The Sea is a remarkable accomplishment. It's a step toward something--Rae's inner peace, and her next artistic breakthrough--that has its own considerable rewards.
-
In grappling with the sudden death of her husband in 2008, the U.K. singer/songwriter has crafted a remarkable set that includes influences from rock and jazz, rich instrumentation and lyrics that linger well beyond the first listen.
-
It doesn't offer any answers, but The Sea is a testament to Rae's artistic growth as it provides comfort to those left on the wistful side of eternal love, and insight to those who are not.

Apr 9, 2012A great vocal performance and solid musicianship from the backing band result in a record well worth the time.
-
The record is refreshingly eclectic, adding several new layers to Rae's previous blend of classic soul and modern R&B.
-
The Sea is a richer effort than her debut. Given its inspiration, it forges a darker and more sophisticated sonic palette.
-
Session musicians removes salt from the sea!
