Sometimes a song appears to come out of nowhere, and then it’s everywhere. Put Your Records On was that kind of song but to say it came out of nowhere is to do Leeds born and educated Corinne Bailey Rae a disservice. Having put in time in several groups, not least adding to vocals to tracks by Leeds bands such as The New Mastersounds, this was not so much a sudden hit as rather the arrival of a significant talent.

Corinne is involved with Pump Aid -  a charity bringing sustainable clean water and sanitation to communities in Africa. Check them out here.
