Four singles were released from the album: "Like a Star", "Put Your Records On", "Trouble Sleeping" and "I'd Like To". Corinne Bailey Rae has sold over four million copies worldwide.

Release and promotion

"Like a Star" was released as the album's lead single in a limited-edition format in 2005, peaking at number 34 on the UK Singles Chart. When re-released in October 2006, "Like a Star" reached a new peak position of number 32 on the UK chart. The second single, "Put Your Records On", peaked at number two in February 2006. "Trouble Sleeping" was released as the album's third single in May 2006, peaking at number 40 in the UK.

"I'd Like To" was released on 12 February 2007 as the fourth and final single. On the same day, the album was re-released with a bonus disc containing some of the B-sides and remixes included on previous singles, as well as three new tracks—one of which, a cover of Björk's 1993 song "Venus as a Boy", only previously appeared on a covermount for Q magazine. Several songs from the album appear in the 2006 comedy-drama film Venus starring Peter O'Toole. In the United States, "Breathless" was released as a promotional single in 2007.

Critical reception

Template:Album ratings Corinne Bailey Rae received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 69, based on 13 reviews.[9] While some critics perceived filler as a weakness of the album, Bailey Rae earned positive comparisons to female recording artists such as Billie Holiday, Norah Jones, Erykah Badu, Minnie Riperton, and Macy Gray.[10][11][12][13][14] David Jeffries of AllMusic called it "pleasingly homegrown, warm, and poignant in parts".[15] Los Angeles Times writer Natalie Nichols compared Bailey Rae's music to that of Sade and Stevie Wonder.[16] Michael Endelman of Entertainment Weekly called it "extremely agreeable, a bit predictable, and occasionally irresistible".[17] MusicOMH writer Michael Hubbard called the debut "exceptional in every way" and "a breath of fresh air"[18] Preston Jones of Slant Magazine was more lukewarm, saying "Rae’s amiable competence marks her as a talent worth keeping tabs on, but the strength of Corinne Bailey Rae is fleeting, a triumph of mood over tangible substance."[19]

In contrast, Neil Spencer of The Observer gave the album a scathing review, saying "Beyond her calling card single, 'Like a Star', however, she shows a lack of ambition. The arrangements are generic (Al Green's leftovers, mostly), the cooing backing singers bland, and the lyrics pedestrian."[20]

Paste listed the album as the 41st best of 2006.[21]

Accolades

Bailey Rae received a nomination for Best UK & Ireland Act at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards.[22] That same year, she won two MOBO Awards for Best UK Newcomer and Best UK Female,[23] as well as a Mojo Award for Best New Act.[24] Bailey Rae won Outstanding New Artist at the 2007 NAACP Image Awards, and was nominated for Outstanding Female Artist and Outstanding Album.[25] At the 2007 Grammy Awards, Bailey Rae received a nomination for Best New Artist, while "Put Your Records On" was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.[26] The following year, Bailey Rae was nominated for another Grammy Award for Song of the Year for "Like a Star",[27] and "Put Your Records On" won an ASCAP Award for Song of the Year.[28]
