Corinne Bailey Rae’s cool, calm, and collected vibe is consistent throughout her eclectic catalog, which comes packed with sweet, subtle surprises. Take the classic-rock guitar and talk box that pop up in “The Blackest Lily,” the moody psychedelia rippling through “In the Dark,” and the singer/songwriter’s silky reworking of Bob Marley’s “Is This Love?”—all which are highlighted by Rae’s honeyed, soul-warming vocals.
