September 19, 2016 by BOB BOILEN • It's been six years since Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae released her second album, The Sea, so this Tiny Desk concert feels like both a re-introduction and a welcome back. The Sea dealt with the sudden death of her husband, saxophonist Jason Rae; since then, she's married producer Steve Brown, and together they've made a new record called The Heart Speaks In Whispers. That album has this English singer recording with the likes of Esperanza Spalding, Marcus Miller and members of the band KING.
There's real joy in this genre-defying performance — just great songs and a unique voice. It's a treat for new fans and old friends alike.
The Heart Speaks In Whispers is available now:
iTunes:
Amazon:
SET LIST:
"Paris Nights / New York Mornings"
"Hey, I Won't Break Your Heart"
"The Skies Will Break"
