I love this album. It may not be ground breaking, but it is just good. Her voice and playfll tone is the highlight.

Nice to see someone making music with some care to it lasting. I'd like to see her improve the lyrics-- there are flashes of excellence, but then retreats to cliches. Still, in a world full or bragging rap abd screaming rock, this album is refreshing.

Wonderful. Corinne Bailey Rae's voice is soothing and beautiful. The CD is full of soul and sweet melodies. Simple and brilliant.

Really fabulous!!!! voice, music, everything.

marvelous songs, really amazing

Well, I bought this at the time it came out in the UK, so I have listened for quite a while. It's hardly anything groundbreaking, but it's pretty pleasant. The first 3 tracks are stunning, especially Like A Star. Enchantment is atmospheric and very relaxing, while Put Your Records On is catchy, jazzy and simpky brilliant. And then Trouble Sleeping helps too, another great track that one. Other than these tracks, not many stand out though. I hardly remember the melodies of the other songs. Probably only Choux Pastry Heart which is a fine song after a few listens, Breathless, and the out-of-place I'd Like To. Overall, it's not a bad album, just a little dissapointing given the strength of the singles. The US version has a nicer cover too.… Expand

Beautiful voice and beautiful sound. Her voice, her words are simple but honest and heartfelt, and startlingly refreshing.

Mediocrity in British form.

Beautiful simple lyrics to go with her lovely voice. I can listen to this straight through with no skips. Very good!

This album is a beautiful wind down at the end of the day type CD. Corinne’s voice is soothing and the lyrics are thoughtful. Her sound is magical and her poetic stories are real. As a woman in her mid twenties, it speaks to my life at it has been and as it is now. She is a true British gem and I cannot wait to see what she turns out next.

The lushness and quirky uniqueness of Raes voice caught my attention upon my very first listen of "Put your record on". Unfortunately the goosebumps which populated my arms after this one listen, as they do every time I think I've made a new musical "discovery" for myself, were nowhere to be seen upon my initial listening of Corinne's full length. While it's few high points deliver some memorable (and infectiously hum-able) melodies, the majority of this album seems tailor made for the docile and inattentive ears of Gap shoppers and bank queuers everwhere. It is at no point is it offensive or irritating, nor is it rousing, inspiring, engaging or challenging.… Expand

Finally, a breath of fresh air. So original, so simple, and oh so good!
