Loving Corrine Bailey Rae

So I was listening to The Riot, Louie D and Cerah happened to play her song Like a Star. Poof! I was feeling jazzy-sexy!

Amidst three pm scorching heat. Yaw. Kinda odd mix, I know.

It's just so amazing Corrine Bailey Rae sounds. Her voice, sultry-sultry! Makes me really want to sound like her.

Makes me want to hold onto my own mic and sing my heart out, like some soulful lounge singer. Aww.

This 2007 Grammy nominated song of the year seems quite tickly sweet to me. When you're feeling cuddly-touchy-cozy. Yesss, that kind of mood. I ought it'll sound just about the same for you.

Maybe that's why it spent 71 weeks in the US Billboard 200 . Mind you, that's from 2006-2008, peaked at the number 4 spot. Like a Star also debuted number one in the UK in 2006.

This song's also been part of several series, Grey's Anatomy and Criminal Minds to name a few, proving it's unshaken popularity.

Corrine Bailey Rae's follow up single Put Your Records On, her biggest hit to date also found itself in the UK charts at number two.

In the 2012 Grammy Awards, she won Best R&B performance for the song Is This Love, a Bob Marley classic.
