Corinne Bailey Rae is back!

Happy Sunday on this three day weekend. I am currently in my kitchen making spaghetti, spinach and turkey meatballs for my beautiful family. I am not sure how much of it I will actually eat given the little person brewing inside of me BUT... I like cooking. Anyway, here I am browsing the Internet, as I often do in between timers and I came across THIS. That's right Corinne Bailey Rae, one of my favorite artists of the past decade is back! Following what seemed like a decade long hiatus, she is returning with her new album The Sea on January 26. Her absence was pretty tragic. Her husband died suddenly not long after her first album came out and understandably so - she dropped from the music scene. But, with her last album still in my CD player (and on my IPOD), I am really looking forward to seeing how she has grown and what this tragedy has done to how she views life and herself as an artist. Losing my brother has made me see the whole world differently and I don't have half the talent she has. For those of you who don't know Ms. Rae, here is my favorite from her last CD:

"You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh...Your love..."

Simply Beautiful stuff, folks.
