Black Rainbows

Corinne Bailey Rae

A radical departure into jagged art-rock, distorted punk, and spiritual jazz. Inspired by Black history, it is loud, heavy, and brilliantly unpredictable.

A fierce and visionary exploration of history that balances jagged aggression with moments of profound, spiritual grace.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the ethereal opening into the jagged, distorted punk energy of New York Transit Queen.
The eight-minute hypnotic sprawl of Put It Down where the groove dissolves into a shimmering, ambient meditation.
The way the saxophone wails against a wall of electronic noise during the climax of Erasure.
