Girl, put your records on....

UPDATE: Zipped over to COSTCO this afternoon to buy steaks, golf balls and Snapple and found/purchased Corrine Bailey Rae for $9.99. My first reaction is that it's a little mellow (yes, in the Norah Jones sense, but I became a convert to her). Thinking Lauren Hill, while Garrett says Macy Gray. I like the third cut, Put Your Records On.

Lots of hype about R&B wunderkind Corrine Bailey Rae from the UK, who has been compared to Norah Jones and even Billy Holiday, but tries to downplay that niche. Listening to some cuts on her site, I come away thinking very likable, but a little too mellow. CBR hits the area in August to play the Paradise Rock Club in Boston and Webster Hall in NYC.
