A cantora Corinne Bailey Rae faz hoje quarenta anos!

Corinne Bailey Rae (nascida Corinne Jacqueline Bailey; Leeds, 26 de fevereiro de 1979) é uma cantora britânica de soul music.
  

Biografia

Corinne nasceu e se criou na cidade de Leeds, na Inglaterra, filha de pai de São Cristóvão e Nevis e mãe inglesa, sendo a mais velha de três irmãs. Canta desde criança. Começou como muitas cantoras de Soul Music, cantando em coros de Igreja. Na escola, chegou a estudar violino clássico, mas não levou tal aprendizagem muito adiante, pois tinha ambições diferentes.

Uma delas, foi sua primeira aventura fora dos coros: uma banda indie que formou, aos 15 anos, com jovens da sua cidade, que foi batizada de Helen. O som possuía influências estilísticas de Led Zeppelin unida com a vontade der obter o mesmo sucesso de bandas femininas anteriores, como Veruca Salt e L7. Corinne era a vocalista e autora das letras que embalavam os hits da banda. Helen chegou a destacar-se localmente, dando visibilidade ao talento daquela jovem vocalista.

A banda durou pouco mais de 3 anos, dissolvendo-se após a gravidez da guitarrista.

Depois do fim da banda Helen, Rae estudou Literatura Inglesa, na Universidade de Leeds, licenciando-se em 2000. Enquanto estava a estudar, trabalhava à noite na chapelaria de um clube de jazz local. Ali, nos dias de menor movimento, subia ao palco para cantar, acompanhada pela banda do clube. Foi lá que descobriu um tipo diferente de música, que a levou a uma outra direção: "Eu ficava ouvindo jazz e soul e descobri que adorava música também."

Nessa época, conheceu Jason Rae (n. 1976), um saxofonista escocês, com quem se casou em 2001, aos vinte e dois anos. Jason foi encontrado morto em 22 de março de 2008, por overdose de metadona e álcool.

Depois de 10 anos, cantando com algumas componentes da banda, ou então em festas de família, Corinne já possuía material suficiente para lançar um CD. Foi então que a gravadora EMI a descobriu e decidiu apostar em seu reportório. Porém, meses antes do lançamento do álbum, a gravadora fez com que Corinne apresentasse ao público o single "Like a Star". O retorno não poderia ser melhor. O sucesso da música lhe concedeu o prémio "Som de 2006" da BBC, muitas capas de revista e diversas entrevistas em programas de rádio.

Em 27 de fevereiro de 2006, Corinne lançou o seu álbum a solo. Com influências de jazz (de que se declara fã), de música clássica e da soul music, Corinne então consolidou a sua imagem e encantou o Reino Unido com a sua voz doce e suave, arrancando da crítica jornalística artigos absolutamente positivos, e aplausos do público.
