We had the pleasure of catching the endlessly talented (and dewy) Corinne Bailey Rae debut material from her new album “The Sea” at Hiro Ballroom on Monday. The singer/songwriter has weathered some tough times in the past couple of years so it was lovely to see her give the adoring crowd such a vibrant performance.

Check out her official site for more info on her new album and tour dates. For more le coil shots from the show, head over to our Facebook page…
