Febraury 2, 2010

How exciting! Corrine Bailey Rae has finally set a date to release her new ablum entitled  “The Sea” for February 2, 2010.  After her public grief from the loss of her husband in 2008, she went into hiding in the studio and tells us that she will be blessing us with acoustic melodies and beautiful sounds to our ears once again.  I absolutely loved her first album in 2007 and I can’t wait to cop it when it hits stores next year…to be continued 🙂
