Less than twelve months ago Corinne Bailey Rae was a name still to trouble most people’s ears. Yet within the space of a year this previously unknown singer from Leeds has become an award winning, multi-platinum global superstar who has not only taken Britain and Europe by storm but exploded across Asia and broken America with a grace and ease that was previously thought impossible, selling over 2 million albums worldwide in under six months.
From a number one hit in Japan to a gold record in New Zealand; from selling half a million records in the US in just six weeks to playing to 30,000 fans in Portugal; from winning a Mojo Award to being nominated for three Mobo Awards, the story goes on and on – 2006 has been a whirlwind of unprecedented success and here is where it all started…
‘Like A Star’ is a special song, one of those beautiful moments in music that affects even the most hardened soul. When Corinne played it on Later With Jools last November the effect was spine-tingling. Burt Bacharach hailed her as fantastic, the Arctic Monkeys told the NME it “makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up” and the record-buying public sent the limited-edition release straight into the Top 40.
What followed was the enormous success of Corinne’s first single proper ‘Put Your Records On’, the release of Corinne’s self-titled debut album in March which is now approaching triple platinum status in the UK, a sold-out UK tour and a truly international success story. And now ‘Like A Star’ is getting a full commercial release as a single featuring new B-sides, including a cover of Aretha Franklin’s ‘Daydreaming’, and the beautifully shot, brand new video:
7" – Like A Star / Enchantment (Amp Fiddler remix) CD – Like A Star / Emeraldine (brand new track) ECD – Like A Star / Enchantment (Amp Fiddler remix) / Daydreaming / Like A Star video
