Trouble Sleeping - Corinne Bailey Rae (Director: Andy Hylton)
What do you get when you add Lauryn's Hill's voice with the spunk of Macy Gray? You get Corinne Bailey Rae. Coming out of Leeds, United Kingdom, some people are comparing her to Billie Holiday. This is the video for her third single from her debut album, which has already been released in the UK, but not in the US.
this is very boring...... a missed opportunity to do something interesting......
¡STOP! i mean she sure is great and all, but can somebody plz. pass a law against comparing her to billie holiday? » strange fruit @ youtube
agree with thetilla, missed an opportunity, a vid like a lifestyle mag.
ok she's good, but:
-
she does NOT have the vocal power of lauryn hill. VERY VERY far from it.
-
she's nothing like macy gray, spunk wise. corinne seems like the type of girl who makes picnics and reads pride and prejudice ad nauseum.
-
jazz comparisons... ha.
she's basically a sweet songbird. her voice is honey-dipped and her songs are non-confrontational. this is why people like her.
//end of rant
director is andy hylton btw
Yeah, she's a babe and can sing (you can hear a little Brazilian saudade) but do ditch the Billie Holiday nonsense.
