You need to be at the Black Cat on Saturday, June 3rd at 10pm.Also, I came back from Indiana, with over 100 records....so as soon as I can get some time to actually be at my own house, I'll post some stuff up.

Like A Star
My busy busy life...I have very little free time and no extra money. Not a good mixture for finding new music. In between hearing Sean Paul's "Temperature" and Lil Jon's "Snap Ya Fingers" 60 times a day, I have managed to discover an album by a 26 year old singer from the UK that I can't stop playing. 
Released in the UK a few months ago, Corinne Bailey Rae's self titled debut album is set to be released in the United States, June 20th. I told someone yesterday that she sounds like what would happend if Norah Jones, Bjork and Esthero had a child (impossible...i know. Or maybe not?)I've probably watched 30 minutes of TV in the past 2 weeks. I know she has been getting some love from VH1-Soul. Thats all I know. Radio?? I have no clue... I've heard criticism that all her songs sound the same, and she sings with no soul or no life. Eh... I not how I see it. You don't have to scream your songs *cough* maryjblige *cough* to make the words have weight. Until I see some linear notes, I'm guessing right now that she wrote her songs. The song writing is poetic, almost nursery rhyme-ish. Like a bedtime story. And all the songs don't sound the same, although there is a definite flow to the album. Everything fits.
So I give to you "Call Me When You Get This", and her single "Like A Star"Corinne Bailey Rae-"Call Me When You Get This"
Corinne Bailey Rae-"Like A Star"
This weekend I am traveling back to Indiana. I'll be there for awhile (most likely trying to increase my records collection by a few dozen items). I'll be sure to put you on to some good stuff upon my return.
