Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On

Breakthrough artist for 2006, Corinne's fragile voice sneaks through the back to basics pulsating R&B beat. Her silken voice utters the lyrics in such a carefree manor the Leeds born vocalist appears to barely try yet achieves so much. 'Put Your Records On' is taken from her much hyped debut album Like A Star. The title track is backed with 'Another Rainy Day'. EMI. Album Description

rip off

I understood this to be a 2 cd deal...when in fact it was 1 cd and a single with 1/2 songs included on the original cd. I paid $8 bucks for 1 song and was displeased to find that i could not return it as it had been opened. I like the artist so i didn't fuss but the set-up was shady..."buy these 2 for this deal" when in fact it was a one song deal. SUck! May 21, 2007

Put Your Records On

My fault - I didn't read the fine print, just wanted to hear CB Rae and only got an album with only 2, yes, ONLY TWO songs on it. Not a great deal, but at least one song is "Put Your Records On" March 11, 2007

Soulful Corinne Bailey Rae is a breath of fresh air..

Soulful Corinne Bailey Rae is a breath of fresh air. When you listen to her songs, you can feel that she is connected (shows emotion) with the songs (and the lyrics). It's quite amazing to see a singer her age able to express music at this level.

Her voice is not the best I have heard but she's definitely unique. Her voice is comforting and down to earth.
If you like Jazz, Blues or Soul, you should definitely try to listen to the jazzy, bluesy and soulful Corinne Bailey Rae.

And I highly recommend you to listen to "Put Your Records On" at least several times and I'm sure most of you will love it...

Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

WHERE'S the REST of the CD?....I was confused!

When I first played the CD...I thought my CD player was broken...or that there was something wrong with this new CD! However, in checking the case a little closer, it said: QUOTE "2 track single, EXPECT TO PAY NO MORE THAN $2.00." Unquote
I paid three times that amount without being told I was getting 2 songs.
That's not truthful advertising or honest pricing! I'm NOT disappointed in the singer, Ms. Corinne Bailey Rae, but I surely didn't realize I was paying that much for 2 teeny songs!! signed..."disappointed in the marketing!" March 1, 2007

Left wanting more!

I love her music. However, I didn't realize until I got the CD that there are only two tracks on it. It was like getting an old 45 record or a demo tape. January 31, 2007
