Corinne Bailey Rae//New Dates

Following her superb gig at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Corinne Bailey Rae has announced details of three brand new UK shows including a hometown gig in Leeds. The full dates are as follows…

MARCH

27th – Leeds Metropolitan University

29th – Glasgow Oran Mor

30th – Leamington Spa Assembley Halls

Corinne started work on the songs for her second album at the end of 2007, following a whirlwind two years which saw her go from unknown singer-songwriter to worldwide multi-platinum, award-winning artist with a string of Grammy and Brits nominations to her name.

It is also an album that will linger long in the listener’s memory and imagination, a direct opposite to the disposable, fast-paced consumption of modern music. Dark, seductive, emotional, honest and yet full of hope it offers total immersion in its world.

As Corinne recently told the Observer Music Monthly, “There is something miraculous that pushes you along, makes you keep going, makes you carry on. It’s really about the mystery of that. In fact, the whole album is about that in a way; it’s about loss but it’s also about hope, about keeping going and trying to find that beauty”.
