / Virgin Records will release ‘Paris Nights/ New York Mornings’ from Corinne Bailey Rae’s hugely acclaimed new album ‘The Sea’, as a single on March 29th.  Described as a “60s influenced pop song in the manner of Belle & Sebastian” by Q, with “an abundance of sass” by Uncut, it’s a “fizzing pop gem” according to Observer Music Monthly, a “swirling keyboard powerhouse” from The Word magazine and “an upbeat pop belter” by Echoes.

A sunny, Feist-meets-St Etienne style quirky pop song, it’s full of the lightness and joy Corinne is famous for with the likes of ‘Put Your Records On’. Accompanied by a glorious video shot in Paris, naturally enough, it showcases a different, more uptempo side to Corinne’s new album.

‘The Sea’ was released last week in the US and has smashed straight into the Billboard chart at no.7. Released this week in the UK it’s already the highest new entry on the midweeks, sitting at no. 4 today ahead of new entries from the likes of Ke$ha, Hot Chip , Peter Andre and Midlake.

On Monday, as previously announced, she performs as the finale at the One Young World summit’s Opening Ceremony, taking place at Old Billingsgate with the likes of Desmond Tutu, Kofi Annan and Sir Bob Geldof in attendance.
