Corinne Bailey Ray
My colleague graciously shared a copy of
Corinne Bailey Ray's album with me yesterday. I'd already seen her grammy performance alongside the two Johns, Legend and Mayer, and I was nothing short of impressed by her unique, classic sound. I hadn't had the chance to purchase the album, so the minute I got home, I popped in the CD and allowed Corinne's one-of-a-kind stylized tunes to sing me to sleep.
I'm such a huge fan of
John Legend as well. I almost died of depression when I heard that he was going to Hong Kong, but didn't extend his tour to the Philippines. So, I'm not too sure if it'd be fair to either artists when I say that they're each the male/female version of one another, if you know what I mean. That's just an over-simplified way of saying that I equally admire them both as artists.
Their songs make one wanna fall in love, and coming from me, that's saying a lot.
My personal fave? Her track titled
Trouble Sleeping. Now, at some point, haven't we all been through what she describes in that song? Oh that giddy feeling and the sleepless nights.
