Making a comeback last year with her aftermath tragedy album The Sea, Corinne Bailey Rae has released a single covering Bob Marley's "Is This Love?" No one's really sure why this single was released. Could it mean a new album of soulful lyrics in the making? Or could it be a deluxe version of the last released album?
After a year of success and making a splash in her native home of England and in the States, Rae experienced the tragic death of husband and saxophonist Jason Rae from a drug overdose. Two years passed when Rae had rediscovered her love for music and came out with her sophomore album The Sea. "Loss is one of the themes on the record, but also I think love is a really important theme on the record, as well," Rae told CNN reporter Denise Quan shortly after her husbands death.
Now with more time passed, her release of the Marley cover gives more soul and funk to the 1978 hit. "Trickling ivory keys introduce the Marley favorite, as the English singer delivers improvisational, solidified vocals backed by subtle, yet touching harmonies," says AOL Radio. She was always able to captivate listeners with her harmonic voice. Need a moment to relax and step away from the busy life of every day, take a listen.
