release description

Grammy-winning artist Corinne Bailey Rae returns with The Love EP on Capitol Records. The Love EP is a five-song collection of covers that Bailey Rae calls an "homage to some of my favorite musicians, as well as a conversation between some of my musical influences."

The Love EP opens with a cover of Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover" — one of Bailey Rae's favorite songs by the legendary artist. Next up is "Low Red Moon," written by former Throwing Muses/Breeders singer Tanya Donelly for her band Belly. "Low Red Moon" is followed by Bailey Rae's unique take on the 1978 Bob Marley classic "Is This Love," which cruised up the Urban AC radio chart this fall. Bailey Rae also chose to cover "My Love," a No. 1 hit by Paul McCartney & Wings. The Love EP closes with a live version of "Que Sera, Sera" (popularized by Doris Day and Sly Stone) — a song that Bailey Rae and her band have been closing shows with on her recent tour.

Bailey Rae co-produced each track on The Love EP with Steve Brown who co-produced Bailey Rae's latest album The Sea, which bowed in the Top 10 on Billboard's Top 200 chart in January.

Corinne has been nominated for an NAACP Image Award for outstanding female artist alongside Mary J., Rihanna, Sade and Chrisette Michele. The awards will be given on March 4th.
