The Heart Speaks in Whispers
A vibrant third album full of resolute and joyful soul, *The Heart Speaks in Whispers* was partially recorded in Los Angeles. The album’s subtle west coast influences, from bohemian chic (“Horse Print Dress,” “Green Aphrodisiac”) to Latin rhythms (“The Skies Will Fall,” “Tell Me”), find the English singer/songwriter stretching out, pinning her confessional R&B to lingering moods and fresh environments. Picture a lush garden while she strums out intimate thoughts on “Hey, I Won’t Break Your Heart.” You can feel “Been to the Moon” rising above the clinking bar glasses of a dark club. And imagine the coolest coffeehouse playing “Do You Ever Think of Me” on repeat.
Corinne Bailey Rae's lush new album features Esperanza Spalding, Moses Sumney, R&B group KING, and others. The mood feels wide open, centered on spacious grooves.
