About Corinne Bailey Rae

Corinne Bailey Rae emerged in 2006 with a self-titled debut that felt effortless in a way that suggested real craft underneath. "Put Your Records On" became the kind of song that defined a moment—warm, fingerpicked guitar, lyrics about simple contentment that somehow never feel trite. It's the song that made her name, but it's not her only move. Her voice has this conversational quality, like she's singing directly to you about actual feelings rather than performing them. She followed that debut with "The Sea and the Rhythm" in 2010, which showed more complexity, more willingness to sit with darker emotional territory. What's notable about Rae is her restraint. She doesn't oversell anything. A song like "Closer" moves by economy and intimacy rather than bombast. She spent years away from music after personal loss, which gave her work an added weight when she returned. She's remained steadily herself across albums—soul music that prioritizes honesty over flash.

Her shows are intimate despite the venue size. Crowds go quiet, actually listening. There's a conversational ease between her and the audience. She plays long, lets songs breathe. People come for the hits but stay absorbed in the deeper cuts. No filler, no excess.

Known for Like a Star, Put Your Records On, Closer, I'd Do It All Again, Before I Sleep

Corinne Bailey Rae + Seattle

Corinne Bailey Rae brought her particular brand of soul to The Moore Theatre in July 2022, working through a setlist that balanced her most recognizable moments with deeper cuts. She opened with "Been to the Moon" and built toward the obvious crowd-pleasers—"Put Your Records On" and "Like a Star" landed in the second half—but the real meat of the show lived in the in-between. "Diving for Hearts" and "Green Aphrodisiac" showed why people who actually follow her work stick around. "The Skies Will Break" closed things out, a song that sits somewhere between contemplative and cathartic. It's the kind of show that works on people who know every album, not just the one single from 2006.

Live Music in Seattle

Seattle's soul and R&B landscape has always been more introspective than flashy—a city where Prince's influence runs deeper than the obvious funk stuff. Corinne Bailey Rae fits that mood perfectly. Her blend of layered production, intelligent songwriting, and voice that can hold space without needing to fill it aligns with how this city tends to approach soul music: thoughtful, patient, more interested in texture than spectacle.

Seattle road trip to see Corinne Bailey Rae?

Stay in Capitol Hill if you want walkable nightlife and independent record stores, or head to Fremont for quirky charm and coffee culture. Before the show, eat at Altura in Pike Place Market—serious, ingredient-focused cooking that doesn't announce itself. Spend an afternoon at the Frye Art Museum, a genuinely world-class collection in an underrated space. The city's waterfront is worth a walk, and if you time it right, catch the sunset from Gas Works Park. Seattle takes its music seriously and moves at its own pace—which means you should too.
