Corinne Bailey Rae’s album The Sea hit stores today and while it was hard to bump NPR’s first listen in the whip, we’re glad the album is out now because we needed to hear it grace actual speakers. Corinne stopped by the Today show on NBC earlier for a quick interview speaking on how her husband’s death influenced the album and the definition of Neo-Soul.
She also performed the monstrosity of a track — “Closer” off her sophomore album (cop here). Video courtesy of Yardie.
