I heard that she was from Leeds, but all her website says is that she is cute.
IT BECOMES SELF-EVIDENT THE MOMENT you hear her sing the very first note of her very first EP. It's called ‘Like A Star’, and it's a slice of sublime blues delivered with a voice that pins you, in the softest but most persuasive of ways, to the wall; a voice that floats up effortlessly, full of caress, subtlety and the very purest quality. It is wonderful, this voice, and surely a discovery to treasure, but it belongs to a young woman not from somewhere musically exotic - say, Mississippi or even Manhattan - but just east of the M1: Leeds. Her name is Corinne Bailey Rae, and she was born to do this.
