Feb 16, 2011It's a light stop-gap to hold fans over until Rae's third album.
-
Feb 18, 2011Bailey Rae's The Love EP is a short, but great listen with some of the finest love songs ever written.
-
Feb 16, 2011The British singer's brand of neo-soul is usually pretty mellow, but on this five-song covers EP she sounds spunkier.
-
Feb 16, 2011By all means, skip over the wan, pointless re-enactment of Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover." And put aside the interminable live version of "Que Sera Sera," a poor approximation of Sly & the Family Stone. What's left? A winningly seductive neo-soul take on Bob Marley's "Is This Love," released as a single last year. A sparse, lilting reading of Paul McCartney's "My Love." And a wild card, "Low Red Moon," by the 1990s alternative-rock band Belly.
-
Feb 16, 2011If nothing else, Rae is to be commended for branching out and trying new styles, but it's that final song that really makes this record worthwhile.
-
Feb 16, 2011While every cover on The Love may not be exceptional, Corinne Bailey Rae once again exhibits remarkable vocal and musical range.
